With regard to autonomous driving and associated new interior concepts of the vehicle, the focus will be on innovative and efficient air-conditioning concepts concerning the seat. The seat offers the opportunity to provide air-conditioning close to the body of the passenger. A new seat ventilation which generates a directed air flow to the passenger is developed. In the following investigation, an outlet air duct concept at the side of the seat is objectively assessed. Furthermore, the thermal comfort regarding different climate conditions is investigated. When evaluating the results according to the comfort zone diagrams of ISO14505-2:2006 the seat outlets perform well for hot climate conditions during a pull-down. Cold ambient temperatures are less suitable for this outlet system. More investigations are necessary to test whether this concept, in combination with other air-conditioning systems, can result in potential energy savings and increasing thermal comfort.
