Pre-diabetes prevention center requires a holistic approach that promotes physical and mental well-being while addressing environmental sustainability. Cross ventilation emerges as a key strategy, leveraging airflow to maintain optimal indoor air quality, thermal comfort, and reduced energy consumption. Poor ventilation and stagnant air can lead to stress, discomfort, and reduced physical activity levels, all of which are risk factors for prediabetes. By incorporating passive design elements such as stack ventilation and strategically placed courtyards, a prediabetes prevention center can create a refreshing and health-focused environment conducive to relaxation and physical activity. Additionally, cross ventilation fosters biophilic connections by enabling fresh air circulation and integration with outdoor spaces, further promoting occupant well-being. This study explores how natural ventilation principles can be applied to improve the functionality and effectiveness of prediabetes prevention centers while aligning with sustainable architectural practices.
