movement of fresh air indoors
The way fresh air moves into and through a room or building, often using a fan or special system, so the air does not become hot or dirty.
Модел на употреба:
ventilation in [a place] / ventilation of [a building or room]
Честа грешка:
Learners sometimes confuse "ventilation" with "air conditioning." Ventilation means moving and replacing air (fresh air in, stale air out), while air conditioning usually means cooling and sometimes drying the air, but not always bringing in fresh air from outside.
Синоними
air circulation (Stresses the general movement of air, without especially focusing on the system that provides it.)
Антоними
stagnant air (Describes air that does not move and is often dirty or unpleasant, which ventilation is meant to prevent.)
