A review of the performance of different ventilation and airflow distribution systems in buildings
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the scientific literature on airflow distribution systems and ventilation effectiveness to identify and assess the most suitable room air distribution methods for various spaces, and showed that the assessment of ventilation effectiveness or efficiency should be determined according to each task of the ventilation system, such as removing heat, removal of pollutant, supply fresh air to the breathing zone or protecting the occupant from cross infection.
