It is said to be divided into three elements: discomfort, domination and obedience. This is no exception even in office, simple work reduces arousal, but changes (fluctuations) in conversation or environment.
It can stimulate your senses and raise your alertness. It is possible to maintain and improve work efficiency when the alertness is high. Specific examples of changes in the environment include fragrance air conditioning, fluctuation air conditioning, environmental music, and in terms of color, there are planting, painting, window effects, etc., and appropriate measures are taken for each office to enhance "awakening". I try to create a "pleasant" state empirically.

It means that you cannot concentrate. Therefore, in general, a neutral environment in which nothing is felt is preferred. However, many offices have a mixture of intellectual production activities and simple work, and thus it is often not said that the environment is controlled.

As the infrared sensor 9, a general-purpose sensor for crime prevention, detection of absence in a room, or the like can be used. Such a general-purpose sensor detects movement of an infrared radiation source having a wavelength in a specific range, and opens and closes an electric circuit according to the detected value. In the present invention, the sensor 9 detects infrared rays emitted by a person, The counter 10a counts the number of times the electric circuit is opened and closed per unit time, and this value is used as a substitute value for the amount of human movement. That is, the counter 10a functions as a motion amount analysis device. This operation amount is input as a control signal to the environment operation device 11 and is output to the environment control device 16 to control the air volume, the scent, the sound, the lighting and the like as described above.

化や変動を与えない静（ニュートラル）の環境である。[0012] In general, the concentration of intellectual production activity decreases over time, leading to fatigue. Refreshing is necessary to recover from this fatigue. As an environment for refreshing, a state of low alertness and pleasantness, or high alertness and pleasantness is required. This state of high alertness and pleasantness is equal to the environment required for simple work. Therefore, even in offices where intellectual production activities and simple work coexist, since intellectual production activities are usually emphasized, when the intellectual production activities decline, the environment changes for refreshing. Is usually not a hindrance to simple work. The advantage of this phenomenon lies in the advantage of the device of the present invention. For this reason, when the intellectual production activity declines, the environment operating device 11 controls the environment to the side suitable for refreshing. When the environment on the refreshing side continues, the motion amount detected by the motion detector 9 decreases with the passage of time (returns to the intellectual production activity). It outputs the environmental operation signal suitable for. This is a neutral (neutral) environment that does not change or fluctuate as described above.

制御する。FIG. 3 shows a change with time of the operation amount when the operation amount is counted by the infrared sensor 9 and the counter 10a shown in FIG. As represented by this change over time, in the present invention, refresh environment control is performed when the operation amount exceeds a certain threshold value, and in a neutral environment where the operation amount is small, an environment suitable for intelligent production activities is controlled.
