A cross-sectional study of the risk factors of upper respiratory symptoms has been carried out in September 1987 among the 220 employees of the Dax General Hospital. The study was not able to prove that air conditioning contributed to the occurrence of this symptomatology, but showed that smoking was associated with the disease. Prevalence of symptoms was 34% among the employees who were smokers (32% of the personnel) and only 19% among the non-smokers (p less than 0.025). In the context of the national campaign against smoking, reducing the tobacco consumption at work in buildings with air conditioning systems is likely to decrease substantially the frequency of building sickness among the personnel. This recommendation seems particularly relevant to hospital settings.
1987年9月，对达克斯综合医院的220名员工进行了一项关于上呼吸道症状危险因素的横断面研究。该研究未能证明空调会导致这种症状的出现，但表明吸烟与该病有关。吸烟者（占员工总数的32%）中症状的患病率为34%，而非吸烟者中仅为19%（p小于0.025）。在全国戒烟运动的背景下，在装有空调系统的建筑物内减少工作场所的烟草消费，可能会大幅降低员工中建筑物病的发生频率。这一建议在医院环境中似乎尤为重要。
