Abstract

In this era of modernization, air conditioning systems are essential in our daily lives to provide comfort and good air circulation in the room. Lack of maintenance and knowledge of indoor air quality (IAQ) will cause other problems to arise. Among the examples of poor indoor air quality effects are legionella disease, building-related illness (BRI), sick building syndrome (SBS) and things that will make the residents uncomfortable any time inside the building. For this PSM project, the MIBC building is the preferred site for assessment. The project will commence from March 2018 to January 2019. There are some indoor air quality problems in MIBC that can be detected by the assessor. Among them are low air temperatures, high relative humidity and low air velocity. Based on the layout in the bowling machine maintenance room, there are only about 6 units of air conditioning on the left side of the hallway. Based on the number and lane seats, the average customer and staff estimates around 300 people at a time to enter MIBC. Experiment location is the left-hand side of the maintenance room. For solutions, indoor air quality (IAQ) assessments need to be done to identify real problems. There is an example that should be taken to perform this assessment, among the parameters taken from the data are environmental temperature, relative humidity, environmental air velocity, particulate matter (PM₁II), TVOC and carbon dioxide concentration (CO₂). Subsequently, discussions or brainstorming are needed to find a detrimental factor that can contribute to severe indoor air quality (IAQ) at MIBC. There are several tools and software to be used in this project, EVM monitoring devices, Minirae 3000 and air probe detectors. This IAQ assessment project will be held at MIBC from 11am to 8pm on two occasions. Hopefully this project will help MIBC management, employees are aware of factors that can affect the IAQ problem at MIBC and try to fix the proposed problem that it is intended to provide convenience to customers when they are in MIBC
