When a seat heater and a planar electric heater on a surface of an interior member are used in parallel, the seat heater and the planar electric heater cannot be heated sufficiently due to a limitation on an electric capacity of a vehicle, and in particular, in a vehicle having good engine efficiency, heating of an interior of a passenger compartment by air conditioning utilizing hot air generated by heat expelled from an engine is not sufficient, whereby there sometimes occurs a situation where occupants feel cold. A heating deviceis provided in a side door panelof a vehicle and a seat heater is made to be heated mainly at an initial stage of heating after an occupant gets in the vehicle, whereas the heating deviceis made to be heated after a predetermined period of time elapses, whereby the body of the occupant can be warmed quickly and efficiently without making the occupant feel cold physically.

An air conditioning seat device includes an air blower, and a dehumidifier for dehumidifying the air sent from the air blower owing to adsorption, and blows out the dehumidified air to holes provided on a skin of a seat through an air duct. In this makeup, the sweat on the body surface and in the clothes is rapidly vaporized, causing a large amount of vaporization heat loss. Accordingly, the human body feels coolness, and steaminess on the skin is suppressed owing to the sweat vaporization.

An oven with a humidity conditioner is capable of cooking food by appropriately humidifying or dehumidifying it while the amount of steam contained in an oven cavity is being regulated. The oven includes a heater or magnetron for heating the food accommodated in the oven cavity, a humidity regulator for regulating the humidity inside the oven cavity, a cooking method selector for selecting a cooking method, and a controller for controlling the humidity regulator in response to a signal from the cooking method selector to selectively humidify and dehumidify the interior of the oven cavity.
