Air conditioning is achieved by developing the principles of moving air in ducted

ventilation systems to include a number of physical and scientific processes which

enhance the air quality. The objective is to provide and maintain internal air
conditions at a pre-determined state, regardless of the time of year, the season
and the external atmospheric environment. For buildings with human occupancy,
the design specification is likely to include an internal air temperature of 19-23*C
and relative humidity between 40 and 60%.

Example
Applied to an office of 2400 m3 volume, requiring three air changes per hour,
the quantity of air (Q) delivered will be:
Q= Volume Air changes per hour/ 3600
=2400 x 3/3600
= 2 m3/s
