title: Industrial ventilation
reg no: COSTG3
project type: COST
subject: CC. Urban Civil Engineering
status: accepted
duration: 19.12.1996 - 18.12.2001
description: The main objective of the COST Action G3 is to produce a basis for a Design Guidebook by a multidisciplinary approach based on gathering the expert knowledge which exists internationally, further developing it and making it available for the designers.

This means:

1. A collection of information on the existing methods and criteria for the design of industrial ventilation methods.

2. Development of the design methodology with respect to different branches and country specific items.

3. Development of valid target levels for industrial facilities.

4. Development of new design criteria and tools to control contaminant sources.

5. Development of new innovative solutions to problems in industrial ventilation.

6. Development of tools for life-cycle assessment of industrial ventilation systems with respect to energy usage, environmental aspects and total lifetime costs.

7. Compilation of information packages on case studies included in the Action.

8. Identification of knowledge gaps.



The produced information will be used as a basis for an Industrial Ventilation Design Guidebook but will also provide a good basis for standardization work.
