Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine how differences in surrounding environmental conditions affect air conditioning behavior in the summer. As a result of a questionnaire survey, subjects were categorized into groups according to the factors they considered significant in air conditioning behavior. One group was affected by others' eyes, and other groups were affected by factors such as ventilation, heat, and by multiple environmental conditions, etc. The above groups had different opinions on what constituted the best design for a living environment to reduce the use of air conditioners while maintaining comfort. Moreover, it was found that subjects who had received an architectural education tended to take ventilation into consideration when assessing air conditioning behavior, and subjects in their forties and fifties tended to take more others' eyes into consideration than subjects in their twenties and thirties.
