Abstract

The climate control unit is one of the most important interfaces between user and vehicle. As a result of increasing attention in the field of user experience, topics as intuitive handling and customer satisfaction become more and more important for climate control as well. To create a new user concept in an easily comprehensive format the alteration of the operating philosophy to a more intuitive and plausible one is recommended. The presented concept offers the advantage that the customer does not necessarily need to grasp the climate control system or its operating philosophy respectively, but just his own experienced thermal discomfort. With the user’s information concerning the discomfort as well as the allocation of these feelings in regard of his body, the climate control improves the interior comfort corresponding to his input.
