New temperature wave
Rhythmic temperature-controlled pattern to save energy without sacrificing comfort.
New Econavi with Temperature Wave was developed based on an understanding in Thermal Physiology;
human body adapts physiologically to changes in temperature. Taking advantage of this understanding in
Thermal Physiology, Panasonic Research and Development Centre developed Rhythmic Temperature
Control pattern which would offset thermal physiological response.
Hence, when Econavi detects human presence and low activity level, Temperature Wave adapts to this
rhythmic temperature control to realise further energy saving without sacrificing comfort.

The result of the experiment showed that thermal sensation was maintained within the comfortable range* even though average set temperature was moderately increased. Hence, when

*The thermal condition of which PMV (Predicted Mean Value) is within -0.5 to +0.5 is recommended as comfortable condition (in the condition B) by International Standard EN ISO 7730.
