| Summary: | The utilization of energy in office building is mostly for create comfort and health for employee to work.
However, it always consume energy excessively which is caused from the utilization of air-conditioning. The high demand
of energy adopted from air-conditioning is to dilute indoor air particle. This article is about a parametric study of inlet air
supply position for identifying the effectiveness of airflow behaviour of a room to dilute indoor air particle. It was carried
out using COMSOL Multiphysics software of modelling and simulation approach. In simulation stage, the first process
was to simulate the airflow behavior and the second was to assess its behaviour to dilute indoor air particle. Results from
the simulation indicated that effectiveness of airflow behaviour in diluting indoor air particle are affected by inlet air
supply position, outlet position and barrier condition in the room. Thus, these indicate that to improve IAQ of a room it
needs to properly understand the airflow behaviour. |
