| Research Abstract |
Energy must be consumed, e.g. for air conditioning, to mitigate impacts of air temperature increases on health, such as sleep disturbance. We examined the direction of a measure that balances health impacts and energy consumption. Medical knowledge about health impacts was investigated, surveys on fatigue and sleep disturbance were conducted, and the relations of air temperature rise with health impact, fitness habits, and air-conditioning use were analyzed.
Results show that the measure to mitigate sleep disturbance requires comprehensive consideration of air conditioning use, health conditions, and the relation between sleep and fatigue.
We also assessed the effects of measures to reduce peak electricity demand in summer. Results indicate that scheduled power outages are unlikely to reduce peak electricity demand because the rise in room temperature during the power outage would result in a larger increase in electricity demand by air conditioning when the power supply is returned.
