Air-conditioning device and control system

Abstract

An air-conditioning device includes: an information acquisition unit configured to acquire first information indicating environmental information on an environment in which a target person has been placed in a past or biological information of the target person; and a control unit configured to grasp a habitual behavior pattern of the target person in the first information. A target value of a first index, which is an index related to a thermal environment, is set based on the first information acquired by the information acquisition unit and the grasped behavior pattern.

1 . An air-conditioning device comprising:
 an information acquisition unit configured to acquire first information indicating environmental information on an environment in which a target person has been placed in a past or biological information of the target person; and   a control unit configured to grasp a habitual behavior pattern of the target person in the first information, wherein   the control unit is configured to   set a target value of a first index, which is an index related to a thermal environment, based on the first information acquired by the information acquisition unit and the grasped behavior pattern.   
     
     
         2 . The air-conditioning device according to  claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to grasp the behavior pattern, based on a report from the target person, operation information on an operation performed by the target person on the air-conditioning device, environmental information of a target space, a behavior of the target person estimated from a camera image of the target space, an amount of clothing of the target person estimated from the camera image of the target space, or a voice of the target person in the target space. 
     
     
         3 . The air-conditioning device according to  claim 1 , wherein the target value of the first index is in a thermal environment in which a target person group corresponding to one behavior pattern among a plurality of classified behavior patterns feels thermally neutral. 
     
     
         4 . The air-conditioning device according to  claim 1 , wherein the control unit includes an individual recognition unit configured to recognize an individual and a storage unit configured to accumulate a behavior pattern for each recognized individual, and
 is configured to set the target value of the first index, based on a past behavior pattern of the target person.   
     
     
         5 . The air-conditioning device according to  claim 1 , wherein the first index is an index based on a temperature in the target space, an index related to a human body exergy balance, a predicted mean vote (PMV), or the thermal environment. 
     
     
         6 . The air-conditioning device according to  claim 5 , wherein the index related to the human body exergy balance indicates a human body exergy consumption rate. 
     
     
         7 . The air-conditioning device according to  claim 6 , wherein the control unit is configured to control, if the first index is the human body exergy consumption rate, a temperature, a humidity, a wind speed, or a radiation temperature of the target space so as to satisfy the target value. 
     
     
         8 . The air-conditioning device according to  claim 7 , wherein the control unit is configured to
 set the target value of the human body exergy consumption rate to be lower than a predetermined value Va for the target person for whom a set temperature of the target space is set to be higher than a predetermined value Ta during a heating operation of the air-conditioning device.   
     
     
         9 . The air-conditioning device according to  claim 7 , wherein the control unit is configured to
 set the target value of the human body exergy consumption rate to be higher than a predetermined value Va for the target person for whom a set temperature of the target space is set to be lower than a predetermined value Ta during a heating operation of the air-conditioning device.   
     
     
         10 . The air-conditioning device according to  claim 7 , wherein the control unit is configured to
 set the target value of the human body exergy consumption rate to be lower than a predetermined value Vb during a cooling operation of the air-conditioning device for the target person whose amount of clothing is lower than a predetermined value Ca during the cooling operation.   
     
     
         11 . A control system for an air-conditioning device comprising the control unit according to  claim 1 .
