SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Technical Problem

It is difficult to have a target environmental state at a given position in a space. For example, in the case of air-conditioning a space by an air conditioner, the air-conditioning is performed based on the temperature or humidity detected by a sensor included in the air conditioner. Thus, it is difficult to set a target temperature or a target humidity at a position where no sensor is located in the space.

The present invention provides an environment control system and an environment control method that can bring an environmental state at a given position in a space closer to a target environmental state.

Solution to Problem

An environment control system according to an aspect of the present invention includes: a storage unit storing a fluid model inside a space; an obtainment unit configured to obtain fluid parameter information inside the space and an operation state of at least one appliance provided in the space; an estimation unit configured to estimate a three-dimensional environmental distribution inside the space, based on the fluid model stored in the storage unit, the fluid parameter information obtained, and the operation state obtained; and a control unit configured to control the at least one appliance, based on the three-dimensional environmental distribution estimated.

An environment control method according to an aspect of the present invention is an environment control method performed by an environment control system that includes a storage unit storing a fluid model inside a space, the environment control method including: obtaining fluid parameter information inside the space and an operation state of at least one appliance provided in the space; estimating a three-dimensional environmental distribution inside the space, based on the fluid model stored in the storage unit, the fluid parameter information obtained, and the operation state obtained; and controlling the at least one appliance, based on the three-dimensional environmental distribution estimated.

Advantageous Effect of Invention

The environment control system and the environment control method according to an aspect of the present invention can bring an environmental state at a given position in a space closer to a target environmental state.
