NATURAL CROSS VENTILATION CLASSROOMS: CO2 AND PROTECTION AGAINST PANDEMICS

Abstract

La ventilación natural cruzada es considerada una estrategia efectiva y sostenible frente a pandemias respiratorias en espacios confinados. La entrada de aire en un aula, a través de puertas y ventanas, mejora la calidad del aire interior (Indoor Air Quality - IAQ), disminuye la transmisión de enfermedades respiratorias con una distancia social adecuada (1.5 m), siendo accesible en términos de consumo energético. En este estudio se realiza una comparación entre tipos de ventilación cruzada, a partir de la concentración de CO2, número de personas y superficies de ventilación de ventanas y puertas de un centro universitario en un clima mediterráneo. Se midieron los niveles de CO2 en dos aulas similares y anexas, con diferentes aperturas de ventanas y puertas (0%, 33% y 66%) con 2 secuencias de carga y descarga. Se analizaron dos tipos de ventilación cruzada: ventilación cruzada con ventana y puerta en la misma dirección o directa (CDIR), y ventilación cruzada en diagonal (CDIA), en un período de tiempo de 3 h. en diciembre de 2022. Los resultados muestran una interacción entre los niveles de CO2 y el tipo de ventilación. La ventilación cruzada diagonal fue más efectiva en términos de renovaciones de aire (ACH) que la directa, en rangos de apertura menores (33%), siendo la ventilación cruzada directa más efectiva globalmente y en rangos de apertura mayores (66%), en las condiciones de este estudio de caso.
