Abstract
There have been many advancements in the technology associated with subsurface ventilation over the past three decades. These advances have included areas such as modeling, the tier system of diesel emissions, ventilation on demand, and even the advancement of electric equipment. This discussion examines how we as ventilation engineers incorporate new and emerging technologies into our ventilation designs and the need to approach each new technology with caution so that we will ultimately develop safe and effective ventilation plans and designs. To gain the full effectiveness of new technology it must be balanced with the knowns and unknowns of the mine plan to fully enhance the safety, efficiency, and robustness of the ventilation plan.
