What is mean by ventilation??
NATURAL VENTILATION - the process of supplying and removing air through an indoor
space without using mechanical systems. It refers to the flow of external air to an indoor space as a
result of pressure or temperature differences
The benefits of natural ventilation include:-
1. Improved Indoor air quality (IAQ)
2. Energy savings
3. Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions
4. Occupant control
5. Reduction in occupant illness associated with Sick
Building Syndrome
6. Increased worker productivity
MECHANICAL VENTILATION
Definition -
mechanical ventilation systems circulate fresh air using ducts and fans rather than relying on airflow
through small holes or crack’s in a home’s wall, roof or windows. Homeowners can breath easier
knowing their home has a good ventilation.
Benefits of using mechanical ventilation:-
1. Better indoor air quality –can remove pollutants, allergens, and moisture that can cause mold
problems
2. More control – provide proper fresh air flow along with appropriate locations for intake and exhaust
3. Improved comfort – allow a constant flow of outside air into the home and can also provide
filtration, dehumidification, and conditioning of the incoming outside air.
Mechanical system
These systems employ an electrically driven fan or fans to provide the necessary air movement;
They also ensure a specified air change and the air under fan pressure can be forced through
filters. There are three types of mechanical ventilation systems:
1. Natural inlet and mechanical extract (exhaust system).
2. Mechanical inlet and natural extract
3. Mechanical inlet and extract
FANS
FANS
-Propeller Fan does not create much air pressure and
has limited effect in ductwork.
Centrifugal Fan
can produce high pressure and has the capacity for
large volumes of air.
Most suited to larger installations such as air
conditioning systems.
It may have one or two inlets.

used for basement car parks in malls
In an enclosed space, such as underground car park in malls, smoke is a real threat to life and it also
causes significant issues for fire fighters dealing with fire, in case there is a fire breakout. Hence,
these places need a good ventilation system for the removal of exhaust gases and replacing the
wasted air with fresh air inside the car parking space so that the people inside do not get suffocated
or choked.
• DUCTED VENTILATION
• DUCTLESS VENTILATION
Ducted ventilation
Ducted ventilation
(i) All air-conditioning or other ventilation ducts including framing there of, shall be
constructed of steel, aluminum, glass-fibre batt or mineral-wool batt or other approved
material.
A series of jet fans and exhaust fans are used in ductless ventilation systems for the removal of
exhaust. The jet fans provide a high velocity to the gas stream entering into it and pass it onto
the next exhaust or jet fan which then releases the gas stream to the outside surrounding while
also replacing it with fresh air from outside.
ADVANTAGE
• The first and foremost advantage that these systems have over ducted ones is that due to the lack of ducts, it is
extremely to install ductless systems in car parking spaces. The time and cost taken for the installation is also
considerably lower.
• The overall height of the basement gets restricted due to the installation height of the ducts and then the parking space
is also convenient for small and medium cars and larger cars do not fit in. Whereas with ductless systems, one does
have to face such issues.
• The jet fans in ductless systems are synced with CO2 detectors and they automatically adjust themselves to work
according to the CO2 level in the parking space. Whereas in ducted systems, the fresh air and exhaust fans would be
required to work all day leading to more energy consumption.car parck.pdf
