In large-space building, the distribution of vertical temperature has obvious difference. According to this feature, the energy consumption in air-conditioning would be greatly reduced if the designs of airflow are preferable in these buildings. The low sidewall air supply system is widely installed in the large-space buildings since it can directly sent the handled air to the personnel activity area, thereby has lower energy consumption than other systems. In this paper, a Gebhart-Block synchronous solving model is built to solve the vertical temperature distribution of an actual large-space building with low sidewall air supply system. The simulative physical model is divided into eight blocks in the vertical direction. According to the mechanism of heat transfer, unsteady-state heat balance equation is established for indoor air and wall in each block. The unsteady and synchronous solving model is established with integrating these balance equations. Furthermore, to predict the temperature distribution of indoor air and inner wall surface, the theoretical values of this model are calculated with programming by Visual Basic.
