Abstract: This chapter provides a detailed analysis of the operation of mixed-mode ventilation during epidemics, concentrating on the pivotal role of indoor air quality (IAQ). It underlines the importance of ventilation in IAQ management, particularly for airborne infection control. However, our principal focus is mixed-mode ventilation, a combined approach of natural and mechanical methods, which we highlight as promising for IAQ management, airborne disease control, and also energy-saving solutions. Our examination includes multiple case studies for each diverse environment, such as educational buildings, hospitals, office buildings, and residential buildings, each evaluated through different methods, including computational fluid dynamics and experimental approaches. Our observations illustrate the significant role of efficient ventilation in improving IAQ, mitigating airborne infection risks, and enhancing occupant comfort, especially during epidemics.
