从节能和使用者舒适的角度来看，办公室的热环境并不总是最佳的。主要原因是空调系统的控制没有考虑到居住者的需求。在这项研究中，我们想提出一个新的系统来控制空调系统，照明系统等，根据居住者的要求。该系统从用户的个人电脑上收集用户的需求，并通过逻辑控制空调系统，平衡用户的需求和能源消耗。控制逻辑被称为“建立共识的逻辑”，可以根据节能或居住者对环境的满意度等运营策略进行调整。此外，各种反馈激励居住者配合节能工作。开发了一个交互式系统，利用居住者的要求来控制空调系统并提供各种反馈。一系列的冷却实验在一个50人左右的开放式办公室里进行。结果表明，与将空调系统控制在恒定的26℃相比，该交互系统可节省20%的能源。
The thermal environment in an office is not always optimal from the viewpoint of energy-conservation and occupants’ comfort. The main reason is that air-conditioning systems are controlled without taking the occupants’ needs into account. In this study, we would like to propose a new system to control air-conditioning systems, lighting systems, etc. via occupants’ requests. This system collects occupants’ requests from their own personal computers and controls the air-conditioning system with logic that balances the needs of occupants and energy consumption. The control logic is referred to as “Logic for Building a Consensus” and can be adjusted according to operating strategies such as energy-saving or occupants’ satisfaction with their environment. Moreover, the variety of feedback motivates occupants to cooperate with energy-saving efforts. An interactive system to use occupants’ requests for controlling the air-conditioning system and providing a variety of feedback was developed. A series of cooling experiments were conducted in an open-plan office where about 50 people worked. The results show that this interactive system could save 20% more energy compared with controlling an air-conditioning system at a constant 26°C.
