This paper titled, “Building Ventilation – A Taxonomy of Global Terminology” is published in Building and Environment.

This work focuses on clarifying and standardising ventilation terminology across different building codes and disciplines—an important step for improving communication and collaboration across research, policy, and practice, linking academia and industry. A highlight of this paper is the Building Ventilation Classification (BVC) Chart, which visually describes the 22 ventilation strategies from the paper.
