An air conditioner system () runs in a concentration keeping mode to sequentially repeat a first operation of lowering a target temperature to a first target temperature lower than a predetermined reference temperature and a second operation of raising the target temperature to a second target temperature higher than the reference temperature. The target temperature is gradually raised from the first target temperature to the second target temperature in the second operation. Lowering the target temperature to the first target temperature in the first operation takes shorter time than raising the target temperature to the second target temperature in the second operation.

Air conditioner system

An environmental equipment control apparatus for controlling a plurality of types of environmental equipment includes a grasping unit that grasps current physical and mental state information of the user, environmental situation information, and target relationship information representing a relationship between a target physical and mental state and a current physical and mental state; learning control plan output means that outputs a control change plan for each of combinations of the plurality of types of environmental equipment in accordance with the current physical and mental state information, the environmental situation information, and the target relationship information; and a selection control unit that selects one control plan from among a plurality of control plans output by the learning control plan output means and executes the one control change plan. The learning control plan output means learns to update a method for specifying the control plan to be output.

Environmental equipment control apparatus

An air conditioning control device controls an air conditioning apparatus capable of changing an air environment of a target space. The air conditioning control device includes a first information grasping unit and a control unit. The first information grasping unit grasps a predetermined comfort-related value relating to comfort of a subject. The control unit controls the air conditioning apparatus so as to satisfy a predetermined discomfort condition based on the comfort-related value grasped by the first information grasping unit. An air conditioning apparatus includes the air conditioning control device.

Air conditioning control device and air conditioning apparatus

An environmental control equipment control apparatus controls an environment of a target space using a plurality of environmental control equipment. The control apparatus includes a receiver and an electronic controller. The receiver may receive state information relating to states of a plurality of subject persons. In this case, the electronic controller controls a plurality of kinds of environmental control equipment such that the state information of the plurality of subject persons received by the state information receiver satisfies a predetermined target state condition. The receiver may receive a second environmental stimulus given to a subject person other than a first environmental stimulus caused by control of the environmental control equipment. In this case, the electronic controller controls the environmental control equipment such that an influence of the second environmental stimulus received by the environmental stimulus receiver on the subject person is cancelled or reduced.

Environmental control equipment control apparatus for controlling target space

An environmental apparatus controller performs control over multiple types of environmental apparatuses, and includes a grasping unit, learning control plan output means, and a selection control unit. The grasping unit grasps current mental and physical condition information of a user, environmental situation information, and target relationship information between a target mental and physical condition and a present mental and physical condition. The learning control plan output means outputs a control change plan for each combination of multiple types of the environmental apparatuses according to the current mental and physical condition information, the environmental situation information, and the target relationship information. The selection control unit selects one of a plurality of the control change plans output by the learning control plan output means and executes the plan. The learning control plan output means performs learning such that a method of determining the control change plans to be output is updated.
