In highly insulated houses with passive ventilation system that are widely used in cold regions (Hokkaido), "open cooling (OC)" in summer is considered to be advantageous for the thermal comfort of the occupants. However, there are no proven cases in warmer climates such as Tokyo.
Thermal environment measurements and sensory tests on two occupants of a house in Mitaka, Tokyo, were made from August to September 2022. The occupants' cognitive temperature was 25 to 27°C, with 90% of their votes of "comfortable" and the remaining 10% of "not uncomfortable". Most of the time was spent in the "OC" mode by the occupants.
