Abstract
In the course of this study, we have developed an algorithm for outputting the optimum suitable temperature for indoor thermal environments by inputting the mathematical elements of the predicted mean vote (PMV), which is a thermal comfort index, in order to create better thermal environments. We also developed software for the execution of this algorithm. The validity of this algorithm was then confirmed through simulations for the output of optimum temperature using this software. Furthermore, this software was implemented in a DDC controller, and a prototype control unit incorporating this DDC controller was fabricated. A verification test was performed using actual equipment with this control unit, and the potential of this air-conditioning control system has been confirmed using the optimum temperature output as the desired value.
