Task/Ambient Conditioning Systems
Personal thermal comfort has received increasing attention in recent years. A task/ambient conditioning (TAC) system has been developed by many researchers. TAC systems are an excellent ventilation strategy that considers both personal thermal comfort and energy savings. By delivering heated or cooled air directly to the occupancy zone, the system provides local thermal comfort. TAC systems have typically been installed in an open-plan room. TAC systems of various types could be used (e.g., floor-based air distribution system). A well-designed TAC system can meet the requirements of the occupancy for thermal comfort, ventilation performance, indoor air quality, work efficiency, and energy savings. This chapter summarises the intelligent design, operational characteristics, equipment, and future trends of TAC systems in office buildings in a systematic manner.
