Abstract

The creation of an acceptable thermal environment at work places in ventilated buildings is a typical fluid mechanics problem which may involve considerable energy consumption. Increased demands on comfort and increasing energy costs focus attention on the solutions and this paper deals with some new prospects.

The establishment of a micro-climate at the work place in industrial buildings in those special cases where the workers are widely spread and engaged at fixed work places is discussed in the beginning, and it is further shown how thermal comfort is created by ventilation systems with minimum energy consumption in the more general situation where all parts of the room are occupied.
