Information Paper 12/98 Trickle ventilators in offices
Publication Year
1998
Document Status

Abstract
Trickle ventilators are identified in Approved Document F as a means of providing natural background ventilation in office buildings. Research at BRE determined their optimum open areas, and their effectiveness was assessed by airflow modelling laboratory tests and field measurements in occupied offices. Purpose-designed trickle ventilators, sized according to these criteria and incorporated in the overall ventilation strategy of an office building, can provide the required background ventilation during the heating seasons without compromising thermal comfort.
