The abstract should summarize the contents of the paper in short terms, i.e. 150–250 words. The study aimed to improve indoor air quality in academic environments by developing and evaluating a room ventilator prototype equipped with a High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter. The project focused on Room OZ 101B at Adamson University, where poor ventilation was found to contribute to elevated levels of airborne pollutants. Using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) through SolidWorks Flow Simulation 2023, airflow patterns were analyzed to optimize the design. After fabrication, the prototype was tested under real classroom conditions. Air quality was assessed by measuring particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) before and after prototype operation. Results showed a significant reduction in airborne particles, indicating improved indoor air quality and more effective air circulation. The study concludes that integrating HEPA-based ventilation systems in classrooms is a practical and cost-efficient solution to reduce pollutant exposure and promote healthier learning environments. Further research is recommended to explore broader applications and long-term performance in varied academic settings.

摘要

The abstract should summarize the contents of the paper in short terms, i.e. 150–250 words. The study aimed to improve indoor air quality in academic environments by developing and evaluating a room ventilator prototype equipped with a High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter. The project focused on Room OZ 101B at Adamson University, where poor ventilation was found to contribute to elevated levels of airborne pollutants. Using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) through SolidWorks Flow Simulation 2023, airflow patterns were analyzed to optimize the design. After fabrication, the prototype was tested under real classroom conditions. Air quality was assessed by measuring particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) before and after prototype operation. Results showed a significant reduction in airborne particles, indicating improved indoor air quality and more effective air circulation. The study concludes that integrating HEPA-based ventilation systems in classrooms is a practical and cost-efficient solution to reduce pollutant exposure and promote healthier learning environments.
