Study on the applicability of the desk displacement ventilation concept.

Author(s) : LOOMANS M. G. L. C.

Summary

Results show that the separation between micro- and macroclimate, a characteristic of task conditioning, is less pronounced. The thermal comfort conditions at the desk limit the cooling capacity of a DDV system. Finally, the transient characteristics of the concept do not conform to stated requirements. The main conclusion is that there is no particular advantage in sitting close to a displacement ventilation unit. An improvement of the DDV system is proposed by incorporating a parallel system that provides the fresh air near head level.
