在日本的夏季，住宅中常用的空气源热泵（空调）排出的热量使住宅区的室外热环境恶化。由此恶化的外部环境使室内热环境变得不舒适，增加了制冷能耗。为了解决这个问题，本文提出了一种适用于人口稠密住宅区的新型区域供暖和制冷系统，该系统利用水源热泵和大型蓄热水箱。地下蓄热罐通过管网与房屋相连。从每个住宅的水源热泵排出的热量通过管网输送到蓄热罐，从而减少排到室外空间的热量。 结果表明，与使用空气源热泵的单个系统相比，能耗可以显著降低，并且系统的热性能受室外空气温度的影响。单元:双引文:研讨会，ASHRAE交易，第107卷，第。2.

During the summer in Japan, the outdoor thermal environment in residential areas is worsened by the heat discharged from air-source heat pumps (air conditioners) commonly used in residential houses. The external environment thus deteriorated makes the indoor thermal environment uncomfortable and increases the energy consumption for cooling. As a solution to this problem, this paper proposes a new district heating and cooling system for densely populated residential areas that utilizes water-source heat pumps and a large-scale thermal storage tank. The underground thermal storage tank is connected to the houses through a piping network. Heat discharged from the water-source heat pump in each residence is carried to the thermal storage tank through the piping network, thus reducing the heat exhausted to the outdoor space. It is shown that electricity consumption can be significantly reduced compared with individual systems that use airsource heat pumps and that the thermal performance of the system is influenced by the outdoor air temperature.Units: Dual
