Natural Ventilation Optimization Study in Mechanically Ventilated Studio Apartment Room in Surabaya

After Covid-19, residential has become the main space for every activity, including work, education, and leisure. Therefore, comfort in residential space is crucial to the occupant. As researchers have found traces, that the virus is airborne, the air quality in the residence must be highlighted, es...
