Drying-out process: a low humidity ventilation technique pioneered in Norway is being used in a Scottish sports centre

Article Abstract:

A Scottish sports centre is to use a low humidity ventilation technique developed in Norway. The pore ventilation technique draws air through the porous parts of the building's fabric, exchanging heat and moisture. The process will reduce mechanical extraction costs and heating costs will also be lower than a conventional sports centre.
