Article describe current situation with tightness of Air Duct Systems in Russia. Before 2012 national design standards used old methodology based on two tightness classes (Normal and Tight). New revision of national HVAC design standard (SP60.13330.2012) introduce European tightness classes A, B, C and D. According to new rules most ventilation systems should meet requirements of class A. Ventilation systems with requirements for fire resistance require class B. Maximal leakage in system should be below 6 %.

People spend most of their times inside built environments, where many mechanical and electrical features work intensively to provide a certain level of comfort for the users. Essentially, all these systems operate depending on the microclimatic conditions occurring outside the buildings. If we can successfully design these systems for optimum conditions, can we also design the effective microclimate?
