A practical approach for preventing dispersion of infection disease in naturally ventilated room.

ABSTRACT: During the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic period, the airborne transmission of viruses has raised widespread concern as daily activities are resumed in public buildings. It is essential to develop mitigation strategies of infection disease transmission (e.g., increase of ventilation rate) in different scenarios to reduce the infection risk. For classrooms in schools, natural ventilation is generally used to provide outdoor air into rooms. However, the supply air volume depends strongly on the local conditions, e.g., window opening size and outdoor wind speed. In this study, the optimal design of classroom window openings is investigated, based on which low-cost window-integrated fans are then employed to enhance the efficiency of natural ventilation and infection disease control.
