In this pandemic situation, healthy indoor air quality is needed. To ensure that, an assessment needs to look at the efficiency of ventilation in providing clean air into the room. This research aims to evaluate the natural ventilation of carbon dioxide concentrations in healthcare facilities, especially in this pandemic situation. The research method used a quantitative-descriptive approach by measuring the field assessment with the instrument needed. This research investigated a waiting room of Mangkang public health center, Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia, according to the Health Ministry Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia, Indonesian National Standard, and ANSI/ASHRAE/ASHE. The result shows that air change per hour (ACH) and ventilation rates (VR) have a significant relationship with carbon dioxide concentrations. The higher the ACH and VR will decrease carbon dioxide concentrations in the room. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.
