The partition air distribution systems evaluated in this study allow occupants to control the system mode (on/off) and the supply air velocity and direction with similar flexibility as occupants in automobiles. To find optimal specifications for the partition air distribution systems that are able to achieve comfortable micro-environment, a CFD modeling tool was used to simulate the airflow and thermal performance of the partition air distribution systems in a typical office space. By analyzing the distribution characteristics of indoor air temperature, air velocity and thermal comfort index, the study assessed the performance of the partition air distribution systems with different operating parameters. The simulation results were analyzed and evaluated to assess both occupant’s thermal comfort and system energy consumption. The study shows that space cooling energy can be reduced while maintaining acceptable indoor thermal comfort level using a partition air distribution system with a higher supply air temperature.

Air Ventilation

There are ample literature studies available, focusing on hot-humid built environment, which have achieved an increase in thermal comfort conditions by proper installation of ventilation-systems. The present thermal comfort study has been carried out in the kitchen environment of a non-air-conditioned railway pantry car in Indian Railways. The purpose is to enhance thermal comfort level under the currently applied ventilation system inside the kitchen of pantry car by determining the standard effective temperature (SET) index. During the summer and winter seasons, a field study was carried out to obtain the value of air temperature, globe temperature, relative humidity, and air velocity inside the pantry car for estimation of the SET index. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis was used to obtain a better-modified case model of the pantry car kitchen for the improvement of thermal comfort. The design interventions for the pantry car kitchen were created, with emphasis on increasing energy efficiency based on low-power consumption air ventilation system. The study results indicated that, modified case-I model has a better ventilation design concept as compare to the existing and other models, which increased the air velocity and significantly decreased the air temperature inside the kitchen of pantry car at all cooking periods. A value of SET (28.6–30℃) was found with a comfortable thermal sensation within all cooking periods, which is better for the pantry car workers. This finding suggests a sustainable improvement in the thermal environment of the "non-air-conditioned" pantry car kitchen in the Indian Railways, which can be applied immediately.

Abstract Pesisir Selatan is one of the districts in West Sumatra with a humid tropical climate with temperatures reaching 32°C during the day. The majority of coastal communities work as fishermen and build houses on the beach, such as in fishermen’s housing in South Painan. In this area there are two models of fisherman housing, namely government-assisted fisherman housing and fisherman’s original housing. Housing on the beachfront will be faced with quite extreme climatic conditions such as air velocity, air temperature, and air humidity which are relatively high on average. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the level of thermal comfort in the space in both models of fisherman housing to determine the performance of each fisherman’s housing in dealing with the climate. This study uses a quantitative approach by measuring the parameters of thermal comfort, namely air temperature, humidity and air velocity using a thermohygrometer and anemometer. The data collection method uses descriptive quantitative. Comfort level is evaluated based on the Indonesian national standard (SNI 03-6572-2001) and adaptive thermal comfort. Based on the results of the study, the level of thermal comfort in both models of fisherman housing is classified as uncomfortable according to SNI 03-6572-2001 and adaptive thermal comfort.

The following article describes an extract of the results of experimental investigations on the topic of thermal comfort as a function of radiation asymmetry. The investigations were carried out in the climate chamber [1, 2] of the TU Dresden with the help of subjects. The radiation asymmetry was imprinted by subdividing the climate chamber into two vertically superimposed half-rooms, one of which was heated and the other cooled. In this way, 46 experiments on the heating or cooling ceiling were carried out. The measurement results show an inseparable link between the radiation asymmetry, the vertical air temperature difference and the air velocity. The subject assessed the room climate much more negatively than the ISO 7730 [3] would predict according to the state of the art.

Abstract- Indonesia with the characteristics of tropical climate requires control in design to achieve thermal comfort both in outside space and inside space. One of the factors that can affect thermal comfort is the pattern of air movement and air velocity. Landmark Residence Apartment is one of the new apartments in Bandung, with mass ‘U’ form in line up of new partially awakened. The newly constructed 'U' mass formation forms the characteristic of the two different masses, the space side in the closed A mass with the characteristic of the centered space as well as the side in the open mass B. this apartment become an object of research to determine the factors of order and mass form to the characteristics of air movement as well as thermal comfort in the outside space as a space of activities in residents. The method used in this research is descriptive-quantitative with simulation software Flow Design to know the air movement and measurement of thermal comfort factor at the point of population and sample which have been determined. This thermal factor will be analyzed using CET Nomogram method, so it generates thermal comfort level in outer space which will be associated with order and mass form of apartment. By using analysis of air movement patterns and CET Nomogram, it is seen that thermal comfort level in the outside space Landmark Residence apartment is more affected by wind velocity. The mass 'U' form with the back to wind direction will produce high wind velocity on the outside space of the building's side, while on the inner side of the 'U' form will form the shadow of the wind and the pattern of turbulence air movement affecting the achievement of different thermal conditions. The 'U' mass sequence lined up can also cause air movement on the inner side of closed A mass not getting enough air movement compared to open mass B with better airflow pattern. The pattern of air movement on the inner side of mass A can be at any time higher when the wind velocity enters the gap between the masses.  Key Words: apartment, outside space, mass ‘U’ form in line up, air movement, thermal comfort.
