How should you position desks relative to HVAC vents and air conditioning?

Avoid positioning desks directly below HVAC supply vents — the downward airflow creates a cold draft that leads to constant temperature complaints and can cause papers to blow around. A desk offset 3–4 feet from the vent center avoids the direct blast zone while still benefiting from air circulation. Also avoid placing desks near exterior walls in cold climates (cold drafts from windows) or over radiant floor heat (uncomfortable for feet). The best desk position relative to HVAC: within the conditioned zone but not directly in the supply stream.
