Innovative Ventilation System Approaches for Enhancing Indoor Air Quality in Energy-Efficient Building Environments
Keywords:
Indoor air quality, energy efficiency, smart ventilation, hybrid systems, natural ventilation, adaptive ventilation systemsAbstract
Enhancing indoor air quality (IAQ) in energy-efficient buildings presents a dual challenge: maintaining comfort and health while minimizing energy consumption. This paper explores innovative ventilation system approaches tailored to such environments, emphasizing advancements in natural ventilation, mechanical systems, hybrid models, and smart technologies. Comparative analyses and quantitative modeling underline the role of adaptive ventilation in achieving optimal IAQ with minimal energy trade-offs. A discussion of challenges, opportunities, and future directions concludes the paper.
