Content

Most information about the history of ventilation is spread over a wide range of publications and other sources. Our challenge was to gather a sufficiently broad amount of key knowledge on the subject and make it available in a simple pocket guide book.

The book is divided into five sectoins: 

  • Foreword
  • Ventilation technology
  • Historical timeline
  • Want to know more?
  • Epilogue
An overview is provided of how ventilation has always been a part of the building process and how the methods to provide suitable ventilation have advanced alongside the developments in building techniques. The ventilation solutions now available are directly related to the way in which we design and build, as well as to the demands we make on the indoor climate.
