Temperate buildings are comfortable, safer and more productive places to work. Ensuring that extremes of cold and heat, and airborne diseases are mitigated is through effective design, function and management of ventilation systems. This book addresses the basics of ventilation systems and their use in building-based workplaces and how to ensure they are managed successfully.This book provides comprehensive technical information regarding the design and implementation of dilution and local exhaust ventilation systems to ensure safe and productive workplaces. It presents a simple and readable summary of how to design, install, and operate industrial ventilation systems, all highlighted through illustrations and tables. This title is written to international standards on the design of dilution and local exhaust ventilation systems, including ASHRAE and ACGIH standards. Design of Workplace Dilution and Local Ventilation Systems is an ideal reference for safety engineers, designers, specialists, engineers, architects, and contractors tasked with ventilation systems. It is also a useful reference for undergraduate and graduate students to master the complex fundamentals of designing dilution and local exhaust ventilation systems.

Climate change has become the primary serious human and environmental threat of the 21st century and, with associated variability, it presents enormous potential to affect workers' safety and health. This book delivers vital information regarding climate change adaptation measures and workplace health and safety interventions across diverse sectors.This edited book delivers relevant information for specialists and academics to compare good practices across different sectors to help improve workplace safety and health as climate change factors continue to impact indoor and outdoor workplaces. In addition, it highlights the impact of extreme heat exposure and risk of climate-related chronic diseases, which could impact productivity, occupational safety adherence and wellbeing of workers. It also covers the impact of reduced work capacity due to climate change variability on the jobs undertaken. Comprehensive, up-to-date and including the latest references and cutting-edge case studies, this book reveals to the reader how to adapt accordingly for the impacts of climate change and to understand what the key issues are likely to be.Climate Change Impacts on Workplace Health and Safety: Adaptations, Interventions and Responses is a sobering but essential read for academics, researchers and professionals in health, safety, and environment (HSE) roles, occupational health engineering and environmental health specialists. Its appeal will extend to climate change scientists, epidemiologists and business and management professionals.
