Novel ventilation innovations in new constructions



Research efforts in more efficient ventilation systems have thrown up several novel solutions. Some of them are task ventilation, hybrid ventilation and demand control ventilation.


  • Task ventilation seeks to replace whole-building ventilation which personalized, dynamic ventilation, detached from conditioning but delivered straight to the workstation.
  • Hybrid ventilation is a combination of natural and mechanical ventilation system with the goal of reducing the amount of energy needed for air distribution.
  • Demand control explores ways to alter ventilation rates basing them on occupancy and sources of pollutants.


Current R&D projects are focused on improving airflow in commercial buildings,measurement techniques in ventilation measuring filter efficiency and airflow in ducts, and in developing more efficient techniques in air cleaning using photocatalytic oxidation and ultra-violet radiation techniques.
