Ventilation and Energy Performance of Buildings
There are many sources of air pollutants in buildings, such as people, appliance and built materials, which cause the air in buildings to be more pollutant than in the outdoor environment. The increased content of pollutants in the indoor air can affect the well-being, work performance and even the health of the occupants. Such conditions can be avoided by dilution of pollutants with adequate ventilation of buildings, the process of the air exchange between building interior and outdoor. Buildings can be ventilated naturally due to the difference in air pressure caused by the difference in the air temperature and exposure of the buildings to the wind or forced ventilated by mechanical systems. Because ventilation of the buildings increases the energy use, the uncontrolled air exchange due to the air infiltration must be avoided as much as possible with consistent airtightness of the building envelope. In the chapter the principles of planning and the evaluation methods for indoor air quality comfort are presented. The impact of the ventilation on energy needs is explained, including the ventilation related measures for increasing of the energy efficiency of buildings.
