Principles for heating and ventilation systems

The above mentioned terms are what we use in connection with ventilation systems. Heating- and ventilation in connection with industrial buildings is different compared with, what we have been dealing with in the earlier semesters. It has been domestic buildings, where the demands for heating and ventilation normally can be found in the Building Regulations. When it is about other buildings than domestic buildings, we are referred to, that it should be approved by the local authorities in consideration of the size of the room and its use. Furthermore is referred to DS 447: Code of

    When a city expands, more houses and buildings are built to meet the demands of new residents and business that are moving into a location. In order to construct new building, heavy vehicles are needed to clear land and begin construction. These heavy vehicles emit CO2 into the atmosphere. CO2 is a greenhouse gas which is part of the greenhouse effect that causes Global Warming. The greenhouse effect is the process by which absorption and emission of infrared radiation by gases in the atmosphere warm a planet 's lower atmosphere and surface ("Global Warming", 2013). In addition, new buildings cause indoor pollutants that are released through air vents, open doors, and open windows. These pollutants include formaldehyde (H2CO) from carpet and plywood, as well as, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from paint and…

    A poor environment (e.eg. a hot, stuffy room and other people kept entering the room to use the printer. For example in a doctor and patient situation, the doctor could ensure that he opens the windows in the room before the patient comes in to prevent it from being hot and stuffy. Also they could see about changing rooms if possible to stop people from coming in to use the printer or they could move the printer into a different room and also maybe swapping the room the meeting is in into a larger room. If the doctor were to open the windows before the patient came in the room, it would allow the stuffiness to leave the room and allow fresh air to both the doctor and the patient; this may help the patient feel more comfortable rather than feeling hot and under pressure and Having a good ventilation will mean that more and more people will concentrate for the better as well as enjoying it too. All general practices, schools and hospitals should have ventilation to make the…

    Air pollution affects everything from agriculture and ecosystems to human health, on a global scale. The five major air pollutants are ground-level ozone, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide (Donnatelle, 2010). A majority of these pollutants are the result of human action. One example being coal power plants. These plants release greenhouse gas emissions and particle air pollution. The burning of the coal creates pollutant byproducts. Other forms of industrial pollution, exhaust fumes, burning wood, and several forms of indoor air pollutants result in air contamination. The combination of various air contaminates can be extremely toxic. The pollutants irritate the lungs and may even cause respiratory diseases and cancer in humans (Donnatelle, 2010).…

    Sick Building Syndrome

    • 370 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Throughout human civilization, humans have been determined to create indoor environments which get us out of the natural elements and protect us from sickness and other hazards. We have created buildings which do just this by creating building envelopes which mechanically, or less commonly naturally, take in outdoor air. Unfortunately through this practice, instead of the buildings getting us away from sickness, the buildings it seems may be causing sickness to their human occupants and lead to SBS. The symptoms of SBS are all encompassing and range from a variety of issues from fatigue and rashes to acute respiratory illnesses (1). But these symptoms all have one thing in common; the cause of the symptom is unknown and the symptoms soon relieves after leaving the facility (Indoor Air Facts No. 4 (Revised) Sick Building Syndrome, 2008). Therefore, it becomes very hard to determine whether or not it is the actual building or other factors, such as management (psychosocial factors), which are causing people to feel sick. This is largely due to the fact that these vague symptoms cannot be objectively measured and the ones being tested, such as; eyestrain, fatigue and eyestrain usually show no clinical signs of the symptoms. This means doctors are often judging these symptoms based on what the sufferer says they feel. Because of this, there is no actual clinical definition of SBS that is universally accepted and no sufficient theory for its occurrence (2). The following discussion will represent the ideas both supporting evidence that the physical aspects, such as indoor air quality (IAQ), of a facility can affect a persons potential for SBS type symptoms. Likewise, there is no direct link that has been found to prove that management issues also cause SBS-like symptoms in an office type environment (Mendell, 1993). Without having a clear explanation of the cause, it is equally difficult to implement a clear method of resolving…
