Abstract
In order to find out whether solar air conditioning system could be applied to building or not, the performance and evaluation on thermal environment of the system suggested was done during summer. A solar model house was constructed to find out the performance and thermal environment evaluation when it actually operated outside. As a result, regeneration rate increased rapidly when LiCl solution temperature was over $50^{\circ}C$ and the regeneration rate was $13\sim15kg$ during 9 hours operation. Furthermore the dehumidification rate was 12kg at maximum during 10 hours operating of a dehumidifier and indoor temperature and relative humidity was $28.4^{\circ}C$ and 39.1% in average respectively. On evaluation of thermal environment during summer, PMV value was slightly high, but thermal sensation vote was 71% within the comfort zone.
