Abstract: The paper used the big scale sub-metered data of 499 VRF systems in residential buildings to bring out the real using state of the air conditioner in China. Data mining methods were proposed for analysis, including data statistics and cluster analysis. It provided the real distribution of using duration, setting parameters of occupants and indoor environment of air conditioner and typical behaviour patterns of using VRF in order to help VRF systems designing and operation. This study found that most of the residents in China tend not to use all the indoor AC units at the same time.
