Promising prospects of non-uniform indoor environment. 56th Informatory Note on Refrigeration Technologies.

Author(s) : LI X., SHAO X., LIANG C.

Type of article: Informatory note

Summary

Traditionally, the indoor environmental parameters taken into account when designing and regulating air conditioning are considered to be uniform within a given area, which can result in high energy consumption and poor indoor air quality. However, a non-uniform environment allowing differentiated parameters to be maintained according to the needs of the occupants in various sectors of that zone can be decisive in achieving greater efficiency.
This Informatory Note synthesises current knowledge of technologies for creating demand-oriented non-uniform indoor environments. In particular, it provides information on the advanced air distribution schemes to be implemented, the heating/cooling loads to be taken into account, the ventilation rate required as well as the regulation of this type of environment. The areas of application of these technologies, ranging from workspaces to shopping centers, airports and data centres, are reviewed.
Finally, a series of recommendations is made to prioritise the challenges to be met to enable the development of these highly promising technologies in terms of energy savings and air quality.
