Evaluation of the Estimation Method of Acceptable Room Temperatures by French Residential Data

Abstract

We evaluate the proposed method that estimates acceptable room temperatures, by French residential data. By distributing HEMS sets to 200 French volunteer families, we have collected data of smart plugs and thermometers from April of 2014 to March of 2015. By applying the proposed method to the French volunteer residential data of winter, we obtain 0.4 degree Celsius reduction on average by comparing the room temperature means to the minimum acceptable temperatures estimated by the proposed method. This result indicates that our proposed method may be useful for inhabitants in France, in addition to those in Japan.
