Abstract
Ventilation and Air Distribution Systems in Buildings
Highlights
The need of building occupants for ventilation has been recognized many centuries ago; since the early 1970s, ventilation systems for buildings and transport systems have considerably evolved
The proportion of ventilation energy in comparison with the total energy use in a building is expected to increase as the building fabric energy performance improves and ventilation standards recommend higher ventilation rates for improving indoor air quality (IAQ)
The aim is to provide some insight to those building professionals whose tasks are selecting ventilation systems for low energy buildings that can provide the necessary levels of IAQ for the occupants; and for the research community to continue research in this area in order to develop new ventilation concepts and deliver the desired performance
