The amount of ventilation depends on:
For most non-domestic applications the minimum required ventilation rate is 10L/s per person.
- occupant density
- occupant activities
- pollutant emissions within a space
For most non-domestic applications the minimum required ventilation rate is 10L/s per person.
It is necessary to calculate ventilation and infiltration rates for the following purposes:
- to ensure that ventilation is adequate to meet occupancy or other ventilation requirements
- to determine the thermal losses or gains arising from air change in order to perform heating and cooling load calculations
- to assess the potential for using ventilation to assist in the passive cooling of a building (CIBSE, 2006. p.4-4)
