由于其在局部热环境控制方面的优异性能，任务/环境调节（TAC）系统吸引了越来越多的研究关注。然而，目前TAC系统的应用主要针对白天活动，而很少用于夜间。事实上，TAC系统可能最适合睡眠环境，因为由TAC系统服务的对象在睡眠期间是不动的。因此，非常需要研究TAC系统应用于睡眠环境时的运行和节能性能。本文报告了一项评估新型基于床的 TAC 系统的运行和节能性能的实验研究。实验结果及其分析表明，与使用全风量空调（FAC）系统相比，使用新型基于床的 TAC 系统有助于实现节能。考虑到实验的局限性，通过理论分析研究了新型基于床的 TAC 系统在实际卧室中使用的节能潜力。结果表明，新型基于床的 TAC 系统在实际建筑中使用时将有助于实现显着的节能效果。
Because of their excellent performance in local thermal environmental control, task/ambient conditioning (TAC) systems have attracted increasingly more research attention. However, the current applications of TAC systems are mainly for daytime activities, but seldom for nighttime. In fact, TAC systems may be best applied to a sleeping environment, since the subjects to be served by a TAC system are immobile during sleep. Therefore, there is a strong need for studying the operational and energy saving performance of TAC systems when applied to sleeping environments. This paper reports on an experimental study on evaluating the operational and energy saving performance of a novel bed-based TAC system. The experimental results and their analysis demonstrated that the use of the novel bed-based TAC system can help achieve energy saving, compared with the use of a full volume air conditioning (FAC) system. Considering the experimental limitations, the energy saving potential of the novel bed-based TAC system if used in an actual bedroom was studied through a theoretical analysis. It demonstrated that the novel bed-based TAC system would help achieve significant energy saving when used in real buildings.
