A dehumidifying element includes a plurality of sheets that have moisture adsorption and desorption properties and that are stacked on top of each another. At least some of the sheets each have an irregular shape. The sheets each contain a hygroscopic agent having properties of a re-moistening-type glue that exhibits adherence when adsorbing moisture and that solidifies when being dried. The sheets are bonded to each other by the hygroscopic agent.

In an embodiment, a blower for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system includes a blower wheel and a housing. The blower wheel includes backward-curved blades configured to rotate in a rotational plane. The housing forms an at least hexagonal cross- section around at least a portion of the rotational plane, where the blower wheel is positioned within the housing such that there exists a first distance and a second distance. The first distance is measured radially outward from a center of the blower wheel to a first side of the at least hexagonal cross-section. The second distance is measured radially outward from the center of the blower wheel to a second side of the at least hexagonal cross-section. The second distance forms a an acute angle with the first distance. The first distance and the second distance are unequal and less than a diameter of the blower wheel.

An air conditioning system is provided, which includes a transfer fan for transferring air to a room as a space in a house from an air-conditioned room, a motion sensor for detecting whether the room is occupied or unoccupied and an air conditioning system controller for controlling the transfer fan. In the air conditioning system, a target air conditioning environment obtaining section obtains at least a target air conditioning environment of the room, an occupied-room air conditioning environment section controls the transfer fan that transfers air to the occupied room to approximate the occupied room to the target air conditioning environment according to information from the motion sensor and an unoccupied-room air conditioning environment section controls the transfer fan that transfers air to the unoccupied room to approximate the unoccupied room to a quasi-target air conditioning environment where an energy burden is lower than that of the occupied room according to information from the motion sensor.
