BIB 02: An annotated bibliography: garage ventilation

The bibliography summarises research into the health, energy and design aspects of the various systems used in garage ventilation. It contains the main problems associated with car parks, research into naturally ventilated garages, research into large scale bus and hanger type garages, and small scale car park problems and solutions.

Microbial contamination in buildings: comparison between seasons and ventilation systems.

Airborne microorganism contamination was investigated in naturally and mechanically ventilated buildings. Air was sampled with SAS system and cultured on general media for total count and on media for fungi; data were related to other indoor contaminants and to microclimatic parameters. Comparison of winter versus summer microorganism concentrations was not significant. No major difference of detected species was observed between naturally and mechanically ventilated buildings.
