Introduction The important technically relevant - even cross-disciplinary - requirements for ventilation and air conditioning technology with decentralized ventilation devices, which must be considered for the system design and plant and device design are compiled for the user in this guideline. On the basis of this guideline, building planners, architects and technical planners will be able to plan a decentralized ventilation system that can be operated in an energy-efficient and cost-effective manner. 1 Scope This guideline provides guidelines on the planning, technical requirements and operation of ventilation and air conditioning plants with decentralized ventilation devices for office buildings as well as other non-residential buildings. These plants are used for the ventilation of individual rooms (usage unit), in which the external air is automatically sucked in by a decentralised ventilation device on the façade and after at least one thermodynamic after-treatment, led into the room. This guideline does not consider devices with a centralised or decentralised exhaust in conjunction with external air after-flow in the façade. The delimitation to the centralised ventilation and air conditioning systems has been drawn up such that all such systems are assigned to VDI 3803, in which the components are connected via an air pipe network of the supply air with a centralised ventilation and air conditioning device.
