Industrial ventilation is one of crucial engineering measures to protect workers from hazardous airborne contaminants. Designing a ventilation system is nat an easy task. To solve this problem, U.S. computer programs and softwares have been developed. In Korea, a software, called as VPMC(Velocity Pressure Method Calculation), was developed by Korean Industrial Safety Corporation. Since VPMC is a DOS-based software, it could not be a user-friendly one. In this study, a Windows-based software was thus developed to overcome the difficulty in using a software for designing the ventilation system. As far as we know, this kind of Windows-based software is the first in the world. But this software should be kept being revised. The future work would include introduction of GUI(Graphic User Interface) and enhancement of editing functions by using Data-Base programs.
