Abstrakt		In recent three years, employees in the bussines building in Ljubljana have expressed their concernes about indoor air quality and discomfort related to their work environment. A systematic study was undertaken to assess the nature and spatial distribution of employee health and comfort concerns and to attempt to identify associations between employee responses and workplace conditions. First step of the study was an employee survey. The most commonly reported work-related symptoms among employees were: sore eyes, dry eyes, stuffy nose, sneezing, sleepiness or drowsiness, dry skin, headache, sore and dry throat. Second step of the study was an environmental monitoring. Environmental parameters were monitored at chosen sites (temperature, relative humidity, dust levels, noise and concentrations of volatile organic compunds). Dust levels and noise were higher than it is recommended, relative humidity was extremely low. The most important findings were: the ventilation system was unsuitable, the windows were untightly, the carpets on the foor were the reason for high levels of dust in the air. The restoration of the building is already in progress.
