Introduction
A ventilation system is the combination of all the components/products required to provide ventilation. These
components/products interact to achieve a renewal of the air in a dwelling.
It is important to consider each product not only individually but also as part of the whole system: for example from
the outdoor canopy of an externally mounted air transfer device to the roof outlet terminal at the end of an exhaust
duct. To enable good design it is essential that certain performance characteristics for each product are available in
a simple and comparable form.
