Abstract

Thermal comfort is a vital consideration that can be taken into account in the building design process that can have a positive effect on the facets of social and economic activity of persons using these sites. Comfortable climates can encourage the human for relaxation and can thus increase the commercial activity. In the present work computational fluid dynamics analyses have been performed for an office room using ANSYS fluent to investigate the effects of better thermal comfort by changing of four-way cassette AC inlet position. For that four CAD model of office room is designed using the CATIA software with approximate dimension. The four models created were Single AC inlet in office room from top, Double AC inlet in office room from top, Double AC inlet in office room from its side wall and Double AC inlet in office room one from top and other from side wall. Results show that the design-3 of the office room with double AC inlet from its side wall has lest time (44.93% compared with model-1 Single AC inlet and 5% as compared with model-2 Double AC inlet) to achieve the comfort temperature inside office room.
