Description
Summary:The aim of this paper is to enhance the local comfortable zone for the occupants in a small office room. The ceiling spot ventilation (CSV) system and the wall spot ventilation (WSV) system are proposed and investigated numerically to show the influence of these systems on the local thermal comfort and energy demand. Three different amounts of airflow rate are used in this investigation. A CFD model is employed to explain the behavior of indoor airflow and temperature distribution in each case study. The results show that, when using these systems as a main ventilation system will reduced the demand on fresh air and this will reduce the required load on cooling coil and saving more energy. Also, the results revealed that the wall spot ventilation (WSV) was provided a required local indoor thermal environment air for the occupant zone. Therefore, using this system will provide a comfortable local environment and enhance the air velocity distribution as well as saving more energy.
