Building material engineering for Coronavirus (COVID-19) prevention with thermal ambient in a 2-storey residential

The Corona Virus Disease 2019 pandemic is an event of the spread of the corona virus around the world. LIPI researchers stated that air temperature and humidity can affect the spread of the corona virus. Coronavirus resistance decreases in hot air temperatures and high humidity. Based on the problem of hot air temperature and high humidity that can retard the spread of the corona virus, a study was carried out on the effect of the material on the thermal conditions of buildings to reduce the spread of the corona virus. Thermal measurements are carried out on a 2-story residential house. The research objective was to determine the thermal condition of the 2-story residential material which can reduce the spread of the corona virus. The research method is quantitative research method with experimental approach. The quantitative research method with an experimental approach is to measure air temperature and humidity on several materials of a 2-storey residential house using ecotect software. The results of the research are ceramic floor materials, brick walls, glass openings, gypsum ceilings and ceramic tile roofs have thermal conditions that can reduce the spread of the corona virus in a 2-story residential house.
