Publication number: 20230258365Abstract: An environment control system includes a louver (20a), a motor (21), a temperature sensor (40), a determination unit (53), and a control unit (55). The determination unit (53) determines a position of a person in a particular area on the basis of data of surface temperatures detected by the temperature sensor (40). The control unit (55) controls the motor (21) in such a manner that an angular velocity of the louver (20a) becomes smaller as the position determined by the determination unit (53) is farther from the outlet (18b) when air from an outlet (18b) is blown toward the position.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2020Publication date: August 17, 2023Inventors: Kohei HISANO, Mari ORITO, Takuya FURUHASHI, Ryo FUSHIE, Satoshi MINEZAWA, Marika HARAMAKI

Publication number: 20230151995Abstract: An environmental control system includes an air conditioner body (1), a human body detector for detecting a human body, and a system controller for controlling the air conditioner body (1). The system controller executes a first control when a distance from a human body detected by the human body detector to the air conditioner body (1) is a first distance, and executes a second control when a distance from a human body detected by the human body detector to the air conditioner body (1) is a second distance larger than the first distance. The air conditioner body (1) blows air from one of the air outlets 20 toward the human body detected by the human body detector when the first control is executed, and blows air from at least two air outlets (20) toward a human body detected by the human body detector when the second control is executed.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2020Publication date: May 18, 2023Inventors: Marika HARAMAKI, Mari ORITO, Ryo FUSHIE, Kohei HISANO, Satoshi MINEZAWA, Takuya FURUHASHI
