Two different night-time ventilation strategies for public buildings were examined: continuous and intermittent ventilation. The systems operated for 4 months under humid and cold conditions with microbial media released inside the ductwork. Contact and air samples showed the extinction of colonies by the end of the experiment regardless of the chosen night-time ventilation strategy. This indicated that the risk of microbiological growth in the ductwork is low.
