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
