    FIELD OF THE INVENTION A system for controlling an environment of a room or of a building, the system comprising: first sensors for detecting values of at least a first environmental parameter of the room or of the room, where each first sensor provides a sensor signal indicative of a selected environmental parameter in the room or in the building, and second sensors for detecting values, or empiric data, of at least a second environmental parameter of the room or of another room or of an exterior of the room, where the second sensors provide a sensor signal, or the empiric data provide data, indicative of a selected parameter in the room or in another room or of the exterior to the room.
    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Systems and methods are known, where various environmental values may be controlled to obtain a certain indoor room climate, which feels comfortable to most people in the room, However, all known system only take physical and directly measurable parameters into consideration, based on an assumption, and possibly knowledge of, of which environmental values are the best for the people to feel physically comfortable,
    SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the invention to correlate physical parameters with psychological parameters, being different to only physical parameters of people in a room.
    The object of the invention may be obtained by a system for controlling an environment of a room, the system comprising: - the first parameter is selected among at least the following parameters: temperature, carbon-dioxide content, humidity level, brightness in the room and noise level in the room, and where - the second parameter is selected among at least the following parameters: data of comfort of persons in the room, kind of activity in the room and duration of an activity in the room, and the system furthermore comprising - control means for changing a value of at least one of the first environmental
    DK 2019 01133 A1 2 parameters of the room, the control means being operated in correlation with the room actuators for actuating the change of the value, and - storage means for storing a plurality of values of the first parameter, each value of the first parameter corresponding to a different one of a plurality of empirically established comfort values of the second parameter of at least one persons in the room, - the plurality of comfort values affecting a psychological effect on the at least one person in the room, said psychological effect selected among at least the following effects: increasing a feeling of physical comfort, increasing a feeling of refreshment, increasing a feeling of attention and increasing a feeling of concentration; where - the control means, responsive to the first parameter values detected by said first sensors and to a selection of any one of the plurality of comfort values, capable of controlling the value of any one of the first parameters for changing the one or more of the first parameter values to values in the set, which corresponds to the selected psychological effect, thereby obtaining an increase in the selected psychological effect.
    An advantage of the invention is that psychological values of environmental parameters affecting persons in a room, performing a certain activity, are taken into consideration, directly, when controlling and possibly changing the first parameter values in the room.
    According to an embodiment of the invention, said storage means store comfort values corresponding to the psychological effect of increasing a feeling of comfort, the effect of increasing a feeling of refreshment and the effect of increasing concentration. Having comfort values stored in the system provides a possibility of controlling and changing the first parameter values based on previous detections and measurement made by the first parameter sensors and based on recorded second parameter values. The first parameter values may be changed, either based upon second parameter values monitored and detected in the same room as where the first parameter values are changed, or based upon second parameter values monitored and detected in another room as where the first parameter values are changed. Such other room where the second parameter values are monitored and detected will be a room with similarities to the room where the first parameter values are changed. The similarities may be one or more of the following similarities: similar physical parameters such as lay-out of the room and interior design of the room, similar constructional parameters such as degree of insulation and use of building materials, similar persons such as same individual persons occupying different room of different premises or same kind of persons, as
    DK 2019 01133 A1 3 example similar ages children in a school class, or other possible similarities between the room where the first parameter values are changed and the room where the second parameter values monitored and detected. Thereby, already obtained empiric data from the other room may be used for changing first parameter values in the one room.
    According to an embodiment of the invention, the system comprises one or more computer program for storing a plurality of algorithms, each algorithm corresponding to a control of the first plurality of parameters to provide one of a plurality of different psychological effects on persons in the room, the plurality of psychological effects including at least increasing a feeling of comfort, increasing a feeling of refreshment, increasing concentration and increasing a feeling of drowsiness, said controlling means being responsive to a selection of any one of said algorithms to control said changing means, and thereby the first plurality of parameters, according to the selected algorithm.
    Algorithms stored in the system provides the possibility of users having pre-stored possibilities of selecting second parameter values and having algorithms change the first parameter values automatically, depending on the selection made by a user. According to an embodiment of the invention, the system comprises a first user interface such as a display installed in the room, the first user interface capable of communication the environmental values of the room to a user in the room for the user to obtain knowledge of the environmental values of the room, and wherein the system comprises a second user interface such as a keyboard, possibly a touch-screen keyboard of the display, for a user in the room to input, into the computer program, changes to any one of the environmental values of the room. Communication from a user to the system provides possibilities of different users selecting different second parameter values, and the system changing the first parameter values as communicated by each of the users. Communication may be visually, orally, audible, tactile or a combination thereof, possibly using a smart speaker. According to an embodiment of the invention, the first user interface is capable of communicating a plurality of possible values of the first parameter for a user to input, via the second user interface, change at least one of the first parameter values of the room, thereby obtaining an increase in an effect selected among increasing a feeling of comfort, one of increasing a feeling of refreshment and one of increasing concentration.
    DK 2019 01133 A1 4 Communication from the system to a user provides possibilities of a user being presented with different options for selecting second parameter values, and the system changing the first parameter values as selected by a user. Communication may be visually, orally, audible, tactile or a combination thereof, possibly using a smart speaker.
    According to an embodiment of the invention, the first user interface is capable of also communicating possible activities in the room for a user to input, via the second user interface, change to either an on-going activity or a future activity in the room, thereby obtaining an increase in an effect selected among increasing a feeling of comfort, increasing a feeling of refreshment, increasing attention, increasing concentration, the selected effect correlating to the ongoing activity or to a future activity in the room. Activities of a room may be an on-going activity or may be a future activity. The activity may require, or may benefit form, certain second parameter values, and a user may select, or the system may decide, the first parameter values for the activity in question. According to an embodiment of the invention, the system comprises means for storing a plurality of possible activities in the room, each possible activity corresponding to a schedule of different activities in the room during a year, during a month, during a week or during a day, for the computer program to change at least one of the parameters of a scheduled on-gong activity or of a scheduled future activity in the room, thereby obtaining an increase in an effect selected among increasing a feeling of comfort, increasing a feeling of refreshment, increasing attention, increasing concentration.
    Activities, ongoing or future, may be scheduled, and the system knows at the moment, or in advance, the first parameter values needed for the scheduled activity, and may automatically change any first parameter values needed for the activity in question. According to an embodiment of the invention, the system comprises means for storing a plurality of possible psychological effects to obtain, selected among increasing a feeling of comfort, one of increasing a feeling of refreshment and one of increasing concentration, and the system comprising means for storing a plurality of possible uses of the room, each possible use corresponding to a schedule of different uses of the room during a year, during a month, during a week and during a day, for the system to change af least one of the parameters of an already on-gong use or of a scheduled future use of the room, thereby obtaining an increase in a psychological effect selected.
    DK 2019 01133 A1 The system having stored empiric data of a plurality of possible psychological effects to obtain, gives the user or the system the possibility of selecting, easily and quickly, among available second parameters values, and thus, also first parameter values.
    5 According to an embodiment of the invention, the system comprises means for monitoring a plurality of possible psychological effects in the room, selected among increasing a feeling of comfort, one of increasing a feeling of refreshment and one of increasing concentration, and the system comprising means for storing a plurality of possible uses of the room, each possible use corresponding to a schedule of different uses of the room during a year, during a month, during a week and during a day, for the system to change at least one of the parameters of an already on-gong use or of a scheduled future use of the room, thereby obtaining an increase in a psychological effect selected.
    The system monitoring a plurality of possible psychological effects to obtain, gives the user or the system a possibility of selecting, easily and quickly, the second parameter values, and thus, also first parameter values, desirable to obtain, in a certain room. According to a specific, possible embodiment of the invention, the system comprises at least one sensor for monitoring a first parameter, and where the system comprises at least one actuator or other control unit for controlling a value of another parameter, and where a Change of a value of the other parameter is controlled by at least one value detected and measured by the at least one sensor of the first parameter.
    It may be possible to use a certain value or a certain decrease or increase in value of a first parameter, such as a noise level, to control another parameter, such as CO» level. Determining a change in, as example noise level, may be faster, easier or more precise than having to measure a value of the parameter to change, such as the CO: level. If, and when, there is a correlation between a change of values in the first parameter and need for change of value of the second parameter, such use may be beneficial.
    The object of the invention may also be obtained by a method of controlling an environment of a room, the method comprising: - detecting, by means of first room sensors, values of at least a first environmental parameter of the room, where each value is indicative of a selected first environmental parameter in the room, and - detecting, by means of second room sensors, or establishing, by means of empiric
    DK 2019 01133 A1 6 data, values of at least a second environmental parameter of the room, where each value is indicative of a selected second environmental parameter in the room, - wherein the first parameter is selected among at least the following parameters: temperature, carbon-dioxide content, humidity level and noise level in the room, and wherein the second parameter is selected among at least the following parameters: empiric data of comfort of persons in the room, kind of activity in the room and duration of an activity in the room, - changing a value of at least one of the first environmental parameters of the room; - storing a plurality of possible values of the first parameter corresponding to a different one or more of empirically comfort values of the second parameter of at least one person in the room during establishment of the one or more comfort values, - the plurality of comfort values affecting a psychological effect on one or more persons in the room, said psychological effect including at least one of increasing a feeling of comfort, increasing a feeling of refreshment, increasing attention, increasing concentration, and - responding to the first values detected and a selection of the plurality of second values affecting a psychological effects, for controlling a control means for changing first parameters to change the values of the first parameter to values in the set which corresponds to the selected effect, thereby obtaining an increase in the selected effect.
    BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The invention will hereafter be described with reference to the drawings, where Fig. 1 is a sketch of an embodiment of a setup of a system according to the invention, Fig. 2 is a graph of some parameters to control by a system according to the invention, Fig 3 is a graph showing control of one parameter value based upon another parameter.
    DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of a setup of a system for controlling an environment of a room. Environment does not only mean measurable parameters such as temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide level and brightness. Environment may also mean less measurable parameters such as psychological effects to persons situated in the room. In the embodiment shown, the system comprises a plurality of first sensors for detecting values of environmental parameters, The first sensors are the following: indoor air temperature sensor 1, outdoor air temperature sensor 2, indoor humidity sensor 3,
    DK 2019 01133 A1 7 indoor oxygen content sensor 4, indoor carbon dioxide sensor 5, indoor static electric charge sensor 6, indoor sound level sensor 7, indoor brightness of light sensor 8, number of persons in a room sensor 9 and movement of human bodies sensor 10. Other first sensors for detecting and measuring other values may be provided, and the sensors listed may be omitted, depending on type of room and depending on use of the room.
    The sensors provide output signals, when having detected an environmental value, or during detection of an environmental value. The output signals of the sensors are transmitted to a host computer 11 of the system. Either one or more of the sensors 1-10 measure the environmental values detected and transit the measured values to the host computer 11, or the host computer 11 measures the environmental values detected Either one or more of the sensors 1-10, if detected but un-measured, environmental values are transmitted from the sensors 1-10 to the host computer 11. The measured values may be stored in the host computer 11 for later analysis or for other purposes.
    When the measured values are ready, the measured values are correlated with values 12, 13, 14 of various environmental parameters, the values either pre-stored or selected by a user of the room. The pre-stored or selected values are specific values or a intervals of values, which should prevail in the room dependent on a choice of values, or a choice of intervals of values, made by a user of the room, or dependent on empiric data of the physical parameters of the room, of the on-going use of the room, of a future use of the room at a certain time of time of day, a certain week, a certain month or a certain year that the room is in use or is intended to be in use, or dependent on other parameters.
    Future use of the room is often neglected when controlling environmental values of a room. Often, environmental values are controlled based on an on-going use of the room, resulting in the environmental parameters not being as wanted during the start of the on-going use, and also resulting in the wanted environmental values taking time to reach during on-going use, possibly affecting performance of the persons in the room.
    As example, a teacher of pupils in a school Classroom may change the environmental parameters just before the lesson starts. The effect is that the lesson starts out with the environmental values, before the teacher changed the values. Because of possible size of the school classroom and possible rate of change of a system for changing the environmental parameters, start of the lesson or perhaps most of the lesson, will not have the environmental parameters chosen by the teacher at the start of the lesson.
    DK 2019 01133 A1 8 The system according to the invention is capable of controlling the environmental values in advance dependent on a scheduled use of the room. Not only is the system capable of controlling the environmental values in advance, the system is also capable of controlling the environmental values dependent on the actual scheduled future use of the room.
    As example, in a school classroom, the environmental values may be controlled to have different values depending on which future lesson is scheduled for the room, the environmental values being controlled either for one kind of scheduled activity by the pupils or controlled for another kind of scheduled activity by the pupils.
    The system is also capable of controlling the environmental values so that the one and same room may be used for more or for other activities than the interior room originally, when build and/or when furnished, were intended for. As example, a school classroom originally intended for pupils to sit at desk reading, writing or listening, may have certain environmental values, which are suited for such purpose. However, if the same room is to be used for activities involving more physical activity, the system is capable of controlling the environmental values for such activity different to sitting at a desk reading, writing or listening. The advantage is that rooms of as example a school! may be used more often than otherwise, thereby limiting need for providing rooms, which some or most of time during a school day are not used, limiting the need for building a school too large in relation to use of rooms and/or in relation to number of pupils at the school. The system may also be capable of searching for a room for a future activity, as example a school class needing a room for a specific lesson or for a specific activity not part of a scheduled lesson or activity. The system is capable of searching for and locating any room available and having environmental values best suited for the lesson or activity, The advantage also is that rooms of as example a school may be used more often than otherwise, thereby limiting need for providing rooms, which some or most of time during a school day are not used, limiting the need for building a school too large in relation to use of rooms and/or in relation to number of pupils at the school. Psychological effect on persons in the room is also often neglected when controlling environmental values of a room. Often, environmental! values are controlled based on physiological effects on persons in the room, resulting in persons getting an increased physiological comfort, neglecting whether the increased physiological effect has a wanted increased psychological effect on persons, especially dependent on what persons are doing or what person are supposed to do in the room at the time being.
    DK 2019 01133 A1 9 As example, pupils in a school class may need different environmental values dependent on many parameters such as the subject being taught during a lesson in the school classroom, the number of pupils in the school classroom and the time of day of the lesson. For example, sitting reading requires one set of environmental values, while sitting, but listening instead of reading, may require another set of environmental values, and not sitting, but being physically active requires still other set of environmental values, all dependent on the parameters mentioned.
    The system is also capable of controlling the environmental values of a room based on empiric data of use of that room. As example, for a school classroom, the system may have pre-stored a table of lessons for a specific room for the remainder of the school vear or for a shorter period of time. The system may also have pre-stored empiric data of how the teacher and/or the pupils have evaluated the environmental values of the specific room during a specific lesson. The system is capable of comparing the environmental values of the specific room during past lessons and past evaluations of the environmental values, made by the pupils during the past lessons. The system is capable of changing the environmental values for future similar lessons as the past lessons, based upon the past lessons having the best evaluation by the pupils.
    Alternatively to, or additionally to, the pupils evaluating the environmental values of lessons, the system may have pre-stored any grades given to each of the pupils, or an average grade of all the pupils, during various past lessons. The system is capable of comparing the environmental values of the specific classroom during past lessons and past grades of each of the pupils or of all the pupils in average during the past lessons. The system is capable of changing the environmental values for future similar lessons as the past lessons based upon the past lessons having the best grade given to each of the pupils or the best grade in average of the pupils.
    The system may also be capable of pointing out to a teacher and/or to pupils, where in the classroom environmental values best suited for a certain activity during a lesson is available. A lesson may have some pupils performing one activity such as reading, and other pupils performing another activity such as writing, and still other pupils performing an even other activity such as doing mathematics. The system may be capable of controlling the environmental values in different parts of the room depending on the activity being performed in the different parts of the room. Alternatively, the system may advise the teacher and/or the pupils, based on environmental values at the moment
    DK 2019 01133 A1 10 during the lesson, in different parts of the room, which parts of the room are best suited for the different activities being performed in the room for the pupils to perform certain activities in the parts of the room best suited for the activities in question.
    The system may also be capable of analysing any control of one or more environmental values and activated by a user, and comparing the activated control with environmental values before and after the activated control, Alternatively, or additionally, the system may be capable of analysing any control of one or more environmental values as actively controlled by a user, and comparing the activated control of some environmental values with other environmental values not being actively controlled by the user. As example, in a school Classroom, opening of a window by a teacher or by one of the pupils is an active control of environmental values, and is indicative of one or more environmental values of the room not being optimal to the teacher and/or to the pupils.
    Opening a window allows air of the room to escape the room and allows air from outside the room to enter the room. Air inside the room escaping the room and outside air entering the room will change one or more of the environmental values of the room such as decreasing the carbon-dioxide level, which may be reason for opening the window.
    However, the system being capable of detecting and measuring various environmental values of the room will have an effect of the system being capable of detecting and measuring, which other environmental values than, as example, the carbon dioxide level is also changed by opening a window, such as temperature and humidity level.
    Possibly, when opening the window, the humidity level may decrease or increase, the noise level may increase (perhaps due to traffic noise outside) or decrease and other environmental values may either increase or decrease because of opening the window, As example, the noise level increases, the carbon dioxide level is more or less the same, but the humidity decreases, it may be indicative of the humidity level in the classroom being too high for the activity taking place. The system may for future lessons with same or similar activity control the humidity level either before the lesson starts, or during the lesson, based on humidity values detected and measured before or during a lesson.
    A pre-stored program and pre-stored data may be stored in a computer memory of the host computer. Output control signals are transmitted to various actuators to control one
    DK 2019 01133 A1 11 or more of the following environmental parameters: indoor air temperature, humidity level, air pressure, oxygen content, carbon dioxide content, air-flow speed, ion- concentration, sound, odour, brightness, light colour, or other relevant parameters.
    Output from the host computer may be communicated to a user such as via a visual user interface. Å computer program and data are pre-stored in a computer memory and include intervals of values to control corresponding to various environmental parameters for effecting how people feel with respect comfort, concentration and/or attention.
    The control of environmental characteristics including temperature, humidity, carbon- dioxide level, etc. in this invention can be implemented based upon operation of a conventional HVAC system (Heating-Ventilation-Air-Conditioning system).
    Fig. 2 shows a graph of a relationship among one parameter such as activity A along the horizontal axis. Activity, as example in a classroom, may be an amount of time spent on a certain activity, such reading, writing or listening during a lesson in school classroom. The more to the right along the horizontal axis, the more amount of time has passed with a certain activity. Along the vertical axis, another parameter may be comfort C. Comfort, as example in a Classroom, may be an amount of comfort, possibly based on empiric data of previous lessons with the same activity and with certain environmental values detected and measured and correlated with the comfort at certain environmental values of the various environmental parameters detected and measured in the room. Through statistical evaluation, as example, the temperature T, carbon dioxide level CO», humidity level HL and brightness level BL, which people at least feel comfortable is obtained as shown in the figure within a comfort zone Z delimited by lines of boundary value limits of the various environmental parameters temperature T, carbon-dioxide level CO, humidity level HL, brightness level BL and/or other environmental parameters.
    Environmental values within the zone represents the favourite conditions for most people. The zone may vary with the time of year, the time of day, the time of week or other changing conditions, Maintaining environmental values within the zone will keep a proper environmental climate for the persons and makes most people feel comfortable.
    Possibly, other factors such as activity and comfort may be monitored and controlled. Also, additional factors to activity and control may be monitored and controlled, such as
    DK 2019 01133 A1 12 energy consumption E of maintaining certain environmental values in the room, and within the zone Z, and such additional factor E adding a third dimension to the graph. Consequently, environmental parameter values can be controlled anytime to possibly increase the comfort of persons in the room, either during the ongoing activity, or because of change of activity, where possibly other environmental values must be obtained to secure a certain comfort of at least the most people in the room. That is, for a certain activity as measured along the horizontal axis being performed a certain increasing amount of time, the environmental values may need to be changed regularly to maintain a certain level of comfort as measured along the vertical axis. Or, in order of maintaining a certain level of comfort, at some point of time, even when controlling the environmental values regularly, the comfort falls outside the domain. This is an indication of the activity has to be changed for the comfort to fall inside the zone.
    Fig. 3 shows how detection of one first parameter can be used to control another first parameter. As example, one parameter to detect is a noise level NL in a room. A low noise level often indicates that no persons are present in the room. A high noise level, or at least a noise level higher than that detected when no persons are in the room, indicates that persons are present in the room. When persons are present in the room, the CO, level will gradually increase, and when the persons leave the room, the CO level will gradually decrease. Detecting the noise level is used for controlling, as example, a system for controlling other environmental parameters different to the noise level. As example, when an increased noise level is detected, an increase in supply of fresh air may be initiated, or a pump for extracting CO: from the room is started, or the pump capacity is increased, based upon the assumption, that persons are present in the room, that the CO level increases, and therefore, that level of fresh air in the room must be increased and/or the CO: level must be decreased. Another example is when an decreased noise level is detected, thus assuming that no persons are present in the room, fresh air supply and/or the capacity of the pump extracting CO> can be increased, so that fresh air is supplied and/or CO, is extracted at a point of time, where noise emitted from the fresh air supply and/or the CO» pump is not disturbing any persons. Noise level used for controlling supply of fresh air and/or extraction of CO: is an example of one parameter being detected and measured, and one or more other parameters being controlled based upon detection and measurement of the one parameter.
    DK 2019 01133 A1 13 The system can control environmental parameters to set a specified comfort of persons in the room through control of one or more of the flowing parameters: temperature, humidity level, air pressure, oxygen content, sound level, brightness, odour, static electricity etc.
    The system can be applied to many rooms.
    As example, in a school classroom or in a working place, the system can provide an environment increasing concentration, to improve working efficiency.
    In a bedroom, the system can provide a drowsy environment to increase people feeling sleepy or to increase people to have romantic feelings.
    In a conference room, the system can provide a refreshing environment to increase the attendants' attention and ability to stay focused listening to a speaker.
    In a meeting room, the system may also provide a refreshing environment to increase any meeting participants' attention and ability to stay observant and engaged.
    While preferred embodiments of the invention have been described in detail, it is particularly understood that the invention is not limited thereto or thereby, and it is evident to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the invention.
