Abstract
This research aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of decentralized fan to the centralized air conditioning system for a small office as current reports claimed that air conditioning system is the biggest power consumption in office buildings. In this research, a duct trainer kit is developed and the temperature distribution, face velocity of the diffuser and power consumption of two cases with damper and two cases with decentralized fan with minimum and maximum speed of centralized fan respectively are compared. Result shows that decentralized fan with maximum centralized fan speed has the higher face velocity at the diffuser and shorter temperature distribution period but has slightly higher power consumption compared to other three cases.
