Personalized forced ventilation system in an office building

Summary

Improving the air quality in the working area of the office space is an urgent task. The design feature of such rooms is a small height (about 3 m) that complicates supplying the required volume of induced air without creating drafts in the working area. It is noted that the solution to this issue is associated with the use of new materials and technologies in practice. These include textile ducts made of 100% polyester with carbonic fiber weave. This material possesses strength, wear-resistance, minimal ablation of particles from the surface. Unlike steel zinc-coated air-ducts, it is possible to cut with laser precision holes with fused edges of the required pitch and diameter in the textile ducts. A lay-out of arranging personalized forced ventilation in an office building based on a designed air terminal device with a microperforated textile insert is presented. This device provides for adjusting the air flow depending on the individual needs of the person up to shutting down the system in the absence of an employee. Reducing induced air flow contributes to the energy efficiency of the ventilation system.
