一般に、人間にとって暑くもなく寒くもなく快適に感じる気温である中立温度という概念があり、当該中立温度は直近の過去の外気温度の推移に影響を受けることが知られている。すなわち、直近の過去について外気温が高い環境が続いた場合では、人間の体は高い気温に順応して慣れてくる。また、直近の過去について外気温が低い環境が続いた場合には、人間の体は低い気温に順応して慣れてくる。このため、例えば、高い気温に慣れた感覚を持つユーザに対するある環境変化が与える影響と、そのような高い気温に慣れていない感覚を持つユーザに対する同じある環境変化が与える影響とは、異なる場合があり、ユーザの覚醒度等の心身状態や生産性等に与える影響も異なってくる場合がある。
