Temperature wave
Rhythmic temperature-controlled pattern to save energy without sacrificing comfort.
Econavi with Temperature Wave was developed based on an understanding of Thermal Physiology; the 
human body adapts physiologically to changes in temperature. Taking advantage of this understanding, 
Panasonic's R&D Centre has developed the Rhythmic Temperature Control pattern, which offsets the air 
conditioner's performance against thermal physiological responses.
Hence, when Econavi detects human presence and low activity level, Temperature Wave adapts to this 
rhythmic temperature control to realise further energy savings without sacrificing comfort.
How does temperature wave works?
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 
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 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.
