The current trend in most Western countries regarding building ventilation is to follow the “build tight, ventilate right” strategy. New energy efficient buildings are indeed getting more and more airtight to avoid energy losses through uncontrolled air leakages. Instead of relying on natural infiltration, ventilation systems are installed to ensure a good indoor air quality (IAQ) with controlled ventilative air flowrates.
