77. Olfactory comfort
Excessively strong or distinct odors can disrupt physical and psychological comfort, and even trigger eye, nose and throat irritation, nausea and headaches. Limiting these odors is a simple strategy that can greatly contribute to occupant comfort and well-being.
This feature supports building policies that discourage strong smells from chemicals and fragrances, striving to keep interior environments odorless.
