Indoor air must be removed by extractors from kitchens, bathrooms, lavatories, utility rooms etc.

In dwellings in multi-storey buildings, a minimum flow of 20 l/s must be extracted from kitchens, and a minimum flow of 15 l/s from bathrooms and lavatories.

Area of fresh air vent in habitable rooms• At least 60 cm2 for up to 25 m2

floor area with natural ventilation

• At least 30 cm2 for up to 25 m2 floor area for mechanical extraction.

In room larger than 25 m2, the requirement is deemed to have been met if the opening area:

In the case of natural ventilation is augmented by 2,4 cm2 pr m2 floor area in excess of 25 m2

Area of fresh air vent in habitable rooms

Example :

Living room 40 cm2

40 x 2,4 = 96 cm2 opening

Or

60 cm2 + (40-25) x 2,4 cm2

= 96 cm2 opening
