1. A capsule pod sleeping chamber, comprising: (11) (4)

a portable enclosure having a ceiling and a plurality of walls adjacent to the ceiling that, but for a first aperture and a second aperture, substantially hermetically seals an interior space defined by the portable enclosure so as to prevent a mixture of air between the interior space and a communal space exterior to and adjacent to the portable enclosure;

a first duct to route supply air into the interior space from a first area that is separated from the communal space so as not to contaminate the supply air with air of the communal space;

a second duct to route exhaust air out from the interior space to a second area separated from the communal space so as not to contaminate the air of communal space with the exhaust air of the capsule pod sleeping chamber; and

a plurality of apertures located in at least one wall of the plurality of walls, the plurality of apertures including: the first aperture opening into the first duct; and

the second aperture opening into the second duct.

2. The capsule pod sleeping chamber of claim 1, wherein the first duct is configured to align and connect with a supply air duct of an additional capsule pod sleeping chamber positioned adjacent to the capsule pod sleeping chamber. (0)

3. The capsule pod sleeping chamber of claim 1, wherein the second duct is configured to align with an exhaust air duct of an additional capsule pod sleeping chamber positioned adjacent to the capsule pod sleeping chamber. (0)

4. The capsule pod sleeping chamber of claim 1, wherein the plurality of walls are dimensioned so as to accommodate a standard twin bed. (0)

5. The capsule pod sleeping chamber of claim 1, wherein the first area or second area is an air purifier unit that is coupled to the first or second duct. (0)

6. The capsule pod sleeping chamber of claim 1, wherein the first area or second area is an area physically remote from the communal space. (0)

7. The capsule pod sleeping chamber of claim 1, wherein the first duct includes an ultraviolet light to disinfect the supply air. (0)

8. The capsule pod sleeping chamber of claim 1, wherein the first duct includes high-efficiency particulate air filter to remove particles from the supply air. (0)

9. The capsule pod sleeping chamber of claim 1, wherein a wall of the plurality of walls further includes electrical conduit configured to align and connect with other electrical conduit of an additional capsule pod sleeping chamber positioned adjacent to the capsule pod sleeping chamber. (0)

10. The capsule pod sleeping chamber of claim 1, wherein the plurality of walls are at least partially composed of anti-microbial material. (0)

11. The capsule pod sleeping chamber of claim 1, further comprising an entrance to an interior of the portable enclosure located in at least one wall of the plurality of walls, the entrance configured to allow ingress from and egress to the communal space. (2) (0)

14. The capsule pod sleeping chamber of claim 1, further comprising a third duct to route contaminated air of the communal space to the second area so as not to contaminate air within the portable enclosure with the contaminated air. (1) (0)

16. A method of clean air circulation for a capsule pod sleeping chamber located in a communal space, comprising: (4) (3)

substantially hermetically sealing, from the communal space, an interior space defined by the capsule pod sleeping chamber;

supplying, from a first area separate from the communal space via a first duct in the capsule pod sleeping chamber, first air in fluid communication with the interior space so as not to mix the first air with second air from the communal space; and

exhausting, to a second area separate from the communal space via a second duct in the capsule pod sleeping chamber, the first air in the fluid communication so as not to mix the second air with the first air.

17. The method of claim 16, further comprising forcing the first air in the first duct through a high-efficiency particulate air filter. (0)

18. The method of claim 16, further comprising: (0) (2)

19. The method of claim 16, further comprising exhausting, to the second area separate via a third duct in the capsule pod sleeping chamber, the second air. (0)

20. The method of claim 16, further comprising removing, via an air purifier unit, contaminants from the first air received via the second duct. (0)
