Hi,

I am not sure, but I believe that within minimum total air changes per hour (an example 20 times for surgical rooms) there must be minimum 4 outdoor air changes i.e. with outdoor fresh air ...

what is correct, we need to replace exhausted air with fresh outdoor air full of oxygen ...


But, I can be wrong too ...
