ABSTRACT
Ventilation performance plays a significant role in distributing contaminants and airborne infections indoors. Thus, poorly ventilated public spaces may be at high risk due to the presence of both infectious and susceptible people. Adapting HVAC ventilation systems to mitigate virus transmission requires considering ventilation rate, airflow patterns, air balancing, occupancy, and feature placement. The study aims to identify poorly ventilated spaces where airborne transmission of pathogens such as SARS-CoV-2 could be critical. This study is focused on evaluating the ventilation performance of the building stock and the safety of using the facilities based on measured indoor CO2. The results revealed the spaces with the potential risk of indoor airborne transmission of COVID-19. The study proposes recommendations for utilising air ventilation systems in different use cases. © 2022 17th International Conference on Indoor Air Quality and Climate, INDOOR AIR 2022.
