Air ventilation – the movement of air in a circle.
The system takes the air that is in the
building, without making any changes to
it (if the air is warm, the system does
not cool it down), mixes fresh air from
outside (warms it, if outside temperature
is lower than interior), and circulates the
mixed, fresh air back into the building.
The air ventilation systems are often used in the industry, to
remove the harmful elements or unwanted smell.
Air conditioning – the circulation and cooling of air.
Air conditioning system is made of ventilation and
warming/cooling mechanism, which takes the air from the
interior, cools or warms it and brings it back to the building.
The air conditioning systems are often installed in offices and
similar objects, where fresh air of appropriate temperature is
needed.
Nowadays, air conditioning system is almost
necessary part of any trading it industrial
object, to ensure the comfort of workers as
well as customers.
Indoor air quality (IAQ) is a term which refers to the air quality
within and around buildings and structures, especially as it
relates to the health and comfort of building occupants.
IAQ can be affected by gasses (including carbon monoxide,
radon, volatile organic compounds), particulates, microbial
contaminants (mould, bacteria) or any mass of energy stressor
that can induce adverse health conditions.

Fundamentals of Good Indoor Air Quality
According to ASHRAE
Acceptable indoor air quality is typically not achieved by
addressing one specific building product, system or procedure.
Rather, it is the result of the following fundamental elements.
1. Contaminant source control
2. Proper ventilation
3. Humidity management
4. Adequate filtration
Fundamentals of Good Indoor Air Quality
According to ASHRAE
Careful attention to each of these fundamentals during the
design and construction of the building and HVAC system,
followed by proper maintenance throughout the life of the
building can significantly reduce the risk of indoor air quality
related problems.
