N2 - Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) occurs due to poor design of buildings. The environment of the building, which is in operation, and the sustenance of the human body are closely related to one another. A building that is designed without focusing on temperature, humidity, airflow, and lighting can lead to sick building syndrome in employees who work in the building (Sick building syndrome, 2011; Anderson, 1990). Convenient use of air conditioning often makes the building manager forget about proper maintenance of air conditioners (AC) and assumes that indoor air from air conditioners is always clean and healthy (Anderson, 1990). Improper AC treatment is likely to spread viruses and bacteria.3 This study compares the epidemiology of SBS in Indonesia and Singapore as a developing country and developed country, respectively, in the ASEAN region. The results recorded indicated that the law is not sufficient to suppress the incidence rate of SBS in both countries.
