Analysis of thermal comfort in an office environment with underfloor air supply in a tropical climate

The aim of that study was to evaluate the environment's thermal conditions so as to indentify the comfort and localized discomfort conditions in office buildings with underfloor air supply systems.Parameters of thermal comfort and of system operation are presented in this paper. The results of that research show that thermal conditions created by the underfloor air supply system fulfill the thermal comfort requirements and can be used as a guideline for air-conditioning systems with underfloor air supply designs.
