An air conditioning system for a building according to the present invention essentially has a first thermal storage tank (1) as a cold thermal source which is installed at a high place in a building, the second thermal storage tank (2) as a hot thermal source which is installed at a low place in the building, air conditioners (3) which are installed at various heights between the first thermal storage tank and the second thermal storage tank, and heat pipe of a gravity type (4, 5) with which the air conditioners are connected with the first thermal storage tank and with the second thermal storage tank. This system dispenses with passages for water as a thermal medium at the places where air conditioners are installed. The system makes it possible to lower the capacities of air conditioning equipment, especially the capacity of the refrigerator included in the cold thermal source equipment. |
