The paper presents some of the findings from a broader investigation aimed at determining thermal comfort design conditions for combined chilled ceiling/displacement ventilation environments. A typical chilled ceiling/displacement ventilation office has been created within a laboratory test room, in which the ceiling temperature can be varied over a range of typical operating values; the thermal comfort of eight female test subjects was then measured in the test room over the range of ceiling temperatures. Vertical radiant temperature asymmetry was found to have an insignificant effect on the overall thermal comfort of the seated occupants for the typical range of ceiling temperatures that would be encountered in practice in such combination environments. Then was a slight trend for the reported sensation of ＇freshness＇ to increase as ceiling temperature was reduced though this requires further study. It is concluded that existing guidance regarding toleration of radiant asymmetry is valid for thermal comfort design of chilled ceiling/displacement Ventilation environments.
