Abstract
Ventilation is the main factor for generating a soothing and comfortable environment in a building. It is one of the most important factors for maintaining acceptable indoor air quality and human humidity in buildings. The design of ventilation blocks plays an important role in the influence of air circulation in the house. The ventilation blocks basically attach permanently to the house wall and cost a great deal to replace. This study focused on enhancing the existing design of permanent ventilation blocks with replaceable ventilation blocks. We explored the design aspects of replaceable and sustainable ventilation blocks. The methodology of this study was divided into four phases: design development, material investigation, manufacturing, and installation. For the future, the ventilation blocks can be replaced and a variation pattern created. We also introduce a new concept of design of ventilation blocks.
