This study is aimed to spread the intelligent design tool of ventilation in buildings and to improve indoor air quality (IAQ) in rooms. This paper describes two prototypes for diagnosing IAQ and ventilation calculation in rooms, by utilizing the technology of artificial intelligence, such as ES (Expert System), in which the data concerning ventilation design are summarized and the knowledge is presented in the form of production rule.
The paper presents the development of a ventilation scheme for a large bus station and passenger interchange in Bilbao, Spain. The main objective of the design was to ensure that pollution free conditions could be achieved within an enclosed waiting area that opened up on to, and was surrounded by, a semi-enclosed pick-up space, where there could be large number of buses with their engines running. Initial thoughts were to use natural ventilation, architectural and other constraints made this impossible so mechanical ventilation became necessary.
