Ventilerer

Ventilerer is a verb used in Danish and Norwegian Bokmål meaning to provide ventilation or to cause air to circulate in a space. It covers both natural ventilation, such as opening windows to exchange indoor air with outdoor air, and mechanical ventilation, which uses fans, ducts, and heat recovery units to control airflow and indoor air quality. The term is common in discussions of buildings, indoor climate, and energy efficiency, where effective ventilation balances fresh air intake with moisture and pollutant control.

In medical contexts, ventilerer can describe the act of supplying breathing support to a patient, typically with a ventilator. In this sense, phrases like "patienten ventileres" are common, and the language differentiates between active ventilation by a person or device and the ventilation of spaces. In everyday use, speakers may say "bygningen ventilerer bedre" or "vi ventilerer huset" to indicate improved air exchange by airing or by using equipment.

Conjugation and usage: Infinitive ventilere; present tense ventilerer; past tense ventilerede; past participle ventileret. The passive voice forms include "ventileret" and "ventileres" (is ventilated). Examples: "Vi ventilerer kontoret ved at åbne vinduerne." "Huset ventileres af et mekanisk anlæg." This verb thus spans contexts from architecture and HVAC to clinical care and everyday conversation about air quality.
