A controller controls a radiative air-conditioning equipment which cools or heats space separated from indoor, space by a radiation panel, with an air conditioner, so as to cool or heat the indoor space by a radiation effect of the radiation panel. A data collection unit collects indoor environment data and panel temperature data from an indoor environment measurement sensor and a radiation panel measurement sensor, respectively. A heat quantity determination unit acquires panel characteristics data and device characteristics data, and determines a time-series pattern of a heat quantity to be processed by the radiative air-conditioning equipment based on the acquired data and the data collected by the data collection unit. An operation instruction unit gives to the air conditioner an instruction for operating the air conditioner according to the time-series pattern determined by the heat quantity determination unit.

Controller, radiative air-conditioning equipment, and control method

Perception of the relationship between a comfort level and environmental data is facilitated, and appropriate management of air-conditioning equipment is enabled. A comfort level display apparatus has a preference storage unit to store a preference of a user regarding an air-conditioned environment, an attribute storage unit to store an attribute of the user, an environmental data value acquisition unit to acquire an environmental data value representing a condition in an air-conditioned space, a comfort level value generation unit to generate a comfort level value indicating comfort of the user in the air-conditioned space, based on the preference of the user stored the preference storage unit, the attribute of the user stored in the attribute storage unit, and the environmental data value of the air-conditioned space acquired by the environmental data value acquisition unit, a display data generation unit to generate display data by synthesizing the comfort level value of the user generated by the comfort level value generation unit and the environmental data value of the air-conditioned space acquired by the environmental data value acquisition unit, and a display unit to display the display data.
