Abstract
A heat control method for a heat control device, particularly for a vehicle interior, is disclosed. The method involves detecting, delimiting and positioning various parts of the body of an occupant (U), measuring thermal or physiological parameters regarding various parts of the body of the occupant (U) and/or the vehicle interior around the occupant (U), establishing a plurality of thermal comfort indices (I), each thermal comfort index (I) corresponding to one of the parts of the body of the occupant (U) taking into account a feeling of warmth or of cold in the associated body part, and of which the absolute value is at a minimum in a comfortable situation, and regulating the operation of a heat control device () to minimize a sum of the absolute values of the comfort indices (Σ|I|) in order to create a regulated thermal environment around the occupant (U).
