This paper describes the effect of vertical air circulation on the thermal environment in an airport passenger terminal with induced flow by jet fans. In comparing the level of thermal comfort at the breathing line of 1.5 m in height, the results from the two models with or without the vertical air circulation, show that the average PPD is 8% in the former and 23% in the latter, respectively. It is thought that vertical air circulation lends to improved thermal comfort for human in respect of ventilation in a large space.

복사에 의한 냉난방은, 장시간 재실하는 방이나 소음, 기류에 민감한 장소에 적합하고 에너지 절약면에서도 유효한 냉난방 방식이라고 알려져 있다. 일반적으로 널리 알려져 있는 바닥난방은 실온의 수직분포가 균일함으로서 인체에 쾌적한 난방방식으로 알려져 있다. 이것에 비해, 바닥의외의 벽, 천장을 활용한 냉난방설비의 쾌적성에 대해서는 아직 충분히 검토되고 잇지 않다. 따라서 본 연구는 물순환식 복사 냉난방장치를 이용하여 겨울철의 천장복사난방이 인체에 미치는 생리적, 심리적영향을 밝히고 복사난방의 유용성에 대해서 검토하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 실험은 일본 나라여자대학 인공기후실을 이용하였고, 실험조건은 실온 18$^{\circ}C$, 21$^{\circ}C$, 24$^{\circ}C$ 천장온도 $25^{\circ}C$, 3$0^{\circ}C$, 35$^{\circ}C$의 조건을 조합하여 7조건으로 설정하였다. 또, 상대 습도 40%, 기류속도 0.1m/s 이하로 일정하게 유지시켰다. 생리적반응으로는 피부온14점과 직장온을 30초 간격으로 측정하였고, 혈압, 심박수, 체중, 체지방율을 측정하고 심리적반응으로는 온열감, 쾌적감등의 항목을 10분간격으로 측정하였다.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of horizontal air flow produced by circulation fans on horizontal and vertical profiles of meteorological factors. The three-dimensional distributions of air speed, air temperature, relative humidity and carbon dioxide $(CO_2)$ concentration were measured with and without the fans in operation. The uniformity of the spatial distribution of meteorological factors decreased as the outside air temperature decreased. In "fans off" condition, spatial variations of $4.7^{\circ}C$ in air temperature, 19% in relative humidity were detected. When the fans were operated, these variations were reduced to 2.2 and 6.3%, respectively. As the fan capacity increased, the difference in air temperature among sampling points decreased. The fan capacity of $0.0104m^3{\cdot}s^{-1}{\cdot}m^{-2}$ was enough to obtain a reasonable air flow in greenhouse. The vertical profiles of air temperature and $CO_2$ concentration were reasonably uniform regardless of measurement height and fan capacity. Further researches on the position of fans to reduce the difference in air temperature along the width and the effects of using a larger number of smaller fans are required.
