For airborne diseases, a bad strategy is existing Natural Ventilation paradigms. But a very good modification is to give each tenant within a building their own compartmentalized natural ventilation airflow. The idea is that each unit faces both the prevailing windward and leeward sides of the building. A condo so contructed would offer tenants rail boxcar-shaped units. Internal airflow from surrounding tenants would be lessened and the balconies would be located leeward. Property should be zoned based on windspeed of the site's volume as well the surface roughness footprint it has on other such properties. This model might not work for the bottom few floors near busy areas. Airflow dries out most microbes. The hope is dilute microbes downwind aren't very infectious as well as weather and cleaning crew processes dilute the downwind infectious effect, but a high density of buildings may ruin this safeguard. Other aerodynamic building surface features can be incorporated and heating and AC are needed if airflow is to be maximized.<br />Subsidizing the construction and planning here would have a powerful stimulus effect on the economy and newer building aren't as leaky to other tenants.Phillip Huggannoreply@blogger.com
