2.3.3

Is the ventilation need calculated as the sum of the following:

  1. air flow requirements for personnel,
  2. emissions from materials and
  3. emissions from work or process?

Pollution from personnel calls for an air flow rate of 7 - 10 l/s per person.

Emissions from normal building materials without strong odour calls for an air flow rate of 2 l/s per m2.

Extra airflow should be added for e.g. heat generating equipment.

Balanced ventilation is required and displacement ventilation is preferred to dilution ventilation.
