The outcomes of the research “Designing Effective Ventilation Systems for Multi-Purpose Basement Shelters” were presented by Ms. Rasha Alkabbanie, in the Mechatronics Engineering Department on January 28th, 2021.

The research discussed ventilation systems designs for the multi-purpose basement shelters in three different scenarios: (1) in regular days when no risk is found, (2) when the building is exposed to blast attacks, and (3) when the building is exposed to chemical attacks. The research also explained the proper ventilation systems that should be installed in an efficient way to prevent the health risks of the occupants and the structural damage of the building caused by poor ventilation.

The academic staff of the Engineering Faculty attended the seminar and provided valuable feedback and comments regarding the presented content.

Rasha Alkabbanie is an Assistant Lecturer at the Mechatronics Engineering Department and the Coordinator of ISO & Accreditation at Tishk International University.
