| Abstract |
For modern people who spend most of their time indoors, the comfort of the indoor environment is very important. High energy use for maintaining comfort in summer is becoming a problem and the temperature control does not satisfy residents' comfort. For the purpose of reducing the use of air-conditioner and enhancing comfort, an experiment is performed through the control survey of the various indexes of evaluation of indoor areas and the residents' questionnaires. All control criteria experiments are conducted six times per hour every ten minutes and 84 data are collected and analyzed per day for 4 days in a row. The operating patterns of the air-conditioner derived from control by control criteria is analyzed with the residents' comfort. As a result, rather than controlling only a single control criteria, it indicates that there is a need for mutual supplementation between indexes of evaluation. It seems to be necessary to analyze the amount of power consumption of air-conditioner in the future. The purpose of this thesis is to analyse the control criteria for decreasing use of air-conditioner and the improving resident's comfort by means of a control experiment by the control criteria. |
