The Development of the Bed-Based Task/Ambient Air Conditioning System Applied to Sleeping Environments

摘要

Task/ambient air conditioning(TAC)system is an excellent air conditioning method due to good performance in thermal comfort,indoor air quality and energy saving.For a sleeping environment,since a sleeper is usually immobile and occupied a small space,TAC systems can be regarded as the best air conditioning method.Nowadays,some bed-based TAC systems have been proposed and its operation performances on energy use,thermal comfort and indoor air quality were experimentally and numerically studied.In this study,the previous studies on these bed-based TAC systems are reviewed and its advantages and disadvantages are summarized.
