Abstract
A living environment should be comfortable for all residents. The thermal environment is one of the indices of comfort, but it is difficult to adopt a specific thermal environment suitable for all residents who share a thermal space but have different personal needs. In this research, we propose an air conditioning control method that satisfies the demands of all residents in a given living environment. Control parameters change variously and control of the air conditioning is not easy for a typical real environment because the thermal environment changes dynamically. We propose a method of controlling air conditioners based on biological fluctuation.
