Abstract

The use of ceiling mounted air terminal devices for warm air heating of perimeter zones can lead to difficulties in establishing a suitable room micro-climate because of downdraughts from the windows. A solution is to provide additional under-sill heating but this is not aesthetically desirable or practicable and in these circumstances there is little information available to assist the designer in the selection of a suitable room air distribution system. The objective of this guide is to present a method which may be used to assess the conditions where it is possible to provide all the heating by ceiling mounted slot terminal devices with no additional under-sill heat source. If such a source is necessary to avoid excessive downdraught the method also indicates the required output of this source.
