尽管酒店确实需要高水平的热舒适，但酒店空调的能源消耗仍然是建筑能源领域的一个重要话题。这项研究的重点是人们在长途旅行后对日本酒店温度的偏好。我们测量了房间温度，调查了299名日本客人，并测量了7,435个晚上日本人和外国人的房间温度。我们调查了客人在休息、睡觉和醒着时进入房间时的短暂反应。客人直接支付零加热和制冷费用，他们可以自由设置自己喜欢的温度。这项研究产生了五个有趣的发现。首先，居住在不同地区的日本受访者对酒店客房温度的偏好没有显著差异。其次，日本受访者喜欢夏天“凉爽”的环境，冬天“温暖”的环境。第三，日本受访者在夏季和冬季都倾向于“干燥”而不是“潮湿”。第四，夏季和冬季偏好的温度不同。第五，同一家酒店的首选温度因受访者的原籍国家或地区而异，夏季不一定比冬季高。
Energy consumption by air conditioning in hotels is significant and continues to be an important topic in the building energy sector, although hotels do require a high level of thermal comfort. This study focuses on the temperatures that people prefer in Japanese hotels after traveling long distances across countries or regions. We measured room temperature and surveyed 299 Japanese guests, and measured room temperatures on 7,435 nights by Japanese and foreigners. We investigated the transient responses when guests entered a room while resting, sleeping, and waking. Zero heating and cooling costs were directly paid by guests, who were allowed to freely set their preferred temperature. Five interesting findings have emerged from this study. First, there were no significant differences in the temperatures preferred in hotel guest rooms by the Japanese respondents who lived in different regions. Second, Japanese respondents preferred a “cool” environment in summer and a “warm” environment in winter. Third, Japanese respondents tended to prefer “dry” to “moist” in both summer and winter. Fourth, the preferred temperatures differed between summer and winter. Fifth, the preferred temperatures in the same hotel varied depending on the country or region of origin of the respondent, and were not necessarily higher in summer than in winter.
