Ventilation plays a crucial role in building design as it provides a means to regulate indoor air quality and temperature by introducing fresh air and removing stale air. Good ventilation helps to reduce indoor pollutants, such as carbon dioxide, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and allergens, which can cause health problems such as allergies and respiratory disorders. It also helps to regulate indoor humidity levels, preventing the growth of mold and mildew. In addition, ventilation can help to reduce energy costs by improving building insulation and reducing the need for mechanical cooling systems. Overall, proper ventilation is essential for ensuring a healthy and comfortable indoor environment for building occupants.
