(Embodiment 1)
An embodiment in which the temperature control system of the present invention is applied to a temperature control system that controls the temperature of two rooms in a house will be described with reference to the drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the temperature adjustment system 1 according to the present embodiment adjusts the temperatures of the first room 10 including a window 150 through which external light is incident and the second room 20 where external light is not incident. System. The temperature control system 1 includes a ventilation pipe 110 that allows air to pass between the first room 10 and the second room 20, and a blower 120 that sends air to the ventilation pipe 110. The temperature control system 1 also includes a first temperature sensor 130 that measures the temperature of the first room 10 and a second temperature sensor 140 that measures the temperature of the second room 20. Furthermore, the temperature adjustment system 1 includes a louver 151 that adjusts the amount of incident external light incident from the window 150, and includes a controller 100 that controls the louver 151 and the blower 120.

  The controller 100 is a control device that sends a blow command to the blower 120 and sends an open / close command to the louver 151. The controller 100 receives signals representing the respective temperatures from the first temperature sensor 130 and the second temperature sensor 140. In addition, the controller 100 is connected to the solar power generation device 160 through the network 170 so as to be communicable, and receives a signal representing the power generation amount from the solar power generation device 160.

  The ventilation pipe 110 is a pipe that connects the opening of the ceiling and walls of the first room 10 and the opening of the ceiling and walls of the second room 20. The air in the first room 10 can enter the ventilation pipe 110 through the opening, and can enter the second room 20 through the opening in the second room 20. That is, the ventilation pipe 110 is a pipe through which air between the first room 10 and the second room 20 passes.

  The blower 120 is a device that sends air into the ventilation pipe 110. The blower 120 is connected to the controller 100 through the network 170 so as to be communicable. The blower 120 operates in response to a blow command from the controller 100, and generates a flow of air from the first room 10 toward the second room 20 in the ventilation pipe 110.

  The first temperature sensor 130 and the second temperature sensor 140 are sensors for measuring the temperature of the first room 10 and the temperature of the second room 20, respectively. The first temperature sensor 130 and the second temperature sensor 140 are communicably connected to the controller 100 via the network 170, and transmit a signal representing the measured temperature to the controller 100.

  The window 150 is installed on the wall between the first room 10 and the outside. A louver 151 is provided at a position covering the window 150. The louver 151 is an elongated plate-shaped member assembled in parallel with a gap. The louver 151 is communicably connected to the controller 100 via the network 170, operates in response to an opening / closing command of the controller 100, and can adjust the amount of incident external light incident on the first room 10. The window 150 functions as an opening for allowing external light to enter the first room 10. The louver 151 functions as a light blocking unit that adjusts the amount of incident external light that enters the first room 10 through the opening.

  As shown in FIG. 2A, in the “fully open” state in which all the louvers 151 are housed in the upper part, the amount of incident external light entering from the window 150 is maximized. Further, as shown in FIG. 2B, the amount of external light incident from the window 150 is minimized when the louver 151 is fully pulled out. As shown in FIG. 2C, in the “half-open” state in which a part of the louver 151 is pulled out, the length of the louver 151 pulled out is adjusted, so that the incident amount of external light incident from the window 150 is reduced. Adjust. Further, as shown in FIG. 2D, the incident amount of external light incident from the window 150 may be adjusted by adjusting the louver angle in a state where the louvers 151 are all pulled out.

  Next, the controller 100 will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 3, the controller 100 includes a room temperature acquisition unit 101 that acquires the temperature of the first room 10 and the temperature of the second room 20. The room temperature acquisition unit 101 receives signals representing temperatures from the first temperature sensor 130 and the second temperature sensor 140 and acquires the temperature of the first room 10 and the temperature of the second room 20.

  The controller 100 also includes an occupancy information acquisition unit 102 that acquires occupancy information indicating whether or not there are people in the first room 10 and the second room 20. The occupancy information acquisition unit 102 acquires the operation state of home appliances and lighting equipment (not shown) in each room or the operation content of a remote controller (not shown) via the network 170, and the first room 10 and the second room. It is determined whether or not there is a person at 20.

  In addition, the controller 100 includes an irradiation amount prediction unit 103 that predicts the irradiation amount of external light that is irradiated onto the window 150. The irradiation amount prediction unit 103 predicts the irradiation amount of external light from the power generation amount acquired from the solar power generation device 160.

  In addition, the controller 100 includes an air blowing determination unit 104 that determines whether or not to operate the blower 120. The air blowing determination unit 104 determines the temperature of the first room 10 and the temperature of the second room 20 acquired by the room temperature acquisition unit 101 and the irradiation amount of external light irradiated on the window 150 predicted by the irradiation amount prediction unit 103. Based on this, it is determined whether or not the blower 120 is operated.

  The air blowing determination unit 104 determines whether it is necessary to increase the temperature of the second room 20 according to a preset temperature that determines how many times the temperature of the second room 20 is to be set. For this reason, this set temperature is stored in the controller 100.

  In addition, the controller 100 includes an opening / closing degree determination unit 106 that determines the opening / closing degree of the louver 151. The opening / closing degree determination unit 106 includes the temperature of the first room 10 and the temperature of the second room 20 acquired by the room temperature acquisition unit 101, and the occupancy information of the first room 10 acquired by the occupancy information acquisition unit 102. The degree of opening / closing of the louver 151 is determined based on the occupancy information of the second room 20 and the irradiation amount of the external light applied to the window 150 predicted by the irradiation amount prediction unit 103.

  In determining the opening / closing degree of the louver 151, the opening / closing degree determination unit 106 determines how much the louver 151 is opened / closed based on the temperature of the first room 10 and the amount of external light irradiated on the window 150. Then, it is calculated whether the temperature of the first room 10 can be maintained. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, a correspondence table that represents the degree of opening and closing of the louver 151 that realizes the exposure amount and the temperature of the first room 10 on the condition is created in advance, and the controller 100 is stored. The controller 100 stores the temperature of the first room 10 when a person is present as the set temperature. The open / close degree determination unit 106 determines the open / close degree of the louver 151 for maintaining the temperature of the first room 10 at the set temperature by referring to the stored correspondence table.

  In addition, the opening / closing degree determination unit 106 does not increase the temperature of the first room 10 even when the louver 151 is fully opened, for example, at night or when there is little solar radiation. 151 is fully closed. This reference value is set in advance in the controller 100 with an irradiation amount that the temperature of the first room 10 is considered to rise when the louver 151 is fully opened rather than when the louver 151 is fully opened.

  On the other hand, when the amount of external light applied to the window 150 is small and the temperature outside the window 150 is lower than the temperature of the first room 10, if the louver 151 is open, the first room 10 Radiates heat from the window 150, and the temperature of the first room 10 decreases. Therefore, when the amount of external light applied to the window 150 is equal to or less than the reference value, the open / close degree determination unit 106 fully closes the louver 151. Thereby, it can suppress that the air of the 1st room 10 radiates heat from the window 150, and can prevent that the temperature of the 1st room 10 falls.

  The controller 100 also includes a blow instruction unit 105 that transmits a blow instruction signal to the blower 120. The blow instruction unit 105 transmits an operation or stop instruction signal to the blower 120 based on the determination result determined by the blow determination unit 104.

  The controller 100 includes an opening / closing instruction unit 107 that transmits a signal for instructing the opening / closing degree to the louver 151. The opening / closing instruction unit 107 transmits a signal indicating the opening / closing degree determined by the opening / closing degree determination unit 106 to the louver 151.

  Next, the hardware configuration of the controller 100 will be described with reference to FIG. The controller 100 includes a processor 1010 that executes various processes, a memory 1020 that stores various types of information, and an interface 1030 that transmits and receives information.

  The processor 1010 executes various processes to be described later by executing a program stored in the memory 1020.

  The memory 1020 includes a nonvolatile memory such as a flash memory and an organic memory, and a volatile memory. A control program for a basic operation of the controller 100 executed by the work area of the processor 1010 or the processor 1010, BIOS (Basic Input Output). System). The memory 1020 stores a correspondence table, reference values, set temperatures, and the like that are set in advance.

  The interface 1030 is communicably connected to the network 170 and transmits an instruction signal to the blower 120, the louver 151, and the like, and receives a signal from the first temperature sensor 130, the second temperature sensor 140, and the like. It is.

  Next, processing in which the controller 100 controls the louver 151 will be described with reference to FIG. When the power is turned on, the controller 100 starts control processing for the louver 151.

  When the control process of the louver 151 is started, the irradiation amount prediction unit 103 predicts the irradiation amount of external light irradiated on the window 150 (step S11). Subsequently, the open / close degree determination unit 106 determines whether or not the dose is equal to or greater than a reference value (step S12). In this process, the open / close degree determination unit 106 reads a preset reference value from the memory 1020.

  When the opening / closing degree determination unit 106 determines that the irradiation amount is equal to or greater than the reference value (step S12: Yes), the occupancy information acquisition unit 102 acquires occupancy information of the first room 10 (step S13). This step S13 functions as an occupancy information acquisition step of acquiring occupancy information indicating whether or not there is a person in the first room 10.

  On the other hand, when the open / close degree determination unit 106 determines that the irradiation amount is not equal to or greater than the reference value (step S12: No), the open / close degree of the louver 151 is determined to be “fully closed” (step S18).

  Subsequent to step S13, the opening / closing degree determination unit 106 determines whether there is no person in the first room 10 (step S14). When the opening / closing degree determination unit 106 determines that there is no person in the first room 10 (step S14: Yes), the opening / closing degree determination unit 106 determines the opening / closing degree of the louver 151 to be “fully open” (step S15).

  On the other hand, when the open / close degree determination unit 106 determines that there is a person in the first room 10 (step S14: No), the room temperature acquisition unit 101 acquires the temperature of the first room 10 (step S16). Then, the opening / closing degree determination unit 106 determines the opening / closing degree of the louver 151 to an opening / closing degree that maintains the temperature of the first room 10 at the set temperature of the first room 10 stored in the memory 1020 (step S17). .

  In addition, the opening / closing degree for ensuring the privacy of the first room 10 is stored in the memory 1020 in advance, and in step S17, the opening / closing degree determining unit 106 sets the set temperature of the first room 10 stored in the memory 1020. If the degree of opening and closing maintained is larger than the degree of opening and closing that ensures the privacy of the first room 10, the degree of opening and closing of the louver 151 may be determined as the degree of opening and closing that ensures the privacy of the first room 10. Thereby, the privacy of the person in the 1st room 10 provided with the window 150 is securable.

  In step S17, the opening / closing degree determination unit 106 may determine the opening / closing degree that simply ensures privacy without considering the opening / closing degree for maintaining the set temperature of the first room 10.

  The opening / closing instruction unit 107 transmits an opening / closing instruction to the louver 151 at the opening / closing degree determined in step S15, step S17 or step S18 (step S19). And the controller 100 returns to the process of step S11, and performs it.

  In these processes, step S15, step S17, and step S18 function as an opening / closing degree determination step for determining the opening / closing degree of the louver 151. Step S19 functions as an opening / closing instruction step for instructing the louver 151 to open / close.

  Next, processing in which the controller 100 controls the blower 120 will be described with reference to FIG. When the power is turned on, the controller 100 starts the control process of the blower 120 shown in FIG. 7 in parallel with the opening / closing control process of the louver 151 shown in FIG.

  When the control process of the blower 120 is started, the irradiation amount prediction unit 103 predicts the irradiation amount of external light irradiated on the window 150 (step S201).

  Next, the air blowing determination unit 104 determines whether or not the irradiation amount is greater than or equal to a reference value (step S202). When the air blowing determination unit 104 determines that the irradiation amount is greater than or equal to the reference value (step S202: Yes), the occupancy information acquisition unit 102 acquires occupancy information of the first room 10 (step S203). On the other hand, if the air blowing determination unit 104 determines that the irradiation amount is not equal to or greater than the reference value (step S202: No), the controller 100 returns to the process of step S201 and executes it.

  Subsequent to step S203, the air blowing determination unit 104 determines whether there is no person in the first room 10 (step S204). When the air blowing determination unit 104 determines that there is no person in the first room 10 (step S204: Yes), the room temperature acquisition unit 101 acquires the temperature of the first room 10 and the temperature of the second room 20 ( Step S205). Step S <b> 205 functions as a room temperature acquisition step for acquiring the temperature of the first room 10 and the temperature of the second room 20. On the other hand, if the ventilation determination unit 104 determines that there is a person in the first room 10 (step S204: No), the controller 100 returns to the process of step S201 and executes it.

  Following step S <b> 205, the air blowing determination unit 104 determines that the temperature of the second room 20 is lower than the set temperature stored in the memory 1020 and the temperature of the first room 10 is the temperature of the second room 20. Or not (step S206). When the air flow determining unit 104 determines that the temperature of the second room 20 is lower than the set temperature and the temperature of the first room 10 is higher than the temperature of the second room 20 (step S206: Yes). The air blowing instruction unit 105 transmits an operation command to the air blower 120 (step S207).

  Thus, step S206 determines whether air is sent from the first room 10 to the second room 20 based on the temperature of the first room 10 and the temperature of the second room 20. It functions as a ventilation determination step. In step S207, if it is determined in the air blowing determination step that air is sent from the first room 10 to the second room 20, an instruction to send air from the first room 10 to the second room 20 is sent to the blower 120. It functions as a blowing instruction step to be transmitted to

  On the other hand, if the controller 100 determines that the temperature of the second room 20 is not lower than the set temperature or the temperature of the first room 10 is not higher than the temperature of the second room 20 (step S206: No) ) And return to the process of step S201.

  Subsequent to step S207, the room temperature acquisition unit 101 acquires the temperature of the first room 10 and the temperature of the second room 20 (step S208). The controller 100 determines whether the temperature of the second room 20 is equal to or higher than the set temperature or the temperature of the first room 10 is lower than the temperature of the second room 20 by the function of the air blowing determination unit 104. It is determined whether or not (step S209).

  When the air blowing determination unit 104 determines that the temperature of the second room 20 is equal to or higher than the set temperature, or that the temperature of the first room 10 is lower than the temperature of the second room 20 (step S209: Yes). The air blowing instruction unit 105 transmits a stop command to the air blower 120 (step S210).

  On the other hand, if the ventilation determination unit 104 determines that the temperature of the second room 20 is not equal to or higher than the set temperature, and the temperature of the first room 10 is not lower than the temperature of the second room 20 (step S209: No) ), The controller 100 returns to the process of step S208 and executes it.

  As described above, the controller 100 executes the control process for the louver 151 and the control process for the blower 120 while the power is on. By these processes, the temperature of the first room 10 and the second room 20 can be adjusted. Specifically, when there is a person in the first room 10, the temperature of the first room 10 is adjusted to the set temperature by opening and closing the louver 151. Further, when there is no person in the first room 10, the first room 10 is adjusted to a high temperature. Then, the temperature of the second room 20 is adjusted by sending air from the first room 10 to the second room 20.

  Since the temperature control system 1 according to the present embodiment can send air through the ventilation pipe 110 passing through the first room 10 and the second room 20, the first room 10 and the second room. The temperature of the second room 20 having a small amount of solar radiation can be adjusted without providing a light-transmitting surface between the two. Thereby, privacy in the second room 20 can be protected.

  When there is no person in the first room 10, the temperature control system 1 of the present embodiment can increase the temperature of the first room 10 and use it for temperature control of other rooms. When a person is present in the first room 10, the set temperature can be maintained. Thereby, the user of the house to which the temperature adjustment system 1 is applied can adjust the temperature of other rooms using the living room without providing a dedicated room for temperature adjustment.

  Although the temperature control system 1 according to the present embodiment uses the louver 151 as a light shielding unit that adjusts the amount of external light incident on the first room 10, the scope of the present invention is not limited to this. . The light shielding unit may be a shutter, a curtain, a blind, or the like, for example, as long as it can adjust the amount of incident external light from the window 150.

  The temperature adjustment system 1 includes a third temperature sensor (not shown) that measures the temperature outside the window 150. In step S18 of the control process of the louver 151 shown in FIG. When the temperature of the first room 10 is lower, the opening / closing degree determination unit 106 may determine the opening / closing degree of the louver 151 as “fully closed”. Thereby, it can suppress that the air of the 1st room 10 radiates heat from the window 150, and can prevent that the temperature of the 1st room 10 falls.

  In the present embodiment, the controller 100 creates in advance a correspondence table that represents the degree of opening and closing of the louver 151 that realizes it on the condition of the amount of external light irradiation and the temperature of the first room 10. The example which determines the opening / closing degree of the louver 151 was illustrated. In the present invention, the method for determining the degree of opening and closing of the louver 151 that maintains the temperature of the first room 10 is not limited to this. For example, the function f (Sr, Ta) is created assuming that the amount of external light irradiation is Sr and the temperature of the first room 10 is Ta. Thereby, the open / closed degree Lo of the louver 151 may be obtained by Lo = f (Sr, Ta). Further, the controller 100 may periodically acquire the temperature of the first room 10 measured by the first temperature sensor 130, and determine the degree of opening and closing of the louver 151 by feeding back the acquired temperature.

  In the present embodiment, the controller 100 has exemplified the example in which the irradiation amount of the external light applied to the window 150 is predicted based on the power generation amount acquired from the solar power generation device 160, but the scope of the present invention is limited to this. Absent. For example, the controller 100 may acquire information for predicting the irradiation amount of external light from an external server. In the temperature control system 2 in this case, as shown in FIG. 8, a server 210 is connected via a network 200 so as to be communicable with an internal network 170. The server 210 is a server that distributes information for predicting an irradiation amount, for example, weather forecast information. The controller 100 may predict the amount of external light irradiated to the window 150 based on the acquired information from the server 210 and conditions such as the direction and height of the window 150.

  As described above, by acquiring information for predicting the irradiation amount from the external server 210, the function and object of the present invention can be achieved even when the solar power generation device 160 is not provided.

(Embodiment 2)
In Embodiment 1, the structure which the controller 100 determines automatically whether the ventilation from the 1st room 10 to the 2nd room 20 is performed was illustrated. In the present embodiment, a temperature adjustment system 3 that confirms with a user whether or not to blow air from the first room 10 to the second room 20 will be described with reference to the drawings. In the present embodiment, the description will focus on differences from the first embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the temperature control system 3 according to the present embodiment includes a controller 300 that controls the louver 151 and the blower 120, and an information input / output device 310 that inputs and outputs information. The information input / output device 310 is a device that inputs and outputs information, including a remote controller, a personal computer, a smartphone, a tablet, and the like. The information input / output device 310 is communicably connected to the controller 300 via the network 170. The information input / output device 310 displays information received from the controller 300 via the network 170, accepts input of information by a user operation, and transmits the input information to the controller 300 via the network 170.

  As illustrated in FIG. 10, the controller 300 includes a notification instruction unit 301 that transmits an instruction to notify information to the information input / output device 310, and an operation acquisition unit 302 that acquires a user operation from the information input / output device 310.

  Next, processing in which the controller 300 controls the blower 120 will be described with reference to FIG. When the power is turned on, the controller 300 starts control processing for the blower 120.

  When the control process of the blower 120 is started, the irradiation amount prediction unit 103 predicts the irradiation amount of external light irradiated on the window 150 (step S301).

  Next, the air blowing determination unit 104 determines whether or not the irradiation amount is greater than or equal to a reference value (step S302). When the air blowing determination unit 104 determines that the irradiation amount is greater than or equal to the reference value (step S302: Yes), the room temperature acquisition unit 101 acquires the temperature of the first room 10 and the temperature of the second room 20 (step). S303).

  On the other hand, if the air blowing determination unit 104 determines that the irradiation amount is not greater than or equal to the reference value (step S302: No), the controller 300 returns to the process of step S301 and executes it.

  Following step S303, the air blowing determination unit 104 determines whether the temperature of the second room 20 is lower than the set temperature and whether the temperature of the first room 10 is higher than the temperature of the second room 20. Determination is made (step S304).

  When the control process of the blower 120 is started, the irradiation amount prediction unit 103 predicts the irradiation amount of external light irradiated on the window 150 (step S401). Next, the air blowing determination unit 104 determines whether or not the irradiation amount is greater than or equal to a reference value (step S402). When the air blowing determination unit 104 determines that the irradiation amount is equal to or greater than the reference value (step S402: Yes), the air conditioning information acquisition unit 401 acquires air conditioning information from the air conditioner 410 (step S403).

  On the other hand, if the air blowing determination unit 104 determines that the irradiation amount is not greater than or equal to the reference value (step S402: No), the controller 400 returns to the process of step S401 and executes it.

  Subsequent to step S403, the air blowing determination unit 104 refers to the acquired air conditioning information to determine whether or not the air conditioner 410 is in operation (step S404). When the air blowing determination unit 104 determines that the air conditioner 410 is in operation (step S404: Yes), the room temperature acquisition unit 101 acquires the temperature of the first room 10 and the temperature of the second room 20 ( Step S405). On the other hand, if the air flow determination unit 104 determines that the air conditioner 410 is not operating (step S404: No), the controller 400 returns to the process of step S401 and executes it.

  Following step S <b> 405, the air flow determination unit 104 determines whether the temperature of the second room 20 is lower than the air conditioning set temperature and whether the temperature of the first room 10 is higher than the temperature of the second room 20.

When the air blowing determination unit 104 determines that the temperature of the second room 20 is lower than the air conditioning set temperature and the temperature of the first room 10 is higher than the temperature of the second room 20 (step S406: Yes). The air blow instruction unit 105 transmits an operation command to the blower 120 (step S407).

  On the other hand, if the air blowing determination unit 104 determines that the temperature of the second room 20 is not lower than the air conditioning set temperature, or the temperature of the first room 10 is not higher than the temperature of the second room 20 (step) (S406: No), the controller 400 returns to the process of step S401 and executes it.

  Following step S407, the air conditioning instruction unit 402 transmits a control command to the air conditioner 410 (step S408). The control command may be a command for stopping the operation of the air conditioner 410 or a command for transmitting a command to lower the air conditioning set temperature.

  Next, the room temperature acquisition unit 101 acquires the temperature of the first room 10 and the temperature of the second room 20 (step S409). And the ventilation determination part 104 determines whether the temperature of the 2nd room 20 is more than air-conditioning preset temperature, or the temperature of the 1st room 10 is lower than the temperature of the 2nd room 20. (Step S410).

(Embodiment 4)
In Embodiment 1, the temperature control system 1 which determines the opening / closing degree of the louver 151 based on the prediction of the irradiation amount estimation part 103 was illustrated. In the present embodiment, temperature control system 5 that determines the degree of opening and closing of louver 151 by measuring the illuminance of external light that illuminates window 150 will be described with reference to the drawings. In the present embodiment, the description will focus on differences from the first embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 15, the temperature control system 5 according to the present embodiment includes a controller 500 that controls the louver 151 and the blower 120, and an illuminance sensor 510 that measures the illuminance of the first room 10. The illuminance sensor 510 is communicably connected to the network 170 and measures the illuminance of external light that illuminates the window 150.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the controller 500 includes a dose acquisition unit 501. The irradiation amount acquisition unit 501 acquires the illuminance of the external light that illuminates the window 150 from the illuminance sensor 510, calculates the irradiation amount of the external light incident from the window 150 based on the illuminance sensor 510, and determines the air blowing determination unit 104 and the open / close degree Input to the unit 106.

  Next, processing in which the controller 500 controls the louver 151 will be described with reference to FIG. When the power is turned on, the controller 500 starts control processing for the louver 151.

  When the control processing of the louver 151 is started, the irradiation amount acquisition unit 501 acquires the illuminance of the external light that illuminates the window 150 from the illuminance sensor 510, and calculates the irradiation amount of the external light incident from the window 150 (step). S51). Subsequently, the opening / closing degree determination unit 106 determines whether or not the irradiation amount is equal to or greater than a reference value (step S52). For this reference value, for example, the temperature and illuminance of the first room 10 do not increase even when the louver 151 is fully opened when there is little solar radiation such as at night or rainy weather. Rather than this, it is set in advance as an irradiation amount at which the temperature and illuminance of the first room 10 increase.

  When the open / close degree determination unit 106 determines that the irradiation amount is equal to or greater than the reference value (step S52: Yes), the occupancy information acquisition unit 102 acquires occupancy information of the first room 10 (step S53). On the other hand, when the open / close degree determination unit 106 determines that the irradiation amount is not equal to or greater than the reference value (step S52: No), the open / close degree of the louver 151 is determined to be “fully closed” (step S58).

  Subsequent to step S53, the opening / closing degree determination unit 106 determines whether there is no person in the first room 10 (step S54). When the opening / closing degree determination unit 106 determines that there is no person in the first room 10 (step S54: Yes), the opening / closing degree determination unit 106 determines the opening / closing degree of the louver 151 to be “fully open” (step S55).

  When the open / close degree determination unit 106 determines that there is a person in the first room 10 (step S54: No), the room temperature acquisition unit 101 acquires the temperature of the first room 10 (step S56). Then, the open / close degree determination unit 106 determines the open / close degree of the louver 151 to an open / close degree that maintains the temperature of the first room 10 at the set temperature of the first room 10 stored in the memory 1020 (step S57). .

  The opening / closing instruction unit 107 transmits an opening / closing instruction to the louver 151 with the opening / closing degree determined in step S55, step S57 or step S58 (step S59). Then, the controller 500 returns to the process of step S51 and executes it.

  Since the temperature control system 5 of the present embodiment is based on the measurement result of the illuminance sensor 510, more accurate determination is possible than based on the amount of power generated by the solar power generation device 160 or information acquired from the server 210.

  The above embodiments may be combined as appropriate. For example, the dose prediction unit 103 according to the first embodiment and the dose acquisition unit 501 according to the fourth embodiment may be combined. Thereby, since the irradiation amount of the external light irradiated to the window 150 can be calculated based on both the measurement result of the illuminance sensor and the power generation amount by the solar power generation device 160, the temperature at which more accurate determination is performed. Can provide an adjustment system.
