In that study, the existing recommended correlations are validated in a full-scale experimental facility representing an office space. New correlations are developed as well, for floor surfaces. Validation results show that the floor convection correlations expressed as a function of volume flow rate are much stronger than the ones expressed as a function of a temperature difference between the surface and local air.
