The paper presents the results of a study, the purpose of which was to automate the process of designing ventilation for a residential construction project. The ventilation system is one of the most complex life support systems of a building, which has a significant impact on the level of comfort of residents. Automation of the design of such a system will reduce the number of errors, reduce the time and labor required for design. During the study, the design process was considered as a business process consisting of individual works. When modeling this process in the “As Is” notation, the connection of the ventilation system with other engineering systems and a number of other important factors were taken into account. In the process model, the most time-consuming and, at the same time, algorithmizable works were identified. Subsequently, these works were automated using code created in the Visual Studio environment in C#. This made it possible to reduce the number of errors and reduce the time spent on creating a ventilation system project.
