1.Aim of activity

Automotive air conditioning maintains the temperature and air quality inside the vehicle, taking into consideration the health and safety of the occupants of vehicles operated in a variety of environments. In particular, major issues in recent years include the need for increased efficiency in electric vehicles and the need for thermal comfort for occupants, as well as environmentally friendly technology for heat pumps. Air conditioning systems that control the temperature and air quality inside a vehicle require perspectives and cooperation from various technical fields. In addition to joint research and investigation on technical themes common to each company, this committee aims to promote the advancement of Japan's automotive air conditioning technology and vehicle interior environment control technology by sharing and discussing the latest information in various fields related to thermal comfort and air quality. enhance
