Design of the Ventilation System in an Underground Car Park: Local Mean Age of Air

Abstract: The jet fan system used in the ventilation of underground car parks is an efficient system. The Local Mean Age of air, LMA, is one of the most important parameters when the air quality in an enclosed car park is considered. No literature thus far on the LMA in underground car parks has been published for public use. This paper aims to give a comprehensive account of the importance of using the LMA concept in the design of such systems using CFD simulations. Five cases were examined; each case has a different a… Show more

“…However, one of the urgent problems in the development of underground construction is environmental safety. This requires the use of energy efficient lighting systems and mechanical ventilation [2]. It should also be noted that underground building structures are characterized by increased moisture content due to contact with wet soil, which causes problems during operation: infiltration of ground moisture, development of fungal infections, etc.…”

“…Increasing the number of jet fans does not improve mechanical ventilation system efficiency. Using LMA concept in the design shows the length of the time of the stagnation areas in different sections in an underground car park [12]. To improve air quality in underground car parks, various mechanical ventilation strategies have been developed.…”
