Abstract

This suppresses the excessive supply of heated air to the drying room where laundry is hung to dry. [Solution] The indoor drying system comprises an air conditioning unit that supplies heated air to the underfloor space, a louver 30 installed on the floor 15 of the drying room 12, four shutters 81, 82, 83, and 84 that open and close four areas 41, 42, 43, and 44 of the louver 30, a weight sensor 66, and a control device. A pole 34 is installed directly above the louver 30. The weight sensor 66 detects the weight of the laundry hung in the four drying areas 51, 52, 53, and 54 located directly above areas 41, 42, 43, and 44. Based on the weight of the laundry detected by the weight sensor 66, the control device determines whether the drying speed of the laundry in each drying area 51, 52, 53, and 54 is faster than the overall average drying speed. The control device changes the shutters corresponding to the drying areas where it has determined that the drying speed of the laundry is faster than the overall average drying speed from fully open to half-open.
