Introduction

HVAC is a method for providing comfort in both indoor and outdoor environments in vehicles. High indoor air quality and thermal comfort are the goals of the technique. Mechanical, forced, and natural ventilation are a few types of ventilation systems that can be used to ventilate a building and maintain an ideal temperature throughout the day and at night.
Nowadays, HVAC systems can be found everywhere, in both household and business settings. HVAC systems provide pressure regulation and ventilation for vacuum spaces. Room air distribution is a technique for removing air from areas and providing air.
