We measured the compartmental air change per hour (ACH) using a CO2 sensor network in an office space where a cluster of COVID-19 infections attributed to aerosol transmission occurred. Generalized linear mixed models and dynamic time warping were used for a time series data analysis, and the results indicated that the ventilation conditions were poor at the time of the cluster outbreak, and that the low ACH in the room likely contributed to the outbreak. In addition, the adverse effects of inappropriate partitions and the effectiveness of ventilation improvements were investigated in detail. ACH of less than 2 /h was considered a main contributor for the formation of the COVID-19 cluster in the studied facility.
