Type of article: Article

Summary

In comparison to classic displacement ventilation systems that deliver air at low velocities, typical underfloor air distribution systems deliver air through floor diffusers with higher supply air velocities. In addition to increasing the amount of mixing, these more powerful supply air conditions can have significant impacts on room air stratification and thermal comfort in the occupied zone.
