Reviews the design conditions of air conditioning systems in domestic airport terminals, emphasizes the load components of air conditioning system and their corresponding proportions. The results indicate that the occupant density is a key factor influencing the design load for an airport terminal air conditioning system. The actual cooling/heating capacity test results of the terminal indicate that the infiltration is an important factor affecting the heat consumption in winter. On this basis, proposes the research prospect for the air conditioning system of airport terminals, mainly referring to the occupant behavior to determine an appropriate occupant density, air infiltration research of large space buildings, and novel terminal handling solutions, in order to provide a technical reference for the optimal design of airport terminal air conditioning systems and reducing building operating energy consumption.
