Luftveränderung

Luftveränderung is a German term that translates to "air change" or "air alteration." It refers to any modification or change in the composition, temperature, humidity, or movement of air within a given space. This concept is broadly applicable across various fields, including meteorology, ventilation, and indoor air quality.

In meteorology, Luftveränderung describes the natural processes that alter atmospheric conditions, such as shifts in wind patterns, changes in air pressure, or the mixing of different air masses. These changes can lead to variations in weather patterns and climate.

Within buildings and enclosed environments, Luftveränderung is primarily associated with ventilation systems. These systems are designed to control and manage the air within a space, introducing fresh air and removing stale or contaminated air. Proper Luftveränderung is crucial for maintaining a healthy and comfortable indoor environment, removing pollutants, controlling humidity, and regulating temperature. Poor Luftveränderung can contribute to sick building syndrome and other health issues. The rate of air change is often measured in air changes per hour (ACH).
