The quality of the environment within buildings is a topic of major importance for public health. The aim of the journal is to provide a location for reporting original research results in the broad area defined by the indoor environment of non-industrial buildings. The journal will have an international focus with multidisciplinary content. The papers will reflect the broad categories of interest in this field: health effects thermal comfort monitoring and modeling source characterization ventilation and other environmental control techniques. The research results will provide the basic information to allow designers building owners and operators to provide a healthy and comfortable environment for building occupants as well as providing medical practitioners information on how to deal with illnesses related to the indoor environment.
　　建筑物内环境质量是公共卫生的重要课题。该杂志的目的是为非工业建筑室内环境定义的广阔区域提供一个报告原始研究结果的位置。该杂志将以多学科内容为国际焦点。论文将反映这一领域的广泛兴趣类别：健康影响热舒适性监测和模拟源特征通风和其他环境控制技术。研究结果将为建筑设计者、业主和经营者提供一个健康、舒适的居住环境提供基础资料，也为医生提供如何处理与室内环境有关的疾病的信息。
