This Digest is concerned with natural ventilation, the process by which the air in a building or part of a building is removed and replaced by air from outside by the action of natural forces as distinct from ventilation effected by the aid of mechanical equipment such as fans. It outlines the principles involved and indicates the methods by which the rate of ventilation can be assessed.
