Ventilation is the process of supplying air or removing air by natural means (including infiltration) or mechanical means to or from a space for the purpose of controlling air contaminant levels, humidity (moisture levels), air temperature within the space. Mechanical ventilation is provided by mechanically powered equipment such as motor driven fans. Natural ventilation is provided by fixed or openable openings such as doors, windows, and non- powered ventilation.
