Ventilation Systems

This comprehensive account of the methods used for ventilating buildings and the type of systems currently in use for achieving the desired indoor environment will be of particular interest to graduate students, professionals and researchers.

This guideline defines ventilation and then natural ventilation. It explores the design requirements for natural ventilation in the context of infection control, describing the basic principles of design, construction, operation and maintenance for an effective natural ventilation system to control infection in health-care settings.

Portable ventilation systems provide an option for supplementing installed ventilation, as well as providing a system for ventilation where none exists. Portable Ventilation Systems Handbook discusses the various types of portable ventilation systems currently in use, their advantages and disadvantages, and what systems works best for what function.

This book addresses the prediction and control of noise and vibration in ventilation systems and their psychoacoustic effects on people. The content is based on the authors’ research and lecture material on building acoustics and provides insights into the development of prediction methods and control of noise and vibration from ventilation systems, and an assessment of their psychological effects on people. The basic principles and methods for prediction and control of noise and vibration from ventilation systems are discussed, including the latest developments on flow-generated noise prediction, assessment methods for the performance of vibration isolation, noise control using periodic Helmholtz Resonators, and holistic psychoacoustic assessment of noise from ventilation systems. The insightful book on noise and vibration in ventilation systems Extends into prediction, control, and psychoacoustic assessment methods The book suits graduate students and engineers in acoustics and noise and vibration control, as well as in building services engineering and across the built environment.
