Design characteristics on the indoor and outdoor air environments of the COVID-19 emergency hospital

According to the discussion of the design method and operational effect for Wuhan Huoshenshan Hospital, this paper summarized the design control points of indoor and outdoor environment of COVID-19 emergency hospital. Based on the design of Wuhan Huoshenshan Hospital, this paper analyzed and discussed the site design, building layout, three-zones and two-passages, the design scheme of the ventilation and air conditioning system for negative pressure ward and negative pressure isolation ward, air distribution, as well as some other key designs for COVID-19 emergency hospital. The design points were summarized and refined. The design methods and technology requirements of the COVID-19 emergency hospital were provided in this study, such as ventilation and air conditioning system setting, ventilation quantity of wards, pressure gradient control measures among different areas, upper and lower air distribution, filter setting mode and distance of air inlet and outlet, which could benefit to provide references for the design of similar projects in the future.
