Awbi H.B. (Ed.) Ventilation Systems: Design and Performance

Taylor & Francis, 2008. XII, 445 p. — ISBN13: 978-0-419-21700-8 (hardback: alk. paper)Properly designed ventilation for cooling, heating and cleaning the outdoor air supplied to buildings are essential for maintaining good indoor quality as well as for reducing a building’s energy consumption. Modern developments in ventilation science need to be well understood and effectively applied to ensure that buildings are ventilated as efficiently as possible.
This comprehensive reference guide to ventilation systems provides up-to-date knowledge based on the experience of internationally-recognised experts to deal with current and future ventilation requirements in buildings. Presenting the most recent developments in ventilation research and its applications, this book covers the fundamentals as well as more advanced topics.
