A fan airflow station measures airflow through a fan using fan speed, fan head, and the field-calibrated fan curve. This paper presents the theory and techniques of using fan airflow station in a variable volume system for building pressure control. These techniques include fan curve calibration, determination of the volumetric flow difference of the supply and return airflows, and sensor locations. The return fan speed profiles were plotted, and data was collected on building pressure after implementing the fan air flow station. The Implementation of a fan air flow station demonstrates that the return fan speed can track the supply fan speed profile as building loads change, such that building pressure is maintained within a satisfactory range.

Coandǎ Effect

The “Strategic Energy Plan” implemented by the Cabinet of Japan in 2014 strives for zero energy building design for typical new construction by 2030. The present study focuses on a ductless and variable air conditioning system, using the Coanda effect, with the aim of reducing fan power, and saving of resources by reducing the space between the ceiling. In this study, we examined the air blowing method and evaluated thermal comfort using computational fluid dynamics as well as subjective perception of coolness in a midsize office. A draft zone was reduced by extending the interval between conditioned air outlets. However, if the extension of throw length was excessive, hot space would be formed near the air outlets, and there would be a risk of impacting thermal comfort. Moreover, we confirmed that the thermal comfort was generally favourable. In particular, perceived thermal comfort was better at the position in the office where the air flow landed on the upper body of the subjects. On the other hand, it decreased when the influence of the air flow was small, and at the point where air flow landed on the lower body of the subjects.
