Ventilation standards and guidelines typically treat ventilation as a constant and specify its value.

The AIVC's collection of technical notes on subjects including ventilation, infiltration, indoor air movement, and measurement techniques.
Volume content
TN 60: Efficacy of Intermittent Ventilation for Providing Acceptable Indoor Air Quality | 2006 | English | 27 pp
TN 59: Parameters for the design of demand controlled hybrid ventilation systems for residential buildings | 2005 | English | 120 pp
This AIVC Technical Note has been produced in the frame of the EU RESHYVENT project, conducted from January 2002 to December 2004. An outline of this project is given in the introduction of this report.
The basic strategy for providing indoor air quality in residences is to dilute indoor sources with outdoor air.
Ventilation is required to provide to remove or dilute pollutants and incidentally meets metabolic oxygen requirements for occupants.
TN 56: A review of international literature related to ductwork for ventilation systems | 2002 | English | 62 pp
Ductwork is used for transport of air used for ventilation or air conditioning in buildings. The supply air is typically conditioned (filtered, warmed or cooled, sometimes humidified or dehumidified).
TN 55: A Review of International Ventilation, Airtightness, Thermal Insulation and Indoor Air Quality Criteria | 2001 | English | 203 pp
This review attempts to summarise available airtightness, minimum ventilation rate and indoor air quality requirements, standards, codes of practice and regulations.
