Calculation of Duct Sizing

This document sizes the supply and exhaust fans and ducting for ventilation systems in several buildings. It summarizes the volume of air to be handled, selects appropriate fans and duct sizes to meet requirements, and notes design parameters like velocity and static pressure limits. For example, it determines that a blower building requires exhaust fans handling 2.3 m3/sec each and louvre openings with a velocity below 3 m/sec and total area of 30m2.
