Building and Process Parameters that Influence the Ventilation System

3 Building and Process Parameters that Influence the Ventilation System 

There are many different types of equipment that are not ditectly connected to the process. One example is elevators, which can influence the ventilation system both when moving and when standing. In addition to the need for ventilation of the elevator, elevator shaft, and machine room, the moving elevator can induce airflows that change the air distribution and airflows in different parts of the building. 

The influence of the building on the ventilation system, and indirectly on the target levels, can take many forms. There are, e.g., emissions from the materials that demand increased airflow rates and also door and window open- 

BUILDING CONSTRUCTION, EQUIPMENT. PROCESSES, AND TYPE OF PRODUCTION PREMISES 

The emissions of gases and vapors (and particles) from surfaces (both building materials and equipment) are easy to define in theory but can be very difficult to quantify in practice. There are many contaminants that can be gen erated, which makes it necessary to define the levels for a few, which are to be cho.sen from data from suppliers or from contaminants known to be generated by used materials.
