In this study, the viability of annual cycle energy system -ACES- with seasonal thermal storage was examined using system simulation. The annual cycle energy utilization is basically achieved by sifting hot and cold exhaust heat by cooling and heating to winter and summer respectively. And the difference of both quantity is made up by the solar energy. In this paper, the storage medium is water and the system is applied to a typical residence in Japan. The energy performance of the system was compared with the conventional residential HVAC and D.H.W. system and the solar D.H.W. system. From a results, the ACES decrease about 66% of energy consumption against the conventional system and about 17% against the solar D.H.W. system.
