Abstract

In the current era of the COVID-19 pandemic, environmental conditions and available supporting facilities are crucial factors for the community. Good indoor environmental quality conditions can prevent users from sick building syndrome. Meanwhile, most human activities are carried out in the inner space. Every day 18-20 hours are spent on activities in the office, car, school, or home. Recently, researchers highlighted the potential for much higher rates of COVID-19 infection in a closed environment with recirculated air. For the current COVID-19 pandemic, closed air circulation is discouraged. Therefore, increasing ventilation or filtration is the solution to a healthy indoor environment during this COVID-19 pandemic. To prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the workplace, we keep the workplace clean and hygienic. Surfaces (such as benches and tables) and objects need to be wiped with a disinfectant periodically. Keywords: ventilation, maintenance
