Satisfactory thermal comfort and efficient removals of airborne contaminants are crucial to
the work efficiency and health of occupants. Different air distributions can generate distinct …

The motivation of this study is stimulated by a lack of knowledge about the difference of
airflow characteristics between a novel air distribution method [ie, stratum ventilation (SV)] …

To take advantage of both stratum ventilation and displacement ventilation, while breaking
some of their limitations, the sidewall air supply is introduced. Computational fluid dynamics …

In this paper, a comparative experimental study on the performance of mixing ventilation and
stratum ventilation for space heating was carried out. Objective and subjective experiments …

To explore one reasonable ventilation system that can provide a comfortable and healthy
indoor environment becomes urgent with the deterioration of outdoor environment. Objective …

Excellent air distribution is an indispensable factor to acquire comfortable environment in
high density occupant areas, such as subway stations. This study assesses the air …

While mixing ventilation (MV) and displacement ventilation (DV) are widely used to regulate
the indoor environment, very few studies compared occupants' responses under these two …

The cooling effect of air movement significantly affects the energy-efficient provision of
thermal comfort with advanced air distribution. Existing studies merely focus on the cooling …

There is worldwide plea to reduce carbon dioxide emission. In response to such a call,
several governments in East Asia recently have required to adopt higher room temperatures …

There is a new trend to convert the workplaces from individual office rooms to open offices
for motivating money saving and better communication. With such a shift the ability of …
