  • Publication number: 20250067457
    Abstract: A satisfaction calculation device (10) calculates satisfaction with an air quality expressing an air environment of a space. A specific enthalpy calculation unit (110) acquires a temperature and a humidity of the space and calculates a specific enthalpy of the space. An air quality satisfaction calculation unit (120) acquires a carbon dioxide concentration of the space, decides a constant that takes a different value in accordance with the carbon dioxide concentration, and calculates satisfaction with the air quality as an air quality satisfaction (31) by using the specific enthalpy and the constant. The air quality satisfaction calculation unit (120) calculates, as the air quality satisfaction (31), a value obtained by adding a second constant to a value obtained by multiplying the specific enthalpy by a first constant.
