    Abstract

    Stratum ventilation, which could provide quality air in breathing zone and stratified thermal comfort, is a promising technology to meet the challenge of energy saving nowadays. This study is to find the influence of movements on airflow under stratum ventilation. The experiment is conducted in a full-scale chamber. A moving manikin is used to simulate the movements of an occupant. The results show that the moving manikin blocks some of the supply air when it is passing by the supply air inlet. However, the influence is local and disappears fast, mostly within 20 s.
