| Research Abstract |
Several experiments were conducted to know the effects of color, vegetation, environmental sounds etc. on thermal sensation and comfort sensation. The results showed that color, vegetation, environmental sounds influenced to change thermal sensation and comfort sensation.
As for the effect of color, warm color made subjects feel warmer and cool color made subjects feel cooler, according to hue-heat hypothesis. In the case of the experiment using curtain, the ambient color influenced the ratings of the non-specific scale of the impression of "warm-cool" or "hot-cold", and not on the ratings of specific scale of thermal sensation.
Environmental sound of "wind chime" made subjects feel cooler or more comfortable at the higher temperature than neutral. This effect was larger in the grey color condition.
As for the effect of vegetation, Draceara fragrans "Massangeana", which people wanted to set in their room in summer, was expected to make subjects feel more comfortable. On the contrary, Epiremnun aureum "Virens", which people wanted to set in their room in winter, was not expected to make subjects feel more comfortable in summer.
As for the effect of slide which showed the open-close condition of curtain and window on the impression of "natural-artificial", the interaction between the slide and temperature was observed.
From the above results, making use of color, environmental sound, vegetation etc. change the thermal sensation or the impression of the room significantly. It will be necessary to know the quantitative effect of them on energy conservation as a next step.
