Median ACH, range and number of measurements that are above the WHO recommendation for each room, comparing window only and turbine and grate only.
<p>*Calculated by using the measurement of actual flow through the turbine, at the same time as overall ACH measurement.</p
Installation of roof turbines and air-intake grates.
<p>A: Roof turbine with ducting from roofline to ceiling, B: roof turbine without ducting (no roof space), C: photograph of outside of clinic room, showing roof turbine and air-intake grate, and D: design of louvred air-intake grates used (effective opening area is 0.68 of actual grate area).</p
