Publication Summary
Airflow, contaminant concentration and temperature distribution in a two-bed hospital ward represented by simple model room with inlet and outlet vents, have been studied. Our work is concerned with the development and implementation of a practical and robust response surface based multi-objective optimization (MOP) scheme, with the aim of assisting hospital ward designers and managers /operators to enhance infection control (i.e. reduce the risk of airborne transmission) without compromising patient comfort and environmental impact.
