TLDR

The book surveys key concepts in building ventilation, covering airflow through openings, mass transport mechanisms, buoyancy‑driven flows, room air dynamics, large internal openings, and tracer gas measurement techniques. It presents tracer gas methods for quantifying air age distribution and assessing ventilation efficiency. The book includes an index.
