Summary

NOTES ONE OF THE MOST COMMON COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE INDOOR ENVIRONMENT IS DRAUGHT, DEFINED AS AN UNDESIRABLE LOCAL COOLING OF THE BODY CAUSED BY AIR MOVEMENT. RECENT DRAUGHT STUDIES SHOW THAT TURBULENCE INTENSITY OF THE AIR FLOW IN ROOMS HAS A SIGNIFICANT EFFECT ON DRAUGHT SENSATION, MEAN AIR VELOCITY AND AIR TEMPERATURE. DISCUSSES HOW DRAUGHT RISK IN ROOMS CAN BE QUANTIFIED, WHAT TO MEASURE AND WHERE, WHAT IS MEAN AIR VELOCITY, TURBULENCE INTENSITY AND AIR TEMPERATURE IN THE OCCUPIED ZONE OF ROOMS. DESCRIBES THE FANGER DRAUGHT RISK MODEL AND THE USE OF THE DANTEC MULTICHANNEL FLOW ANALYSER. CONCLUDES THAT TO REDUCE DRAUGHT COMPLAINTS, AIR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS WITH LOW TURBULENT AIR FLOW SHOULD BE DEVELOPED. (INT. BUILD. SERV. ABSTR., GB., 24, N 5, 1989/09-10, 89-01608.
