An Engineering Approach to Ventilation System Design

Ove Arup & Partners, Birmingham, UK

Many ventilation systems fail to meet the expectations of the occupants, despite the level of knowledge available to aid their construction, including best practice and good design criteria. This paper looks at how a ventila tion system should be designed, installed and main tained in order to maximise occupant satisfaction and minimise operating costs. Contemporary design solu tions are discussed, and a case study of the new parlia mentary building in Westminster, London, is presented.
