Abstract

The term "indoor air quality" (IAQ) refers to the quality of air within a structure, with a particular focus on the well-being and comfort of the individuals occupying the building. The hospital and structure creates a significant risk as an indoor environment. In order to safeguard patients and healthcare workers from hospital-acquired infections and occupational diseases, it is imperative to give careful consideration to maintaining a good indoor air quality (IAQ) within the intricate hospital setting. The objective of this study is to propose efficacious guidelines for the regulation and administration of indoor air quality (IAQ) in hospitals. The existing literature indicates that the alteration in the location of the HVAC system's consequent has a direct impact on thermal comfort. During the observation analysis, attention was directed towards the examination of the operation and maintenance of the HVAC system, as well as the assessment of the well-being of the inhabitants
