Abstract
Indoor Air Quality became high-priority after the occurrence of a pandemic COVID-19. Indoor space is used as a place for human activities. In educational areas such as campus, the activities of users are spent more indoors. A room must be able to provide good performance to maximize student learning outcomes by considering aspects of air temperature, humidity, lighting and noise. Some of these aspects are included in the criteria for indoor health and comfort. Pontianak State Polytechnic^s efforts to become a green campus can use the GREENSHIP Rating Tools assessment. GREENSHIP Rating Tools for Existing Building has 6 criteria, one of which is indoor health and comfort. This study selected 6 rooms for measuring IHC criteria in the Architectural Engineering Department Building, namely the lobby area, lecturer room, studio 1 room, multimedia room, workshop room, and computer laboratory 4 room. Based on the results of the assessment, this building received a score of 12 out of a total of 20 or a percentage of 60%. It is necessary to improve the quality of IHC in these spaces to meet the target score. Quality improvement is carried out with the following strategies: 1) air quality control based on SNI 03-6572-2001, 2) adjusting the room^s thermal conditions, 3) increasing the lighting level in the room, 4) minimizing the noise level in the room. This strategy is expected to not only improve the quality of indoor health and comfort but also suppress the spread of COVID-19.
