Abstract

People spend much of their lives indoors, so air quality is particularly important to their health, ability to work, and well-being. The COVID -19 pandemic has heightened people's awareness of the importance of maintaining high indoor air quality. Such an emergency has underscored the need for adequate heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems that can provide a good indoor air quality, especially ventilation systems as important players in preventing and reducing the risk of airborne infections. In this paper, we review natural and mechanical ventilation and their roles in dealing with coronavirus, focusing on key factors for healthy indoor air. Two pillars are critical for ventilation: increased air exchange rate and air filtration in ventilation systems.
