Practical guidance for designing healthy, efficient building ventilation

This classic reference translates the science of air flow into workable steps for architects and engineers. It explains how to balance cost with comfort, plan fresh-air supply, and integrate heating and ventilation from the start of a project. Real-world examples show how ventilation systems were designed for churches, theatres, schools, and hospitals, with practical lessons you can apply today.

The book emphasizes clear, workable approaches over abstract theory. It discusses the challenges of delivering consistent air quality in large spaces and provides guardrails to avoid common pitfalls. You’ll find practical ideas for evaluating options, selecting systems, and planning maintenance to keep a building comfortable year after year.
