VENTILATION

Hannah Kathlyn U. Espinosa

 Is the process of “changing” or replacing
air in any space to provide indoor air
quality (control temperature, replenish
oxygen, remove moisture, odors, smoke,
heat, dust, airborne bacteria and carbon
dioxide)
VENTILATION SYSTEM
 Natural ventilation - is the flow of
outdoor air caused by wind and air
density differences
 Mechanical (forced) ventilation - is
driven by mechanical work
 Hybrid ventilation - combination of
natural and mechanical ventilation
Natural ventilation
 Natural forces drive outdoor air through
purpose-built, building envelope openings.
Purpose-built openings include windows,
doors, solar chimneys, wind towers and
trickle ventilators.
Mechanical Ventilation

 Dynamic pressure of a mechanical device.

Types of Mechanical ventilation
 A circulation system such as a ceiling fan, which creates
internal air movement, but does not introduce fresh air.

 A pressure system, in which fresh outside air is blown into

the building by inlet fans, creating a higher internal
pressure than the outside air.

 A vacuum system, in which stale internal air is extracted

from the building by an exhaust fan, creating lower
pressure inside the building than the outside air.

 A balanced system that uses both inlet and extract fans,

maintaining the internal air pressure at a similar level to
the outside air and so reducing air infiltration and draughts.

 A local exhaust system that extracts local sources

of heat or contaminants at their source, such as cooker
hoods, fume cupboards and so on.

HYBRID VENTILATION

 Controlled combination of a Natural

Ventilation and Mechanical Ventilation.
