Cheap 3D models for visualization of room ventilation applications are now available. VRML (Virtual Reality Modelling Language) is found to be a good format to describe buildings, rooms and furniture. A 3D model in VRML can be placed on an World Wide Web www page and others can see the model in "Walk Through" mode. Use of VRML is described with examples as for instance in planning of measurements and as a basis for geometry in CFD calculations. The advantage of 3D and VRML is that it is much easier to see, find and correct problems than using traditional drawings. 3D models on Internet are a new possibility for better exchange of ideas.
