Project Objectives

This project was setup under the DETRs Partners In Innovation scheme to address the following objectives:

Develop improved displacement ventilation technology to meet higher cooling loads than possible with existing products.

Actively promote improved displacement ventilation technology to ensure its rapid uptake by the construction industry.

Increase the use of displacement ventilation to improve the sustainability of buildings.

Provide building users with information on the benefits of displacement ventilation systems, and in particular improved diffuser design.

2. Numerical modelling - (Work in progress due to finish in December)

3. Construct improved diffusers - (Jan 2001)

3. Physical modelling - (March 2001)

4. Workshop and final report - (December 2001)
