We are pleased to share the materials presented during the workshop “Human-Centric Indoor Climate for Healthcare Facilities”, held as part of the Indoor Air 2026 conference. The presentations explore infection risks, ventilation strategies, airflow analysis, environmental conditions in operating rooms, and the influence of human activity on airborne pathogen dispersion in healthcare environments.
Vasco de Vasconcelos: Safety inside the Operating Room – an overview of the factors influencing a Healthy Surgical Microenvironment (poster, extended abstract, presentation)
Kunal Bairwa: Characterisation of airflow structures in the surgical microenvironment of operating rooms using Particle Image Velocimetry: Effects of ventilation strategy and extract position (paper, presentation – coming soon)
Jixuan Bao: Infection Risk between Patients and Healthcare Staff with Mixing and Attachment Ventilation Systems in a Double-bed Patient Room (paper, presentation)
Fang Hou: Quantitative assessment of key factors on infection risk in operating rooms: Door-related factors (poster, paper, presentation – coming soon)
Jiyeong Jung: Human Activities and Airborne Pathogen Dispersion in Healthcare Settings: A Rapid Review of Experimental and Modelling Evidence (paper, presentation – coming soon)
