Heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, and refrigeration (HVAC&R) systems consume energy. Since the thermal environment is an important factor in determining the productivity of occupants, it is desirable to develop effective HVAC&R systems. I am working to develop numerical simulation methods and experimental devices to analyze the thermophysiological state of the human body and the surrounding thermal environment. Simultaneously, I am developing new personal HVAC&R systems based on various methods and devices.
