DESIGN GUIDEBOOK

• 1. Why do we need this reference?
• 2. What is unique?
• 3. Who should purchase?
• 4. Features of the book
• 5. e-ventilation

3
WHY?

• No internationally accepted handbook available
• No scientific basis for many applications
• No harmonization of design equations
• Many books are out of date
• No longer acceptable to over-design

4
WHY?(Contd)

• No accepted design methodology
• New demands on improved workplace environments
• Ventilation field is fragmented on a global basis
• Need to integrate ventilation with processes and
  building services

5
What is unique?

• New innovations based on rigorous design
  methodology and target levels
• Global team (60 experts from 18 countries)
• More than US50M in RD
• Significant contributions from leading
  ventilation experts in Russia

6
What is unique?(Contd)
