Human response to thermal environment and perceived air quality in an office room with individually controlled convective and radiant cooling systems

The purpose of this study is to analyse the human response indoor climate with two individually controlled convective and radiant cooling systems: a low velocity unit combined panel system (LVRP) personalized ventilation (PVRP). As reference without individual control, diffuse ceiling (DCV-RP) was also studied. In laboratory conditions, 10 males females gave subjective during various office activities. results show that DCV-RP system, conditions were worse than LVRP PVRP systems. thermal sensation perceived air quality better system. After medium activity task, acceptability reverts faster Compared subjects preferred higher airflow rate at workstation Males under same both micro-environment This research found there significant variation in control preferences concerning micro-environment, emphasizes need for ensure all occupants are satisfied conditions.
