Abstract
People spend a lot of time in the workplace, where indoor environmental quality in the room provides the quality of health and comfort. Indoor environmental quality must be supported by a good air system to keep the air in the room healthy and clean. People who work in closed spaces have a greater risk of being exposed to the Covid 19 virus. This research will create a workplace design concept based on an analysis of indoor environmental quality from green building councils in several countries to prevent coronavirus transmission. This research uses qualitative methods with data collection through observation and interviews. The samples were divided into two groups, namely workplace with a centralized air conditioning system and a split air conditioning system. Indoor environmental quality consists of ventilation, air quality, thermal comfort, health protection, and passive design. The results of the analysis show that the workplace with a centralized air conditioning system does not utilize ventilation optimally, maintains air quality using a mechanical air filter that is integrated with the HVAC system, centralized thermal comfort, and has implemented health protection. Workplaces with split air conditioning system maximize ventilation and have indoor air quality management. Occupants can control thermal comfort and implement health protection.
Highlights
A Green building is a building that implements energy efficiency and conservation, building environment management, water conservation, indoor health and comfort, appropriate site development, and material resources and cycle [1]
Analysis of the Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) application in workplaces is divided into two groups, namely workplace that use centralized air conditioning systems and split air conditioning systems
Workplaces with centralized air conditioning systems do not take full advantage of ventilation as natural lighting and make little effort to bring in fresh air from outside
Summary
A Green building is a building that implements energy efficiency and conservation, building environment management, water conservation, indoor health and comfort, appropriate site development, and material resources and cycle [1]. Green buildings contribute to the sustainability of cities and are related to the quality of urban life [2]. Several buildings in Indonesia have implemented the green concept to provide comfort for users, preserve the environment and minimize building operational costs [3]. Green building strategies can be achieved if supported by users and building owners to reduce environmental impacts [4]. A sustainable environment can help improve the quality of urban life. The implementation of green behavior must be supported by residents and managers as policymakers [5]
