Abstract

An investigation to understand the actual conditions of smoking spaces was conducted, and it became clear that the introduction of a highly efficient ventilation system is necessary in addition to the securing of a sufficient ventilation volume. In addition, case studies using CFD and experiments were conducted on the effects of introducing a highly efficient ventilation system to smoking rooms. As a result, a unidirectional ventilation system with a floor to ceiling airflow, such as a vertical swirl flow system, is highly effective for the improvement of the air environment in smoking rooms, when compared to ordinary mixing ventilation systems.
