Air turbulence
Thermal Comfort (TG 22/2023), written by David Bleicher and Calum Maclean and published by BSRIA in 2023 defines air turbulence as: ‘A measure of the changing air speed measured. The air turbulence is calculated from the average air speed and the standard deviation of these values. It is reported in percent.’
