Abstract

This paper aims to investigate the wind flow in a building that has been built and equipped with a Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system. With the number of COVID-19 cases still increasing every day, society and the environment must adapt to conditions that require high awareness of everyone's health. Based on previous research, it is proven that the possibility of airborne dispersal is higher in a full room, such as a classroom. One of the important health protocols is to emphasize good ventilation so that indoor air circulation can run perfectly. The notion of the passive design itself refers to the architectural design strategies used by designers to develop designs based on environmental conditions. The concept used to achieve passive design is to increase the comfort of building users. Observations were made on the 5th floor of the i-CELL building, an integrated engineering laboratory building in Universitas Indonesia, as a typical floor sample in a building to obtain data on the existing state of the building. Observations were made by measuring existing data and then simulating the recommendations for passive cooling optimization as a design intervention. As a result of this study, the recommendation to use sun shading to direct the wind into the building could potentially cause an increase of indoor airflow.
