This study investigates how some related factors of the air-conditioning system with ceiling induction diffusers effect on the indoor environment in the ward during the heating period. A series of experiments (10 cases) which are involved in two influential factors including the positions of exhausts and the conditions of curtains are carried out in a full scaled model room. The investigation aims to verify the trend and the degree of the influence of the relevant factors on the distributions of indoor temperature, contaminant concentration and the local mean age of air. The results show that the positions of the exhaust ducts play an important role on the normalized concentration distributions and have strong influence on the local mean age of air. Moreover, the barrier function of curtains to the contaminants is verified. There is a minor influence of curtains on the local mean age of air, though it can change the directions of the air flow.
