Abstract

Good air distribution in the building should provide comfort and health for the wearer. This can be achieved through the design of more specific architectural sections or forms with the aim of maximizing the distribution of cool air. The target of this research is the Faculty of Engineering lecture hall which located on the Khairun Campus and is a new building with 3 floors. For this new normal period, lectures have reached 100 percent of students entering the room, so supporting facilities are needed that meet the requirements of thermal comfort and health protocols. This study aims to analyze good natural ventilation during endemic times in the lecture hall. This rese arch was conducted using quantitative – qualitative descriptive methods in analyzing the data. The results showed that lecture hall have an average temperature of 31.84 °C, with dampness of 68.47 percent and wind speed of 0.12 m/s. Thing This indicates that the thermal conditions in the lecture hall does not meet the standard of thermal comfort has a temperature exceeding 27.1°C, and a dampness level of more than 70 percent and must have a wind speed of 0.2m/s –2m/s. With this condition, the lecture hall has not yet met the standards of good natural good air distribution during the pandemic and has natural air that is not good for health the wearer
