Indoor inhalation exposure can be minimized through mechanical ventilation. On the other hand, building and mechanical ventilation design remain as the main sources of energy consumption. The present study focuses on the optimization of a displacement-ventilated room by applying computational fluid dynamics, virtual manikins and a genetic algorithm in order to minimize airborne viral density while reducing the energy consumption level.
