velocity variations

Air movement in an indoor space may be experienced in very different ways. For persons feeling cool, air movement tends to be perceived as draught, whilst when feeling warm air movement may provide a desired cooling effect. In the transition zone it therefore seems difficult to use constant air velocity as a tool for cooling without creating draught problems. One possible way to use air movement as a method to improve thermal comfort, without resultant draught problems, could be to use intermittent air velocity instead of constant velocity.
