It has a 4-hour timer, and at a specified time, if the set temperature is raised and the room temperature rises, comfort will be lost as it is. Therefore, for example, the temperature proposed by Yaguro,
Based on the effective temperature in consideration of humidity and air flow, etc., the wind speed of the blown air flow is accelerated to compensate for the increase in room temperature, that is, the room temperature is raised, but this increase is compensated for by increasing the wind speed hitting the occupants. As a result, the temperature of the room is lower than room temperature, making the person feel the room, and maintaining comfort.
It is to save energy.

課題を有していた。However, in the above configuration, for example, when the outside air temperature is very high or in a room with a large load, the temperature of the airflow blown out by the air conditioner, that is, the blowout temperature is very low. Therefore, the temperature range becomes very low in the direction of the wind direction, and the temperature distribution in the room becomes large.

When the temperature is extremely low, the user has a problem in that the user feels a cold wind due to the low blowout temperature and the increase in the wind speed, which is extremely uncomfortable and impairs comfort.

It is a thing. Further, it is intended to improve the energy saving performance by making the user feel as a temperature lower than room temperature from a cool feeling due to an increase in airflow feeling.
