The receiving means 40 receives the comfort evaluation data in each person's whereabouts transmitted through the communication means 31, 32, 33, 34 (process S1 in FIG. 6). The received evaluation data is transmitted to the comfort calculation means 11 via the communication line 70.
評価データは、店舗利用者のそれぞれの居場所における快適性に関する情報であって、コンピュータによる演算処理可能な数値データ化され得るものであれば、特に限定されない。例えば、人間の聴覚、嗅覚、視覚のいずれかに対する刺激も、コンピュータによって演算処理可能になるように数値データ化しておけば、前記の快適性に関する情報として含めることができる。また、「風が強い」、「心地よい風が吹く」、「日光が強い」、「湿っぽい」という体感的な情報は、温度との関連性が高いので、これらの情報も段階的に数値化して、快適性を総合的に評価するための情報として含めることも可能である。
The evaluation data is not particularly limited as long as it is information on comfort of each location of the store user and can be converted into numerical data that can be processed by a computer. For example, a stimulus for any one of human auditory sense, smell sense, and visual sense can be included as information on the comfort if it is converted into numerical data so that it can be processed by a computer.

快適性算出手段11は、各人の居場所における快適性の評価データに基づいて、各人の居場所における快適性を算出する(図6の処理S2)。この算出された快適性は、ディスプレイ50に表示しても良い(図6の処理S2a)例えば、希望する屋内温度が前記の評価データに含まれている場合、快適性算出手段11は、前記の希望する屋内温度と空間内各場所の温度との温度差の大きさを快適性の指標に用い、前記温度差が小さいときに快適性が高く、逆に前記温度差が大きいときに不快性が高くなるような近似曲線等によって、温度差と快適性の関係を線形あるいは非線形の関数として近似する。
The comfort calculation means 11 calculates the comfort in each person's whereabouts based on the comfort evaluation data in each person's whereabouts (process S2 of FIG. 6). The calculated comfort may be displayed on the display 50 (process S2a in FIG. 6). For example, when the desired indoor temperature is included in the evaluation data, the comfort calculation means 11 The magnitude of the temperature difference between the desired indoor temperature and the temperature of each place in the space is used as an index of comfort, and comfort is high when the temperature difference is small, and concomitant when the temperature difference is large. The relationship between temperature difference and comfort is approximated as a linear or non-linear function using an approximate curve that increases.
店舗利用者が不在の箇所の快適性は、各人の居場所における快適性の評価データ及びその評価データに基づいて算出された快適性を利用して、次のようにして算出することができる。まず、空間STR内に存在する人数Nの店舗利用者のうち、店舗利用者i(1≦i≦N)の居場所を空間座標及び時間(xi,yi,ti)で表し、店舗利用者i(1≦i≦N)の居場所の快適性を空間座標及び時間の関数Fi(xi,yi,ti)を定義する。
The comfort of the place where the store user is absent can be calculated as follows using the comfort evaluation data in each person's whereabouts and the comfort calculated based on the evaluation data. First, out of N store users in the space STR, the location of the store user i (1 ≦ i ≦ N) is expressed in space coordinates and time (x i , y i , t i ), and the store usage The comfort of the location of person i (1 ≦ i ≦ N) is defined as a function of spatial coordinates and time F i (x i , y i , t i ).
前記の関数Fi(xi,yi,ti)として、予測平均温冷感申告(PMV;Predicted Mean Vote)、予測不満足度(PPD;Predicted Percentage of Dissatisfied)、標準有効温度(SET;Standard Effective Temperature)及び不快指数(DI;Discomfort Index)等のうちのいずれかを選択して用いることができる。
As the function F i (x i , y i , t i ), a predicted mean temperature vote (PMV), a predicted dissatisfied (PPD), a standard effective temperature (SET) Any one of Effective Temperature and Discomfort Index (DI) can be selected and used.
そして、店舗利用者iの居場所(xi,yi,ti)における快適性の評価データ及びその評価データに基づいて快適性を算出し、最小二乗法を用いることにより、店舗利用者iが存在しない箇所も含まれるように、店舗利用者iに関する快適性の関数Fi(x,y,ti)の値を算出することができる。
Then, the comfort user is calculated based on the evaluation data of the comfort in the location (x i , y i , t i ) of the store user i and the evaluation data, and the store user i uses the least square method. The value of the comfort function F i (x, y, t i ) related to the store user i can be calculated so as to include a non-existing location.

The comfort calculation means 11 uses the evaluation data related to comfort, such as the temperature of each person's whereabouts, transmitted from the communication means 31, 32, 33, and 34, the expressions (1) and (2), and the like. Using this, the comfort value of each person's whereabouts in the space STR is calculated (processing S3 in FIG. 6). The calculated comfort value is transmitted from the transmission unit 13 to the display 50.
ディスプレイ50は、空間STR内の各人の居場所における温度の快適性を図4(A)のように表示する(図6の処理S3a)。しかし、空間STR内の各人の居場所の快適性の相関関係が把握し難い場合がある。そのため、快適性算出手段11は、各人の居場所(xi,yi)における快適性Fi(xi,yi)を以下の(3)式で表される関数F(x,y)によって近似し(図6の処理S4)、その結果を図4(B)のようにディスプレイ50に表示させる(図6の処理S4a)。

In this case, the comfort calculation means 11 compares the ideal comfort distribution function with the overall comfort distribution function (step S5 in FIG. 6). The comfort calculation means 11 determines that the difference between the value of the ideal comfort distribution function and the value of the total comfort function for the same location (x, y) in the space STR is a predetermined value. It is checked whether or not the distance is exceeded (process S5 in FIG. 6).
