A field study was carried out to assess the impact of installing a desktop task/ambient conditioning (TAC) system at 42 selected workstations within three San Francisco office buildings occupied by a large financial institution. Field measurements were performed both before and after the TAC system installation to evaluate the impact of the TAC system on occupant satisfaction and thermal comfort. During the follow-up field tests, measurements were repeated under three different room temperature setpoint conditions. The result indicate that among the six building assessment categories, installation of the TAC system provided the largest increases in overall occupant satisfaction for thermal quality, acoustical quality, and air quality.
