摘要：
Use of a high ventilation rate is shown to be effective for reducing cross-infection risk of airborne diseases in hospitals and isolation rooms. Natural ventilation can deliver much higher ventilation rate than mechanical ventilation in an energy-efficient manner. This paper reports a field measurement of naturally ventilated hospital wards in Hong Kong and discusses a possibility of using natural ventilation for infection control in hospital wards. The high ventilation rate provided by natural ventilation can reduce cross infection of airborne diseases, and thus it is recommended for consideration of possible use in appropriate hospital wards for infection control.
