The cat cafe is part of a new business strategy that has concerned the sanity
issue, especially in indoor air quality. This study aims to simulate the flow of the indoor air
environments including the airflow, apertures, and particles of Pet Saga and D’Meow Cat
Cafe at Yogyakarta. The method of the study was through direct observation using a TVOC
meter for PM 2.5, CFD simulation to assess the indoor airflow in 3 conditions of air velocity,
and Air Changes per Hour calculation to assess the quality of the indoor air able to
maintain the air sanitation. The results from this study show that the airflow movement
inside the room depends a lot on the size of the apertures that existed along with the air
velocity in the area which then has the possibility to affect the number of air micro particles although based on the result of the calculation for the Air Changes per Hour, both
of the cat cafes have surpassed the standard of air changes in restaurant according to the
Indonesia National Standard for ventilation.
