Abstract:
An air conditioning method, comprising the steps of:supplying cooling air generated from a cooling apparatus into an air passageway formed below a floor; guiding the cooling air within the air passageway through an opening formed in the floor and controlling the flow of cooling air to equipment located in an equipment assembly via an air control member, the equipment assembly having an input opening in proximity with the opening located in the floor, said air flow control member being positioned in the equipment assembly so as to substantially evenly distribute cooling air to the equipment located in the equipment assembly; communicating the cooling air introduced into the equipment assembly so as to be heated and communicating the heated air into a plenum separated from the room; and introducing the air released into the plenum from said equipment into the plenum and communicating the released air from the equipment assembly via the plenum through the cooling apparatus for cooling the released air.
