Abstract

The Corona global pandemic, which emerged in the last quarter
of 2019, has affected the global economy, resulting in many
sectors such as energy, buildings, and industries being seriously
affected by the epidemic. Studies of COVID- 19 transmission
have indicated a direct relationship between the number of
occupants and the risk of infection. The aim of this study is to
focus on the work density strategy as one of the main overlooked
factors affecting energy consumption, the risk of transmission of
viruses within buildings, and to determine optimal works density
to reduce energy consumption in buildings, especially
educational buildings.
To this end, the application approach has been used by using the
COVE-TOOL and COVID-OCCUPANCY projects to apply the
proposed occupant density after new design considerations to one
of the classrooms and to evaluate their stays to reduce the spread
of epidemics and rationalize their energy.
