“…Various architectural design strategies, such as wind towers, courtyards, etc., are used to control natural ventilation and are effective for improving IAQ and thermal comfort inside buildings [8] [9]. This device could decrease CO2 levels [10], decrease energy consumption [11], dilute pollutants [12], and other advantages. Studies about natural ventilation related with social and health aspect [13], various type of devices [14], indoor environment quality [15], and school environment [16], already conducted.…”

“…"Breathing Architecture" (BA) is a concept permitting buildings to breathe, bringing outdoor fresh air to achieve good IAQ and thermal comfort through natural ventilation by inducing oxygen-rich air, removing indoor pollutants, and cooling the building [12]. Several studies showed controllable natural ventilation decreases energy consumption [11], decreases CO2 levels [10], and other advantages that of it simultaneously have a similarity with the aims of breathing architecture (BA). Research on the theme of breathing architecture was first published in 2014, marking the first academic report using 'breathing architecture' terminology.…”

Indoor air quality is essential in improving indoor well-being since most people spend their time there. The breathing Architecture concept promotes a strategy for designing indoor space to maintain the indoor air quality. This concept has various challenges, such as indoor pollutants determining the indoor environment to be healthy and decent. This study aims to identify the relationship between IAQ variables related to Breathing Architecture and air pollutants based on secondary sources of past and existing research ten years ago. The review identified 16 articles collected by selecting several relevant keywords in ScienceDirect and screening the title and abstract. Content analysis was conducted to analyze the relationship between IAQ variables and pollutants and their potential association with the breathing architecture concept. The results show that air exchange rate, volume of spaces, relative humidity, and indoor-outdoor temperature are the most potential variables and have a possible relationship while implementing the BA concept. Using these variables, the optimal condition might be perceived since the possibility of lower pollutant contamination might be lower, and the purpose of breathing architecture might be obtained. However, the relationship between other variables and pollutants requires future studies since it is undescribed or may impact other variables.
