| Abstract |
A partition supply system can provide highly personalized environmental control.??The supply air is brought up through raised floors and supplied to outlets located on the partition panels. This paper aims to find out the best location of outlets for the personalized environmental control within a personal task area. Real scale experiments were conducted to allow comparison of outlet designs within a personal task area. Experimental results indicate that upper and lower outlets is better than upper only or lower only case to improve the supply air distribution efficiency of the personal task area. Thermal characteristic comparisons were made among variable cases by the redirection of the supply air. Experimental results suggest that outlets should have operable directional grills that the occupant can control to avoid draft. Such a system can allow an occupant to personally control their immediate environment, resulting in higher productivity. |
