Abstract
A temperature comfort sensing device and a method for manufacturing the same, capable of achieving comfortable air conditioning by detecting an average temperature comfort sensitivity to a room environment and thus analogizing a correct predicted mean vote value. The temperature comfort sensing device comprises a lower diaphragm having a thin film heater and a temperature sensor, and an upper diaphragm having a plurality of thermocouples, a room temperature sensor and a black body. Alternatively, the temperature comfort sensing device comprises a single diaphragm having a thin film heater and a temperature sensor. Directly formed over the single diaphragm are a plurality of thermocouples, a room temperature sensor and a black body. The sensor is based on a model of the human body, with the thin film heater corresponding to an internal heat exchanging mechanism of a human being. The thermocouples serve to sense a skin temperature condition.
