Summary

Personal ventilation (PV) systems are one of a number of microenvironment approaches to comfort heating/cooling and ventilation that deliver heating or cooling and/or ventilation air directly to an individual or individuals, rather than conditioning an entire space. Air or chilled water-based personal cooling vests worn under protective clothing by military personnel, fire-fighters, workers in other hazardous environments, and race car drivers are another example of a PV approach.
