HOME DOC SOFTWARE
OBI-SOFT INNOVATIONS has been formed in response to the increasing demand for better
health and safety standards for building inhabitants, due to the prevalence of several
building related illnesses. The company has been operating as a private research
company, working on various software design developments. The ObiSoft (Sick Building
Probability Measuring Software) product is designed based on the results obtained from
numerous research studies regarding the health problems experienced by inhabitants of
buildings due to Sick Building Syndrome (SBS). Building occupants sometimes experience
symptoms like sore throat, cold, headaches, respiratory symptoms/infection and allergies
which are sometimes cause by multiple factors present in the building they occupy (HSE, 2019).
This software acts as a tool for identifying and measuring the factors that encourage SBS
development in buildings. It integrates results from various tests on architectural elements,
paints and vanishes, the dimensions of the building or its orientation etc. to give an SBS
probability rating for such a building, thereby highlighting the level of SBS present or the
risk of its development. Like the smoke and carbon monoxide detector system, the ObiSoft product
system mechanics would cause an alarm to be triggered when toxic levels of specific compounds are
detected in a built space.
