a. Ventilate habitable volume: atmosphere velocities in the habitable volume shall be maintained within the specified air velocity ranges, adapted to total atmospheric pressure situation.
b. Gas velocity ranges can differ between habitable and non-habitable volume.
c. Exchange of atmosphere between pressurized volumes: atmosphere exchange between connected pressurized volumes shall be specified.
d. Monitor ventilation and atmosphere exchange: Location of ventilation and atmosphere exchange monitoring shall be specified.
