US 5,291,748 A · Air condition control apparatus

Abstract

An air condition control apparatus includes: a thermal sensation estimating device for estimating an actual thermal sensation on the basis of the history of a thermal sensation information in a predetermined period output from an indirect thermal sensation information detecting device for detecting information relating to a thermal sensation in the vicinity of a human in a room; a control pattern storage device for storing a predetermined thermal sensation control pattern for achieving a target thermal sensation; a control value determining device for determining control values of air to be supplied into the room so that the thermal sensation output from the thermal sensation estimating device coincides with the stored thermal sensation control pattern; an air condition control device for controlling the temperature of the air to be supplied into the room, on the basis of the control value output from the control value determining device; and an air blower for supplying the temperature-controlled air into the room in accordance with the control value determined by the control value determining device. The apparatus adequately controls the air conditioning irrespective of the position and direction of an occupant's face.
