About the Selection of Ventilation Concepts

Explains which ventilation concepts you can choose and how to assign the same ventilation concept to all ventilation zones.

The ventilation concepts available for a ventilation zone are free ventilation and ventilator-based ventilation, as well as combined systems. Free ventilation is executed as cross ventilation or via a shaft. With ventilator-based ventilation systems, you can choose between extract air, supply air, and supply and extract air systems. You can also combine free ventilation with ventilator-based ventilation. The ventilation for windowless extract air rooms (exception: windowless kitchens) is planned and executed according to the specifications of DIN 18017-3.

A ventilation concept can be assigned to all levels of the building structure defined as ventilation zones. After determining the ventilation concept, the required ventilation components and the air volumes flowing into and out of the room are entered in the room overview. For rooms that are ventilated according to DIN 18017-3, you can adjust the category for the respective room differently from the zone setting.
