I'm looking for a tool or index that can determine the ventilation status of an average house based on the number of windows, rooms and persons on a given floor. Since the Pakistani population doesn't use Ventilation systems that are centralized hence this is a better approach to determine whether the house or dwelling is well ventilated, poorly ventilated or moderately ventilated. if anyone can help me out in this regard i would be grateful. This is specifically for an environmental health study and since the study is self funded i cannot invest in a device to measure air flow rates in a room. kindly advise me how to tackle this.
Ventilating a house manages to combine physical aspects of the house with techniques that can be completed after the construction phase is complete. Combustion gases can be removed from the home using ductwork and exhaust fans. Furthermore, there are numerous methods for preventing moisture from entering and accumulating in your home.
There are three types of home ventilation:
1. Natural ventilation
2. Spot ventilation
3. Whole-house ventilation
Thankyou Usama Badawy for a detailed answer, although this applies to developed countries, i was interested in something that was relevant to developing countries where air ventilation systems are not used.
