Summary

In this study, the thermal comfort, air change effectiveness and stratification profiles are characterized for an in-situ test. A private office was built in order to analyze the effects of the load split between the chilled ceiling and displacement ventilation systems on the thermal comfort, stratification and thermal comfort. Tests included varying the ceiling temperature, room load and load placement. Results from six load configurations are compared to the literature and offer field observations of the trends shown in lab studies. The study indicates that the use of CCs with stratified air supply systems can lead to comfortable room conditions, with good air quality as described in the literature.
