Building ventilation is a strange beast. Each building's ventilation needs vary widely from one building to the next, making this one of the most challenging aspects of managing a building's HVAC system. Though there are a variety of schools of thought surrounding the best strategy to implement when considering the ventilation system for a building, most experts agree that the single most important factor is the amount of traffic that the building is expected to endure. Commercial buildings tend to have the hardest time with this estimation because their traffic varies so widely from month to month throughout the year. Unlike any other estimation dealing with air conditioning systems and ventilation, traffic of commercial buildings should be overestimated as opposed to underestimated. This ensures that the ventilation system will be able to handle the traffic of the building.
