Natural Ventilation & IAQ 15 Bylaw 39(1) Every room designed for residential, business or other purposes
except hospitals & schools shall be provided with natural lighting and natural ventilation by means of one or more windows having total area not less than 10% of the floor area and shall have opening for uninterrupted air passage of 5%
Bylaw 39(2) Hospitals window area 15% and open able windows 10%
Schools window area 20% and open able windows 10%
Ventilation, whether mechanical or natural, may be used for: AIR QUALITY CONTROL: to control building air quality, by diluting internally-generated air
contaminants with cleaner outdoor air, DIRECT ADVECTIVE COOLING: to directly cool building interiors by replacing or diluting warm indoor
air with cooler outdoor air when conditions are favorable, DIRECT PERSONAL COOLING: to directly cool building occupants by directing cool outdoor air over
building occupants at sufficient velocity to enhance convective transport of heat and moisture from the occupants, and
INDIRECT NIGHT COOLING: to indirectly cool building interiors by pre-cooling thermally massive components of the building fabric or a thermal storage system with cool nightime outdoor air.
