Redesigning space layout by considering thermal comfort and prevention of COVID-19 transmission in campus building

Abstract Lecture building is one of the important facilities in supporting success teaching and learning process. The lecture room should be thermally comfortable has a low risk disease transmission. In adapting to Covid-19 pandemic, attention prevent transmission necessary safety students lecturers while staying on campus. This study aims propose new concept design related arrangement indoor layouts that minimize crowds reducing air temperatures due exposure solar radiation east-west side building. research was conducted by observing human movement patterns measuring temperature surface façade adjacent outside environment. results obtained average range between 28.8 - 33.2 °C, with side, reaching 39.1 °C. proposed one-way access separating vertical horizontal circulation, additional corridors, rearranging layout rooms distinguish in-out contact physical users.
