Overview

The comfort of interior rooms depends on temperature, humidity, and an adequate supply of fresh air. Depending on use and climatic conditions, technical systems of varying complexity are required to achieve it. Basics Room Conditioning provides a basic understanding of these relationships and uses diagrams to explain the different possible levels of space conditioning – from simple principles of housing construction to totally air-conditioned systems that are fully independent of outside air.
