State of art / Efficient ventilation solutions

The objective of the study is to detail the current state-of-the-art of ventilation solutions, with emphasis on the energy performance of the systems. This study focuses on the industry, in particular the industrial premises in which are present manufacturing processes likely to emit specific pollutants.

The main function of a ventilation system is to ensure the sanitation of working environments and the treatment of pollutants emitted before they are released into the atmosphere, in compliance
with the regulations. A ventilation system is made up of different components which generate a significant energy consumption for the industry.

The review of the abundant existing literature on ventilation has shown that this sanitation function is dealt with through best practice guides and rules of the art. Conversely, few works
specifically concern the energy efficiency of ventilation systems.

Therefore, the present state-of-the-art aims at reviewing each component of a ventilation system from an energy efficiency point of view: the collection device, the transport network, the depollution device, the regulation and finally the fan.
