Research on use of gymnasiums and analysis of annual load characteristics

According to website survey and field visit, the occupancy rate and utilization rate of gymnasiums are low in China. Simulates different operating conditions of a gymnasium by a load simulation software. The result shows that the actual operation load is low and the time of duration for small load rate is long. Therefore, these load characteristics should be considered in designing the air conditioning system in order to improve the economy and energy saving performance.
