Handbook of Domestic Ventilation
The Handbook of Domestic Ventilation is a comprehensive study of the basic science, technology and practical application of effective and energy efficient ventilation strategies for dwellings. Unlike other books, the Handbook concentrates on a domestic context rather than looking solely at commercial applications, giving a much needed insight into the requirements of ventilation for the home.
Basing his conclusions on both theoretical study and practical experience, Rodger Edwards demonstrates the clear link between poor ventilation and poor health, and tells the reader how to use good quality ventilation as a way of enhancing quality of life and as a health improvement tool.
A series of studies of homes in England show that around 15% – or some 3 million homes – suffer problems with damp and mould, largely because of poor ventilation. The impact on public health and quality of life is substantial.

Whilst the reasons for having a book about ventilation are fairly clear, perhaps this might not, at the first sight, seem to be the case for dwellings.From the perspective of building services engineering, houses are small and relatively of a small range of room configurations. The amount of air required for ventilation purposes is correspondingly small, and the measures required to ensure effective ventilation might be viewed as being relatively simple to implement.
A large number of researchers, legislators and others have been responsible for generating the significant amount of relevant literature collated and analyzed in this book.
