ilmanvaihtukeskusta

Ilmanvaihtokonekeskus, often referred to as IV-konehuone or simply konehuone, is a central location in a building where the primary air handling unit (AHU) is housed. This unit is responsible for conditioning, circulating, and filtering the air within a building, playing a crucial role in maintaining indoor air quality and thermal comfort. The ilmanvaihtokonekeskus typically contains various components necessary for the operation of the AHU, including filters for removing dust and pollutants, heating and cooling coils for temperature control, fans for air circulation, and dampers for regulating airflow. It may also house humidifiers and dehumidifiers depending on the building's specific requirements.

The location of the ilmanvaihtokonekeskus is strategically chosen to facilitate efficient distribution of conditioned air to all parts of the building. Common placements include basements, attics, or dedicated technical rooms. Proper maintenance and access to the ilmanvaihtokonekeskus are essential for ensuring the optimal performance of the ventilation system. Regular cleaning of filters, inspection of components, and calibration of controls are vital tasks performed in this area. The design and capacity of the ilmanvaihtokonekeskus are tailored to the size and intended use of the building, ensuring adequate ventilation rates are met for occupant health and comfort.
