Ventilation is the intentional introduction of outdoor air into a space, primarily to control indoor air quality by diluting and displacing indoor pollutants. It can also influence indoor temperature, humidity, and air movement, affecting thermal comfort and building energy use. Ventilation is important where combustion occurs indoors, as fireplaces, heaters, and other combustion sources consume oxygen and produce gases, smoke, and water vapor that may need to be removed.
