| dc.description.abstract | Indoor air quality (IAQ) is a critical aspect of healthcare facilities, affecting
the health and well-being of patients and staff. This study focuses on Puskesmas
Gondomanan in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, which faces significant IAQ challenges due to the
region's tropical climate and prevalent air pollution. Despite some improvements in
outdoor air quality, indoor pollutant levels can be substantially higher, posing health risks,
particularly to vulnerable populations. This research aims to assess the effectiveness of
IAQ improvement strategies, including ventilation optimization, air purification, and
building modifications, using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and
building performance modeling. The study evaluates whether the current IAQ control
measures at Puskesmas Gondomanan meet the minimum standards for health facilities
and identifies the most effective strategies for enhancing indoor environmental quality.
The findings from this research are intended to inform policymakers, healthcare
administrators, and building professionals in implementing measures to create healthier
indoor environments and improve the quality of care in Puskesmas facilities | en_US |
