30 human subjects participated in a 3 h 45 min. experiment, that took place in an office with mixing ventilation and personalised ventilation systems (PVS).Each person could choose the position of the personal air terminal device, the direction of the air supplied and the flow rate (up to 15 l/s.person).The subjects were exposed to 4 following experimental conditions : PVS supplying outdoor air at 20C, then 23C ; PVS supplying re-circulated room air ; mixing ventilation, without PVS.Results allow to know how the PVS were used by participants (choice of position and flow rate).
