BSME 4A VENTILATION Ventilation is the process of changing or replacing air in any space to control temperature or remove any combination of moisture, o ors, smo!e, heat, ust, airborne bacteria, or carbon io"i e, an to replenish o"ygen. Ventilation inclu es both the e"change of air #ith the outsi e as #ell as circulation of air #ithin the buil ing. $t is one of the most important factors for maintaining acceptable in oor air %uality in buil ings. Ventilation moves out oor air into a buil ing or a room, an istributes the air #ithin the buil ing or room. &he general purpose of ventilation in buil ings is to provi e healthy air for breathing by both iluting the pollutants originating in the buil ing an removing the pollutants from it. IMPORTANCE Ventilation of a room is very important because it !eeps no"ious fumes out, prevent lethal moul from gro#ing an control other common househol problems. Ventilation of a room also prevents allergies an infections passe through the air, from being transferre from one person to another. Ventilation of a room can be one by installing an effective ventilation system or by using a goo fan regularly. 'roper ventilation prevents air pollutants from affecting the health of you an your family. (ot only that, having airflo# in your home can get ri of any un#ante smells, such as from coo!ing or pets. $t is also goo to have an airflo# that is uninterrupte , as anything bloc!ing the air flo# in your home can cause amage to both your home an your health. )ne of the reasons ventilation is so important is because it controls ho# much moisture is lingering in your home. $f you have a e%uate airflo# throughout your home, your #alls, floors, an all the #oo in your home #ill stay ry an not collect moisture. *oo can rot #hen e"pose to moisture, as can ry#all. $f you let moisture buil up in these areas of your home, they #ill not only estroy the structural integrity, but they #ill also cause mol to buil up. Mol can have a number of negative effects on your health if you are e"pose to it for a long time TYPES OF VENTILLATION Natural ventilation

(atural ventilation is the use of #in an temperature ifferences to create airflo#s in an through buil ings. &here are t#o basic types of natural ventilation effects+ buoyancy an #in . Buoyancy ventilation is more commonly referre to as temperature-in uce or stac! ventilation. *in ventilation supplies air from a positive pressure through openings on the #in #ar si e of a buil ing an e"hausts air to a negative pressure on the lee#ar si e.

Airflo# rate epen s on the #in spee an irection as #ell as the si,e of openings. $n summer, the in oor-out oor temperature ifference is not high enough to rive buoyancy ventilation, an #in is use to supply as much fresh air as possible. $n #inter, ho#ever, the in oor is much #armer than out oors, provi ing an opportunity for buoyancy ventilation. Task ventilation

&ra itional ventilation systems supply a mi"ture of outsi e an re-circulate air in high velocity -ets so that the in oor air in rooms is often #ell mi"e . &his can be an inefficient metho of elivering outsi e air to an occupant. &as!-ambient con itioning .&A/0 systems are a ventilation technology #ith the potential for improve ventilation to the occupant. &A/ systems may supply air from the floor, es!, or partitions an enable occupants to a -ust the supply flo# rate, irection, or temperature so that thermal con itions can be tailore to meet the in ivi ual1s re%uirements. &as! or personali,e ventilation is a metho for provi ing occupants #ith control of a local supply of air so that they can a -ust their in ivi ual thermal environment. /ontrolle variables coul be the supply-air temperature, velocity, irection, the ratio of room air to outsi e in the supply air, an the ra iant temperature. &hese systems may provi e all or part of the con itione air to the occupie space. &as! or personali,e ventilation systems also have the potential to improve ventilation at the occupant1s breathing ,one because they can provi e supply air preferentially to#ar the breathing ,one. Supply air from these systems usually contains a high percentage of outsi e air, #hich generally oes not contain a high concentration of in oor-generate pollutants. &he air supply outlets of current tas! or personali,e ventilation systems are locate at the floor, mounte on the es!, or incorporate #ithin the #or!station partitions. Mechanical ventilation

&his system supplies the re%uire air flo# at a constant rate. Ventilation is supplie by forcing air through the ucting #ith the use of a fan. &he use of the fan ho#ever uses a lot of energy an conse%uently greater /)2emissions. H !ri" ventilation

3ybri ventilation is the mi" of natural an mechanical ventilation. $n this pro-ect there is only one aspect of mechanical ventilation, #hich contributes to the hybri one+ the fan #hich enhances the natural stac! effect if the con itions are poor.
