To effectively reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2, it is crucial to highlight the effectiveness of building design strategies in mitigating threats to occupants. The ongoing pandemic research and actions focus on how poor Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) amplifies the effects of airborne viruses. This review aims to draw architects’ attention toward the high risk of airborne transmission of diseases by providing the latest updates and solutions to understand better the environmental and health issues associated with COVID-19. Based on the complexity of the problem and the need for interdisciplinary research, this study presents a conceptual model that addresses the integration of engineering controls, design strategies and, air disinfection techniques required to achieve a better IAQ.

为了有效减少 SARS-CoV-2 的传播，强调建筑设计策略在减轻对居住者的威胁方面的有效性至关重要。正在进行的流行病研究和行动重点关注不良的室内空气质量 (IAQ) 如何放大空气传播病毒的影响。本次审查旨在通过提供最新的更新和解决方案，以更好地了解与 COVID-19 相关的环境和健康问题，从而引起建筑师对空气传播疾病的高风险的关注。基于问题的复杂性和跨学科研究的需要，本研究提出了一个概念模型，解决了实现更好的 IAQ 所需的工程控制、设计策略和空气消毒技术的整合。
