Abstract

Modern smart building frameworks demand advanced ventilation systems that ensure superior indoor air quality (IAQ) while minimizing energy consumption. Effective design involves integrating innovative technologies, such as IoT-enabled sensors and adaptive control systems, to optimize ventilation performance in real time. This paper explores the methodologies for achieving these objectives, with a focus on sustainable design principles. A comprehensive literature review of studies published before 2021 highlights key trends and innovations. Analytical results and design recommendations are presented, supported by data visualizations and formulaic assessments. This work aims to contribute to the development of smart, energy-efficient ventilation solutions that meet rigorous environmental standards.
