The presence of draught is an unwanted and unpleasant discomfort parameter in offices, because it can make the working performance low. Furthermore, due to the draught the risk of health problems may be higher and people require higher indoor air temperature which modifies the energy consumption of the building. The international standards and technical reports suggest general values for draught comfort design. However, these values only consider the air distribution type: displacement or mixing and do not take into consider some details. These details are the type and geometry of the air diffuser device, location of the diffuser, inlet air velocity and so on.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
