The cold air distribution system using ice thermal storage creates easily a low humidity environment whereas the system using a fluctuating breeze creates the feeling of coolness by actively generating airflow (an intermittent breeze) over the human body under a low humidity environment. That second system keeps the room temperatrue at a higher level, allowing energy savings in a comfortable environment. A model of a thermal sensation sensor was developed and the results obtained are presented.
