It is necessary to characterise air-conditioning airflow in omanuscriprder to optimize hospital Indoor Environment Quality in high-performance operating theatres, and also reduce the risk of nosocomial infection due to pathogen contamination. The aim of this article is to study the prevalence of optimal healthy conditions from controlled air flow quality in hospital facilities, and to minimize energy consumption. To this purpose, the indoor air movement was modelled by Computational Fluid Dynamics technology. The optimal results showed that it is necessary to drive ultra-clean air ranging between 0.25 m/s and 0.40 m/s, values which are adequate to perform efficient sweeping and cleaning of the air near the patient, maintaining unidirectional air flow permanently as the air passes through the surgical field. These speeds must be taken into account as calculation parameters in new hospital facility projects, and as control parameters for the existing operating theatres.

This study aims to find a model for increasing the lecturers work loyalty of private university by using Structural Equation Modeling. The research sample was 150 lecturers of five private universities in Banda Aceh. The questionnaire is the main instrument for data collection. Furthermore, the data were analyzed using a structural equation model (SEM) operationalized with AMOS 21. The study revealed that lecturer work loyalty was positively and significantly affected by job satisfaction and their assessment of rewards and work environment. Therefore, an increase in lecturer work loyalty can be done through university foundation policy intervention in increasing rewards and improving the work environment quality of the university.

An office is a center of operations where various activities take place, depending on the business conducted. Office conditions determine the credibility and synergy of business entity, as well as the officers' performance and productivity. This study formulates an interior design concept based on the Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE), with Mixed Methods Research (MMR) approach, which emphasizes the empirical meaning based on relevant field data. The research object is the Haleyora Powerindo (HPI) office building in Jakarta. MMR approach ensures the significance level of the work environment quality in the room and the workplace, as well as the officers' performance. The first step was analyzing the spatial conditions in the field based on standardization, which was conducted according to the satisfaction survey of officers. The results show that the work environment quality is high and responds positively. According to the workplace quality, satisfaction is mainly related to workspace area and quality, comfort and style of furniture, circulation, and accessibility to the work table, effectiveness and efficiency of workplace layout, ICT implementation, and HVAC and maintenance. Social space and entertainment facilities provide flexibility in interacting between officers of different divisions that were not in the previous office. Based on the results of multiple regression calculations, the in-door environment (IEQ) and the officer workspace (WQ) quality have a significant effect on officer performance (OP). These are 3 main factors critical in conducting systematic evaluations to obtain results from office space design. This study is expected to be a strategic reference for planning and designing a similar spatial atmosphere in different locations or cases
