Abstract

This is the description of ventilation planning conducted by the author in 1952 as his thesis for the German degree of Dipl.-Ing. Since the problems have not changed, most of the work done is not much different from what one would do today. Even the tools have remained the same, except for the computers, which were not around yet. To compensate for this, certain planning techniques were developed which are now in danger of being forgotten.
