Abstract

COVID-19 guideline is expected to be part of the 'new norms' for workplace. However, regarding COVID-19 Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) issued by Ministry of Health Malaysia, there is inadequate concentration on Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) parameters even it has been proven in various research that COVID-19 transmission spread actively in indoor environment and green elements could mitigate the virus transmission. Therefore, this study aims to enhance existing COVID-19 SOP by discovering sustainable COVID-19 framework for office building. Sets of questionnaires is distributed among employees at Menara Majlis Bandaraya Johor Bahru, Malaysia and analysed using Frequency Analysis and Cross Tabulation Analysis. Overall, result shows that EQ7 Air Change Effectiveness is the most important IEQ parameters that can be selected to improve the current COVID-19 SOP. This study is significant for building manager in workplace to enhance their current SOP by adding green elements which is IEQ parameters to reduce COVID-19 spread in workplace.

基于室内环境质量要素的新冠肺炎办公建筑标准作业流程改进

2019冠状病毒病指南有望成为工作场所“新规范”的一部分。然而，在马来西亚卫生部颁布的COVID-19标准操作程序(SOP)中，尽管各种研究证明COVID-19在室内环境中传播活跃，绿色元素可以减轻病毒的传播，但对室内环境质量(IEQ)参数的重视程度不够。因此，本研究旨在通过探索可持续的办公楼COVID-19框架来完善现有的COVID-19 SOP。在马来西亚新山Menara Majlis Bandaraya Johor Bahru的员工中分发了几套问卷，并使用频率分析和交叉表分析进行分析。综上所述，EQ7换气效率是当前COVID-19 SOP中可选择的最重要的IEQ参数。本研究对工作场所的建筑管理者通过添加绿色元素(IEQ参数)来改进其现行SOP具有重要意义，以减少COVID-19在工作场所的传播。
