What is meant by the term "Ventilation"?

Ventilation means the supplying of fresh air to a room or building for the purpose of improving its condition as regards the comfort and healthfulness of its occupants, and a system of ventilation comprises any arrangement of special apparatus for bringing about this result. Furnace heating, indirect steam and water heating, steam blast heating, etc., illustrate different types of ventilating systems, which should be properly designed and installed.

The removal of air from a building by means of vent flues or exhaust fans constitutes another form of ventilation. Natural ventilation, so called, is produced by the movement of fresh air through a room by means of open doors or windows.

How does the necessity for air compare with that for food and water?

What is the effect of poor or vitiated air upon the occupants of a room?
