Ventilation is used to control indoor air quality for maintaining the health and
performance of human and ensuring healthy environment. It is known that the
environmental criteria are dictated by temperature, humidity, and
contamination. In a case study at XY company, questionnaires were distributed
to the workers and interviews were conducted to find out the level of satisfaction
on working conditions in certain areas. 70% respondents reported feeling
uncomfortable because of heat, dust and hot environment. An analysis of
indoor air quality was carried out to measure the temperature at pouring area.
Based on the analysis, the range of temperatures is from 35°C to 43°C. A local
exhaust ventilation (LEV) system was design for improve indoor air quality and
reduce extreme heat. The LEV system was proposed for the pouring area to
capture then discharged heat or contaminants through a series of strategically
placed overhead ducts.
