10 ways modern buildings make you sick and 10 simple design fixes that work

Modern buildings can look sleek and still feel like something is always a little off in the background. Sometimes it is obvious, like headaches in a windowless office, and sometimes it is the slow grind of bad sleep and constant low-grade stress. Building science has gotten better at identifying the culprits, from indoor air pollution to noise to moisture, and public health agencies have been blunt that indoor environments matter because most people spend most of their time inside. The good news is that many fixes are not exotic, and they show up in credible guidance from groups like the EPA and the CDC, plus widely used standards that architects and engineers already know. Here are 10 common ways buildings can make people feel worse, and 10 practical design fixes that tend to work.

Small health decisions that barely register in daily life suddenly show up in your mood, your digestion, your skin, and your stamina, usually at the least convenient moment. Here are 20 health decisions you tend to notice only when you’re traveling.
