“…The authors reported on the degree of habits and consciousness of residents living in low room temperatures in Sapporo, Kyoto, and Naha. Sawachi et al 9 . also considered that the occurrence of air conditioning behavior depends not only on the thermal environment but also on behavioral conditions and consciousness factors.…”

“…It has been reported 33 that old machiya houses still remain in Kyoto , where people cherish their traditional lifestyles while accepting the changes of nature, and these customs are thought to have remained. Since the previously reported 9,10 may be specific to the regions noted, this report adds survey data to verify whether the same can be said of other regions. In other words, the purpose of this report is to analyze survey data on behavior conducted to obtain warmth in detached house residents in Kyoto , Hiroshima , and Aichi and to examine the validity of the categorization and the influence of psychological factors on the mitigation of coldness, satisfaction with housing, and sense of comfort.…”

“…In general, the sensation of thermal discomfort is determined by the heat balance between the ambient environment and the human body, but in reality, it has been reported that occupants tolerate a thermal environment that deviates from the range considered comfortable by office air conditioning. [9][10][11] In regard to factors that should be considered in this situation, Hasegawa et al 12 showed that people have a sense of "it is natural to be cold," and Umemiya et al 13 showed that lifestyle habits and body physical constitution are related. Sawashima et al 14 and Miyata et al 15 showed that residents use ventilation, sprinkled water, and sudare (bamboo screens) to prevent heat, and Oya et al 16 showed that they frequently adjust the air conditioning to overcome cold or heat.…”

The categoraization employed for Kyoto residents' consciousness, values, and physical constitution described in the previous report was also applied to Hiroshima and Aichi, and the validity of the categoraization was confirmed. The findings of this study can be summarized as follows: (1) The questions on the residents' consciousness, values, and physical constitution were highly independent, and the first principal component, “the importance of values, such as environmental protection, traditions, and seasonality,” and the second component, “tolerance/patience with cold weather,” were found to be applicable to Hiroshima and Aichi, as well as to Kyoto. (2) The two principal components were used to categorize residents into four groups in each of the study areas, and the characteristics of each group were reviewed. Trends in the three areas were similar, but there were also trends unique to Hiroshima and Aichi, where consciousness and values prioritizing the environment and nature conservation were observed. (3) We consider that observing environmental regulation behavior with a focus on the consciousness, values, and physical constitution of residents may provide clues to understanding the diversity of living styles. This leads to the identification of individual differences in adaptive behavior toward the thermal environment.

“…The stochastic model of occupant behaviours is one of the major parts of research. The stochastic models of occupant behaviours were analysed by many previous researches around the world [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Habara et al [2,4] studied air conditioning use in Japanese dwellings.…”

Thermal adjustment is one of the most important behaviours. In daily life, we use some behavioural adjustments. It is not always obtained the optimal condition by the thermal adjustments. For example, it happens to use excessive air conditioning for thermal adjustments. Especially, the excessive air conditioning use is important issue not only for the human comfort but also for the energy use. The occupant behaviour stochastic model was proposed by some previous researches around the world. However, these models show only the state of the occupant behaviour, and thus the excessive adjustments are not known. The objective of this research is to clarify quantitatively the excessive thermal adjustments which are happened to be in the stochastic model. The thermal measurement and occupant behaviour survey was conducted in 120 dwellings during 4 years period in Kanto region of Japan. The number of samples collected was 36,114. We analysed the occupant behaviour stochastic model of the excessive cooling and heating use. The thermal sensation vote (TSV) and the thermal preference vote (TP) were used to classify the excessive air conditioning use. The proportion of excessive cooling use were increased when outdoor air temperature was increased. In addition, there were no significant difference between TSV and TP for calculating the proportion of the excessive air conditioning use in Japanese dwellings. These models are useful to understand the possibility of the energy saving. In the future, the model will be implemented in the building thermal simulation to predict the energy use in building.
