Abstract This paper describes the effect of vertical air circulation on the thermal environment in an airport passenger terminal with induced flow by jet fans. In comparing the level of thermal comfort at the breathing line of 1.5 m in height, the results from the two models with or without the vertical air circulation, show that the average PPD is 8% in the former and 23% in the latter, respectively. It is thought that vertical air circulation lends to improved thermal comfort for human in respect of ventilation in a large space.
