 ところで、低湿度(おおむね60%未満)の環境の空間において、エアコンが冷房運転される場合、その空間にいる人の体感温度が下がることが知られている。また、雰囲気温度がおおむね10度以上で、かつ高湿度(おおむね60%以上)の環境の空間において、エアコンが暖房運転される場合、その空間にいる人の体感温度が上がることが知られている。
 ところで、一般的なエアコンは、空間における実際の温度と、エアコンに設定した温度との差が大きい場合、大きな風量で空間における温度をエアコンに設定した温度に早期に近づける運転が行われる。そのため、特に、低湿度の環境の空間において、エアコンが冷房運転される場合や、雰囲気温度がおおむね10度以上で、かつ高湿度の環境の空間において、エアコンが暖房運転される場合には、その空間にいる人の体感温度がエアコンに設定した温度と大きく異なり、空間にいる人が不快感を催す場合がある。
