Summary

Air movement can be an energy-efficient alternative to air cooling. However, in recent years, it has been regarded more as a possible source of undesirable draft. Thermal comfort standards set room air speed limits low, even for temperatures as warm as 26°C. An exception was granted if the air speed source was under individual control, such as a window in a private office, or a desk fan, but only above 26°C.
