Abstract
A process and system is provided for treating the air being taken into a building so as to remove moisture, especially snow, from the intake air. The system includes a series of air passages through the building; generating a flow of air through the series of air passages, wherein air is taken from outside the building; and, advantageously, reducing the content of snow in the intake air by passing the intake air through a mesh pad having a heating means disposed at its intake surface.
