School ventilation
- isn't it just comfort ventilation?
Many associate school ventilation with comfort ventilation and possibly a little process ventilation. This is both right and wrong.
In contrast to an office building, a school contains many more different types of room, often with large load variations.

Rooms that typically require comfort ventilation |
Rooms that may require either comfort or process ventilation |
Rooms that require both comfort and process ventilation |

| These types of rooms do not generate fumes or hazardous gases. |
Comfort ventilation can readily be use with these types of rooms. If using a rotary heat exchanger, ensure that the purge functions correctly prevent fumes from escaping into other rooms. Alternatively, simple extraction can be used for toilets and cooker hoods. |
For these types of rooms the EU ATEX directive specifies how process ventilation must be installed and how it must function. |
Whether a centralised, decentralised, comfort or process ventilation solution is chosen will depend on factors such as the school layout, annual usage and overall costs amongst others. By using our calculation tools such as Exselect and the CO2 calculator, which both can be found at our calculation programs page, you can make your own calculations concerning the indoor climate and ventilation needs in different premises at your school, thus giving you an indication of air quality and learning ability.
