| Abstract | Researchers have been studying the impact of the recent pandemic on the occupants of the built environment with the advancement of COVID-19. As people spend more time indoors in their day-to-day lives, and as coronavirus is airborne, several indoor air quality parameters are responsible for its spread. This paper investigates the role that poor indoor air quality plays in the spread of epidemics and looks into ventilation strategies that could improve occupant safety in indoor settings in the case of an epidemic crisis in the future. The study included a review of the literature on ventilation strategies to enhance the indoor air quality for occupant safety from COVID-19 of the 121 documents that were retrieved, 39 were found suitable and were further investigated. The study outlined several steps to prevent the pandemic from spreading in an indoor environment. Regular hygiene measures included keeping the interior environment clean, safe, and comfortable with fewer chemical and biological agents. Measures related to space design and usage included better ventilation, air filtering, and social distancing. |
