Based　on　the　analysis　of　the　environmental　requirements　and　energy　consumption　characteristics　of　the　telecommunication　base　station　(TBS),　the　simulation　model　was　established　and　the　air　conditioning　power　consumption　for　the　TBS　was　calculated　in　the　cities　of　China,　where　the　climatic　data　can　be　found　in　the　design　handbook.　Taking　the　sandwich　panel　with　the　thickness　of　50　mm　as　the　TBS　envelope,　the　power　consumption　of　an　air　conditioning　coupled　with　or　without　a　thermosyphon　heat　exchanger　in　the　TBS　and　the　energy　saving　potential　for　using　ambient　energy　was　calculated,　and　the　energy　saving　rate　was　shown　on　the　map　of　China　by　different　colors.　The　results　demonstrate　that　the　operation　mode　of　an　air　conditioning　coupled　with　a　thermosyphon　heat　exchanger　for　controlling　the　indoor　temperature　can　bring　enormous　energy　saving　potential　for　the　TBS　located　in　China　except　the　southern　areas.
