What is BS EN 16211- Ventilation for buildings about?
BS EN 16211 discusses ventilation for buildings. BS EN 16211 specifies simplified methods for the measurement of air flows on site.
BS EN 16211 provides a description of the airflow methods and how measurements are performed within the margins of stipulated method uncertainties.
Who is BS EN 16211 - Ventilation for buildings for?
BS EN 16211 on ventilation for buildings is useful for:
- Ventilation system manufacturers
- Architects
- Builders
- Inspection personnel
- Quality control personnel
Why should you use BS EN 16211-Ventilation for buildings?
Ventilation refers to the exchange of indoor and outdoor air. Without proper ventilation, an otherwise insulated and airtight house will seal in harmful pollutants, such as carbon monoxide, and moisture that can damage a house. Proper ventilation helps keep a home energy-efficient, safe, and healthy.
BS EN 16211 provides you with one measurement method that is to take point velocity measurements across a cross-section of a duct to obtain the airflow. This simplified method is an alternative to the method described in ISO 3966 and EN 12599. BS EN 16211 requests certain measurement conditions (length of straight duct and uniform velocity profile) to be met to achieve the stipulated measurement uncertainties for the simplified method. BS EN 16211 helps you to calculate heat losses in the ventilation, and partly to roughly estimate the electricity used to operate the fan motors.
