本文介绍了一种利用蓄热和自然能源来满足日本办公建筑不同性能要求的环境设计。通过安装一口井和一个污水池，这座建筑可以自我维持三天。此外，空调系统采用热激活建筑系统（TABS）来消除不均匀的温度分布。结果表明，利用井水热量的热源系统可将空调的年能耗降低20%，从而表明中温水的高效利用。引用:佛罗里达州奥兰多2020年冬季会议论文

This paper presents an environmental design that utilizes thermal storage and natural energy to meet the diverse performance requirements of an office building in Japan. The building could be made self-sustainable for a duration of three days by installing a well and a wastewater tank. Additionally, the air-conditioning system employed thermo active building systems (TABS) to eliminate uneven temperature distribution. The results indicated that a heat source system utilizing heat from well water could potentially reduce the annual energy consumption due to air-conditioning by 20%, thus suggesting a highly efficient use of medium-temperature water.
