Abstract
As a burgeoning air-conditioning system for commercial buildings, THIC air-conditioning system can better satisfy the regulating requirements of indoor temperature and humidity and embodies a significant potential for energy conservation compared with the conventional system. The design methodology of the THIC system has been incorporated into the national standards and authoritative design handbooks of China. The key devices for the new THIC system have been developed and realized industrialization. Since 2006, there have been more than 20 million m2 commercial buildings that adopted the THIC system in China. Although rapid progresses have been made in developing THIC system, unremitting efforts are still needed for relevant researches and applications in the long term.
