将暖通空调系统的设计纳入建筑物的全生命周期使用。说明有计划的预防性维护可以将系统故障的风险降至最低，但必须由建筑物所有者指定。内部环境的一些故障，包括病态建筑综合症，可归因于预防性维护不足。解释说，设计师的教育和培训通常不会使他具备设计一个能够充分维护的系统的能力。建议业主采取行动。关键词:维护，建筑，病态建筑，设计师。 引用:研讨会论文，佐治亚州亚特兰大，1990年

Puts the design of HVAC systems into the context of whole life-cycle use of a building. States that planned preventive maintenance can minimise the risk of a system failure but must be specified by the building owner. Some failures of the internal environment, including sick building syndrome, can be attributed to inadequate preventive maintenance. Explains that the education and training of a designer does not generally equip him to design a system that can be maintained adequately. Proposes action for building owners.KEYWORDS: Maintenance, buildings, sick buildings, designers.
