Lee, H. and Awbi, H. B. (2004) Effect of internal partitioning on indoor air quality of rooms with mixing ventilation - basic study. Building and Environment, 39 (2). pp. 127-141. ISSN 0360-1323 doi: 10.1016/j.buildenv.2003.08.007

Abstract/Summary

The internal partitioning, which is frequently introduced in open-space planning due to its flexibility, was tested to study its effects on the room air quality as well as ventilation performance. For the study, physical tests using a small model room and numerical modeling using CFD computation were utilized to evaluate different test conditions employing mixing ventilation from the ceiling. The partition parameters, such as its location, height, and the gap underneath, as well as contaminant source location were tested under isothermal conditions. This paper summarizes the results from the study.
