Venatsioon

Venatsioon is a term primarily used in the context of ventilation systems, referring to the process of introducing fresh air into a building or enclosed space. This process is crucial for maintaining indoor air quality by diluting and removing pollutants, moisture, and odors. In mechanical ventilation systems, venilation is often achieved through the use of fans that draw in outdoor air and distribute it throughout the building, typically after it has been filtered and sometimes heated or cooled. Natural venilation, on the other hand, relies on pressure differences and wind to drive air movement through openings like windows and vents. The rate at which venilation occurs is measured in air changes per hour (ACH) or in volumetric flow rates, such as cubic feet per minute (CFM) or liters per second (L/s). Proper venilation is essential for the health and comfort of occupants, as well as for the preservation of the building structure by controlling humidity levels. It plays a significant role in preventing the buildup of carbon dioxide, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other airborne contaminants.
