Evaluation of Indoor Air Environment by Changing Diffuser Location and Air Temperature with Under Floor Air Conditioning System

The thermal comfort of occupants is directly related to several environmental factors such as velocity of air flow, turbulence intensity and temperature distribution of indoor air. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the indoor air flow and temperature distribution in office area using under-floor air-conditioning system (UFAC System) based on the results from physical measurements and to perform a Computer Fluid Dynamics (CFD) under the same condition of inlet and outlet as field measurement. The results from the CFD simulation are similar to those from the field measurement. The results show that UFAC system is provide proper indoor condition for occupants.
