Abstract
With growing social awareness of the energy problem, private universities have been appointed as type I designated energy management institutes of the Rationalization in Energy Use Law. Doshisha University Kyotanabe Campus also started to promote energy efficiency in university buildings by setting the air conditioner temperature at 28℃ during the summer, which was higher than last year, and heating temperature at 20℃ during the winter to reduce energy usage, and succeeded in energy conservation. The results of a questionnaire survey on implementation of energy efficiency measures revealed that approximately 50% of the students responded that the temperature was adequate, and this number exceeded 80% when including those who responded that it was tolerable. In addition, gender differences in temperature sensitivity and seasonal differences in the class environment were suggested.
