| Abstract |
General ventilation or dilution ventilation is a term used to define the flow of air into and out of a working area, so that possible contaminants are diluted by adding fresh air. This can be provided by natural ventilation or forced (or mechanical) ventilation. Aimed at employers, this booklet covers the principles of natural ventilation, the conditions in which general ventilation is applicable, the criteria that need to be taken into consideration when selecting the rate of air renewal as well as methods enabling the evaluation of the efficiency of the ventilation system. It also includes the regulations applicable to this area. |
