Technical Booklet K Ventilation·Page 16·1.11
Performance-based guidance approach
Technical Booklet K provides performance-based guidance on ventilation levels rather than prescriptive methods, allowing designers freedom to use innovative solutions if they meet the recommended performance standards.
This Technical Booklet focuses on performance-based guidance which suggests to the designer what level of ventilation should be sufficient, rather than how it should be achieved. Therefore, the designer has the freedom to use whatever ventilation provisions suit a particular building, including the use of innovative products and solutions, if it can be demonstrated that they meet the performance standard recommended in this Technical Booklet.
