Roof Ventilators Selection Calculations

The document provides instructions for calculating the size and number of ventilators needed for a building. It describes how to determine the total volume of the building by calculating the volume of different sections. It then explains that for areas with air conditioning, only the unconditioned volume should be used for ventilator calculations. Finally, it gives a formula to select the number of ventilators required based on the building volume, desired air changes per hour, and exhaust capacity of each ventilator. It includes an example calculation for a building requiring 20 ventilators.

Calculations to decide size and number of Ventilators.


1. Determine the volume of the building.
Volume of section A = 0.5 x L x W x Ha Volume of section B = L x W x Hb
Total building volume = volume of section A + volume of section B.
Note: For factories, the combined volume A + B should be used.

Where Volume B is air-conditioned, only Volume A is used to calculate the number


of ventilators required. No air should be drawn from the air-conditioned space below
ceiling level.

2. Select the number of ventilators required


METRIC = V x Ac/Hr. Divided by EX/c x 3.6
Where:
V = Volume of building or roof space Ac/Hr = Air changes per hour
EX/c = Exhaust capacity of ventilator

1). Volume of the building L50mtrs X W40 mtrs X Average H 10 mtrs =


20000 c mtr
No.of ventilators required = 20000 X 8 Air changes divided by 2200 X 3.6 =
20 ventilators.

You will be requiring 20 ventilators.
