Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a service provider providing one or more apartments having a plurality of rooms to which a service is provided, the amount of service provided to each room and the payment of the fee. The present invention relates to a management method and a management system for collective housing which are managed collectively.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, an apartment house having a plurality of rooms,
For example, in an apartment, residents of each room receive services individually from various service providers based on individual contracts. For example, residents of each room individually receive power supply from a power company, water supply from a water company, and telephone service from a telephone company. Then, the resident of each room individually pays the price of each service to the service provider.

[0003]

However, usually,
In an individual contract, the service fee is relatively high, and the loss is large depending on the type of service. For example, in the case of power supply, the occupants of each room individually pay the power company a power fee under a pay-as-you-go contract.
The electricity rate based on the metered rate contract is much higher than the electricity rate based on the business contract (for example, about 1.5 times at 1000 kWh). In addition, in the conventional power supply method to each living room, power supply loss increases.

[0004] Therefore, in an apartment house, it is considered that the provision of such a service and the accompanying paperwork can be performed collectively or rationally to reduce the service fee or save energy. . However, there is no management method or management system for a multi-family housing that collectively or rationally performs business or office work related to various services in the multi-family housing.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the present situation of such apartment houses, and can collectively or rationally manage the apartment houses, thereby reducing service charges or saving energy. The problem to be solved is to provide a management method or a management system for a condominium.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems A method for managing an apartment house (for example, a condominium, a rental apartment, an apartment, etc.) according to the present invention, which has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, is as follows.
(I) In an apartment house having a plurality of rooms each provided with a service from a service provider, the manager of the apartment house manages the collective use of the amount of service provided to each room and payment of the fee. (Ii) detecting the amount of service provided to each room, and (iii) providing a prescribed service fee corresponding to the total amount of service provided to each room. To the service provider, (iv) calculate the service charge for each room corresponding to the amount of service provided to each room based on a predetermined calculation standard, and (v) calculate the service charge for each room from each room. It is characterized by receiving. In this method of managing a condominium, it is preferable to perform the above-described collective management using a computer. The method for managing a condominium according to the present invention can be applied to both existing and newly built condominiums, but the management method for a newly built condominium is easier to introduce.

[0007] The services to which this method of managing a condominium can be applied include, for example, power supply, gas supply, water supply, sewage treatment, image and audio information (eg, television and radio broadcasts). Radio waves, images, audio, music, etc. provided via cables), telephone services,
Information and communication services (eg, Internet services,
Personal computer communication service, pager (registered trademark) service, etc.), delivery of mass media magazines (eg, newspapers, magazines, books, etc.), daily necessities (eg, food, fuel, miscellaneous goods, etc.)
Supply and the like.

[0008] According to this method of managing a condominium, a service fee corresponding to the total amount of service provided to each room is paid to the service provider collectively. Therefore, the service fee can be reduced for services for which a large fee is set which is lower than a fee (small fee) based on an individual contract. For example, when the service is the supply of electric power, it is possible to use business power that is cheaper than the electric power rate based on the pay-as-you-go contract, so that the power rate to be paid to the power company is reduced. In this case, the power loss in the power supply system is reduced, so that energy can be saved.

[0009] Further, since the amount of service provided and the payment of the fee can be managed collectively or rationally, that is, collectively, such management or business processing can be executed with little manual operation. In addition,
By using a computer or the like, the manager of the apartment complex can check, for example, the billing work for each room (for example, issuing a bill) and the payment status of the service charge for each room (for example, whether or not there is a bank transfer). It is possible to automatically perform confirmation, creation of various statistical data or analysis data relating to the amount of service provided or the service fee for each room.

[0010] In this method of managing a condominium, it is preferable to calculate the service charge for each room so that the total amount is higher than the service charge paid to the service provider. Specifically, for example, a large discount rate (for example, in the case of electric power, a power rate based on a business contract)
And a relatively small fee (for example, in the case of electricity, a power fee based on a metered contract), the service provider pays the service fee at a large fee,
A service fee for each room corresponding to a small fee may be received from each room.

[0011] In this case, the difference between the large fee and the small fee remains as a margin to the manager of the apartment house. The profit can be used, for example, as a management cost or a common service cost of the apartment house. Of course, this margin may be refunded to the occupants of each room. The service charge for each room is lower than the amount corresponding to the small fee if the service fee of the large fee paid to the service provider is higher than the amount allocated in proportion to the amount of service provided to each room. It may be. Even in this case, there is a margin.

In this method of managing a condominium, if the condominium is inexpensive, or if there is some merit even if it is not inexpensive, the manager of the condominium provides at least a part of the above service to each room by itself. You may be able to. For example, when the service is electric power supply, a manager of an apartment house generates at least a part of electric power by himself using a fuel cell, a solar cell, a generator, and the like, and supplies the electric power to each living room. May be. In this case, if the service provision by the manager himself is inexpensive, the margin can be further increased.

In this method of managing a condominium, information on the amount of service provided to each room or the service charge for each room may be provided to each room in response to a request from a resident. This information can be easily provided by using, for example, the Internet. In this case, a resident of each room can obtain the above information using, for example, a personal computer, a mobile phone, or the like. In this way, the resident of each room receives various information related to the provision of the service, for example, the room-based service fee that has been paid or to be paid, the history of the past room-based service fee, and the management of the apartment complex. The content of the service
It can be easily grasped at any time.

[0014] In this method of managing a condominium, the same manager manages the amount of service provided to each room and the payment of the fee for a plurality of condominiums collectively (or unifiedly). It may be. In this case, the provision of the service to a plurality of apartment houses (for example, the entire complex) can be managed collectively, so that the management can be more efficiently performed than in the case of managing the provision of the service to a single apartment house. Or can be done reasonably.

By the way, in recent years, with respect to the commercial power supplied from the power company, when the load factor of the power customer is high, the power rate such as reducing the power unit price based on the application or declaration of the power customer is provided. A system (hereinafter referred to as the “load rate power rate discount system”) has been introduced. For example, in an office building or the like, power consumption is generally high on a work day, but extremely low on holidays such as Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. Therefore, for example, taking the average for one month, the load factor of the office building is not so high. On the other hand, for example, in a building such as a leisure facility that is open almost all year round, the load factor is extremely high. On the other hand, for a power company, when the load factor of the power consumer is high, the power consumption does not fluctuate much,
The operation efficiency of the power generation equipment can be improved, the power generation amount or the distribution amount can be easily controlled, and the power generation cost can be reduced. Therefore, a load factor power rate discount system was introduced to reduce the unit price for consumers of commercial power with a high load factor.

In the method for managing an apartment house according to the present invention, when the provision of the service is power supply,
Since the power of a large number of rooms is purchased at once or collectively, the power demand becomes considerably large, and the temporal fluctuation of the power demand becomes relatively small.
That is, in each living room, the temporal change pattern of the power consumption is considerably different due to the difference in each lifestyle. For example, a resident who is absent in the daytime but usually stays at night like a regular worker, and a resident who works a lot at night and tends to be absent at night but often stays in the daytime, Power consumption patterns are very different. However, if the power of a large number of rooms is purchased and supplied collectively, such various power consumption patterns are flattened or averaged, and the change over time in the total power demand of the apartment house becomes small. For this reason, the load factor of the apartment house increases. Therefore, in the method for managing an apartment house according to the present invention, it is possible to effectively use the load factor power rate discount system.

Thus, in the method for managing an apartment house according to the present invention, when the service is supply of electric power, the manager of the apartment house utilizes the fact that the power load factor of the apartment house is high. It is preferable that the commercial power to which the high load factor discount is applied is purchased collectively from a power company and the power is provided to each living room. In this case, the power can be purchased at a very low cost in the apartment house, so that the margin can be further increased.

Recently, a small, high-performance, relatively inexpensive generator (hereinafter, referred to as a power generator) that can be used by the power consumer side.
It is referred to as a "power consumer generator". ) Is spreading.
For example, a small power generation system using a small gas turbine or the like is already on the market. By using such a power consumer generator, power can be generated at a relatively low running cost. At present, such a power consumer generator is mainly used as a backup power source for important electric equipment of each power consumer. Specifically, it is used, for example, as a backup power supply for a decentralized computer system. It is also used for private power generation by individual power consumers.
If there is surplus power, the surplus power may be sold (for example, to a power company).

However, such a conventional form of using the power generator for electric power consumers cannot be said to lead to much cost reduction. On the other hand, in the method for managing an apartment house according to the present invention, when the service is power supply, all or all of the electric power required for the apartment house is generated by using such a generator for an electric power consumer. If a part is generated by itself and supplied to each living room, the power can be generated at very low cost.

Thus, in the method for managing a condominium according to the present invention, when the provision of the service is power supply, the manager of the condominium may use a commercial power demander installed on the premises of the condominium. Preferably, a generator is used to provide at least a portion of the power to each room by itself. In this way, the power can be generated at very low cost in the apartment house, so that the margin can be further increased.

The method for managing an apartment house is such that power is generated at very low cost within the premises of the apartment house by using a generator for electric power consumers arranged by the apartment house itself. The supply of electric power in such a form is performed only by using the management method of the apartment house according to the present invention, that is, the management method of collectively or collectively supplying electric power to each room in the apartment house. It is possible. In other words, in an apartment house in which the supply of power to each room is not performed collectively or collectively, it is impossible to reduce the power cost. That is,
Such a mode of use of the generator for electric power consumers becomes possible only when the method for managing an apartment house according to the present invention is adopted.

On the other hand, the generator for the electric power consumer is not provided by the apartment house itself, but is provided externally, for example, by a management company,
If power is supplied from a generator for electric power consumers provided by a construction company or the like, the electric power cost of the apartment house cannot be reduced significantly as in the case of the present invention. In this case, the profit caused by using the generator for power consumers whose running cost or power generation cost is low is mainly obtained by an external entity, for example, a management company, a construction company, etc. This is because there is not much reduction on the side.

At present, there is a legal restriction on the supply of electric power generated by the apartment house itself using the electric power generator provided on the site to each living room. However, since such legal restrictions are to be lifted soon, the management method according to the present invention reduces power costs in apartment buildings.
This is an extremely effective means.

[0024] In the method for managing an apartment house according to the present invention, when the provision of the service is power supply, the manager of the apartment house may determine the total power consumed by each room from the power company by a business contract. It is also possible to collectively purchase and pay the fee to the power company, while allocating (imposing) the power fee paid to the power company to each room according to the amount of power consumption. In this way, the electricity rate of each room is greatly reduced.

Alternatively, the manager of the apartment house collectively purchases the total power consumed by each living room from the power company according to a business contract and pays the fee to the power company. The fee may be collected with the same amount as when purchased according to a pay-as-you-go contract, and a difference between the collected amount and the paid amount may be obtained. In this case, the profit can be accumulated as common property of the apartment house (for example, surplus of the management association). In these cases, it is preferable that the manager of the apartment house purchases the electric power consumed by each living room and the electric power consumed by the common part of the apartment house from a power company through a collective contract.

The management system for a condominium according to the present invention comprises: (i) for a condominium having a plurality of rooms each provided with a service from a service provider, the amount of the service provided to each room and the rate of the charge; A multi-family management system for collectively managing payments, wherein (ii) a service providing amount detecting means for detecting a service providing amount to each room, and (iii) a total amount of a service providing amount to each room. And (iv) a service charge for each room corresponding to the amount of service provided to each room according to a predetermined calculation standard. And (v) means for receiving service charges for each room for performing business processing for receiving service charges for each room from each room. It is characterized by having. This management system preferably comprises a computer system. The services to be provided are the same as those in the method for managing a housing complex according to the present invention. In addition, the management system for a condominium according to the present invention can be applied to both existing and newly built condominiums, but a new condominium is easier to introduce the management system.

According to the apartment house management system, as in the case of the apartment house management method according to the present invention, a service charge is set for a service for which a large rate that is cheaper than an individual contract rate is set. You can save money. In addition, since the amount of service provided and the payment of the fee can be managed collectively or rationally, such management or business processing can be executed with little manual operation. According to this management system, for example, billing of service charges for each room for each room, confirmation of payment status of service charges for each room, amount of service provided or various statistical materials or analysis related to service charges for each room. Data can be created.

In the management system of the apartment house,
It is preferable that the room-specific service charge calculating means calculates the room-specific service charge of each room so that the total amount thereof is higher than the service fee paid to the service provider. Also in this case, as in the case of the apartment house management method according to the present invention, if a large fee and a small fee are set, the difference remains as a profit to the manager of the apartment house.

In the management system of the apartment house,
The apartment house may be provided with service providing means for providing at least a part of the service to each room by itself. For example, when the service is power supply, power generation means such as a fuel cell, a solar cell, and a generator may be provided. In this case, if the service providing means can provide the service at low cost, the margin can be further increased.

In the management system of this apartment house,
It is preferable to provide a service information providing means for providing information on the amount of service provided to each room or the service charge for each room to each room in response to a request from a resident. The provision of this information, for example, using the Internet
It can be done easily. In this case, the resident of each living room can easily grasp various information related to the provision of the service at any time, similarly to the case of the management method of the apartment house according to the present invention.

The management system for an apartment house may collectively manage the amount of service provided to each room and the payment of the fee for a plurality of apartment houses. In this case, the provision of services to multiple apartment houses can be managed collectively, so that management should be performed more efficiently or rationally than in the case of managing the provision of services to a single apartment house. Can be.

In addition, the load factor power rate discount system described in connection with the above-described method of managing an apartment house, which reduces the unit price for a consumer of business power having a high load factor, is different from the method of managing an apartment house. For the same reason, it can be effectively used for the management system of this apartment house. Further, the commercially available power consumer generator described in connection with the above-described apartment house management method can also be effectively used in this apartment house management system for the same reason as in the case of the apartment house management method. it can.

Thus, in the management system for an apartment house according to the present invention, when the service is supply of power, the high load factor discount is applied by utilizing the fact that the power load factor of the apartment house is high. It is preferable to collectively purchase commercial power from a power company and provide the power to each room. With this configuration, as in the case of the above-described method for managing an apartment house according to the present invention, electric power can be purchased at an extremely low cost in the apartment house, so the margin can be further increased. .

In the management system for a condominium according to the present invention, when the provision of the service is power supply, a commercial power generator for electric power is provided on the premises of the condominium as a service providing means. Preferably, the power consumer generator provides at least a portion of the power to each room by itself. With this configuration, as in the case of the above-described method for managing an apartment house according to the present invention, electric power can be generated very inexpensively in the apartment house, so that the margin can be further increased. .

Further, in the management system for a condominium according to the present invention, if the provision of the service is power supply, the manager of the condominium may determine the total power consumed by each living room from the power company by a business contract. It is also possible to collectively purchase and pay the fee to the power company, while allocating (imposing) the power fee paid to the power company to each room according to the amount of power consumption. If you do this,
The electricity rate for each room is greatly reduced.

Alternatively, the manager of the apartment house collectively purchases the total power consumed by each room from the power company according to a business contract and pays the charge to the power company. The fee may be collected with the same amount as when purchased according to a pay-as-you-go contract, and a difference between the collected amount and the paid amount may be obtained. In this case, the profit can be accumulated as common property of the apartment house (for example, surplus of the management association). In these cases, it is preferable that the manager of the apartment house purchases the electric power consumed by each living room and the electric power consumed by the common part of the apartment house from a power company through a collective contract.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described below. In this embodiment, power supply will be described as an example of one of the services provided to an apartment house. However, the method for managing an apartment house according to the present invention is not limited to managing power supply. Various services,
For example, gas supply, water supply, sewage treatment,
Provision of audio information (for example, television and radio broadcast waves, images, audio, music, etc. provided via cables);
Telephone service, information communication service (eg, Internet service, personal computer communication service, pager service, etc.), delivery of mass media (eg, newspaper, magazine, book, etc.), daily necessities (eg, food, fuel, miscellaneous goods, etc.) Of course, it can be widely applied to supply and the like. In addition, the apartment house may be an existing building or a new building.

As shown in FIG. 1, an apartment 1a (a multi-family house) includes a plurality of rooms 2a, 2b,.
... (only two chambers are shown in FIG. 1). The rooms 2a and 2b are provided in the rooms 2a and 2b, respectively.
A sensor 3 (current sensor) for detecting the instantaneous power consumption of all the electric devices in b, and a measuring unit 4 for collecting and storing the power consumption detected by the sensor 3 as data are provided. . In the apartment 1a, the sensor 3 and the measurement unit 4 are provided for the common part 20 (for example, a corridor, a stair, an elevator, etc.) as in the case of the living rooms 2a, 2b.

The data is collected and collected by each measuring unit 4.
The stored data is transmitted to the workstation 6 via the transmission line 5 in real time. The transmission line 5 includes a B-net (B / NE
T) is used. This workstation 6
The power consumption of each living room 2a, 2b or the common part 20 and various data related thereto are monitored (monitored) or managed in real time, and these data will be described later via a network 9 (communication network). The data is transferred to the server 12 in the management center 10. As the workstation 6, for example, a computer system "PC / AT machine, Windows NT Workstation" or the like can be used. This PC / AT machine includes, for example, energy saving management support data collection software, an ISA interface board, a transmission link unit, a protocol conversion unit, and the like.

Although not shown in detail, in the apartment 1a, basically, power (business power) is supplied collectively from a power company at low cost according to a business contract, and this power is supplied to each of the condominiums by an administrator. It is distributed and supplied to the living rooms 2a, 2b or the common part 20. Further, the condominium 1a is provided with a power generation unit 7, and the electric power generated by the power generation unit 7 is supplied to each of the living rooms 2a, 2b or the common part 2 via a transmission line 8.
0 is supplied. That is, a part of the electric power required in the apartment 1 a is supplied from the power generation unit 7. In addition, as the power generation unit 7, for example, a fuel cell, a solar cell, a generator using oil, natural gas, or the like as a fuel can be used.

Here, in the apartment 1a, since the electric power of many rooms 2a, 2b,... Is purchased collectively, various electric power consumption patterns of each of the rooms 2a, 2b,. Thus, the change over time in the total power demand of the apartment 1a is reduced. For this reason, the power load factor of the apartment 1a increases. Therefore, in the condominium 1a, it is possible to effectively use a load factor power rate discount system in which the unit price is reduced for a consumer of the commercial power having a high load factor.

As the power generation unit 7, for example,
A commercially available small-sized, high-performance and relatively inexpensive power generator using a small gas turbine or the like, which is disposed on the site of the apartment 1a, can be used. In this way, electric power can be generated at very low cost in the apartment 1a.

Here, not only the condominium 1a but also other condominiums 1b, 1c... (Only two are shown in FIG. 1)
, Power supply management and the like are performed similarly to the case of the apartment 1a. The plurality of condominiums 1a, 1b, 1c,... May be managed collectively (for example, in units of housing complex) and managed collectively or centrally.

Hereinafter, specific functions or operations (processing routines) of the workstation 6 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, in the workstation 6, first, in step S1,
It is determined whether it is real time. Here, if it is real time (YES), in step S2, data on the power consumption of each living room 2a, 2b (power customer) is fetched via the transmission line 5 (B net).

Next, in step S3, data editing, calculation, and the like are performed for each room (for each power consumer). Subsequently, in step S4, the edited or calculated data is displayed as monitor data on a display (screen) or the like.
After that, these data are transmitted via the network 9
It is transmitted to the server 12 in the management center 10. Thereafter, the processing routine returns to step S1 and continues. If it is determined in step S1 that the time is not real time (NO), steps S2 to S5 are skipped, and the current processing routine ends (that is, step S1 is repeatedly executed).

Condominium 1a or other facilities 1
The data collected and stored by the workstations 6b and 1c are transferred to the exchange 11 in the management center 10 via the network 9 (public line network).
2 is input. The management center 10 is further provided with a printer 13 attached to the server 12 and a web server 14 described later.

The server 12 centrally manages the data input from each workstation 6 via the network 9 and stores a database for each apartment (1a, 1b, 1c) (each site) for each room (for each power consumer). To construct. As the server 12, for example, a computer system “PC /
AT machine, Windows NT Workstation "or the like can be used. The PC / AT machine includes, for example, a customer database / analysis / integration software, external communication software, and the like.

The server 12 has a function of accumulating power charges for each of the rooms 2a and 2b (for each power consumer), a function of issuing bills (account management function), an analysis function using real-time monitor data, a function of linking with a web server, and the like. It has. When the condominiums 1a, 1b, and 1c are large-scale, the server 12 may be constructed in the condominiums 1a, 1b, and 1c, and an in-facility LAN system may be provided for linking.

Hereinafter, specific functions or operations (processing routines) of the server 12 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the server 12 first receives data from the workstation 6 in step S11. Subsequently, step S12
Then, by apartment (by site) or living room 2a, 2b
Separately (by power consumer), data is analyzed and edited,
A database is built. Further, step S13
Then, these data are displayed (displayed on a screen) on a display or the like.

Next, in step S 14, web data is constructed from these data, and these web data are transferred to the web server 14. In addition, the data for web refers to each living room 2a, 2b via the web server 14.
These are various data related to the power consumption or the power rate to be provided to (each power consumer).

Subsequently, in step S15, one or a plurality of desired processing items are selected from a predetermined business processing menu. Then, in step S16, it is determined whether or not the bill issuing process is selected. If the bill issuing process is selected (YES), the bill is printed in step S17. If the billing process has not been selected (NO), step S17 is skipped.

Next, in step S18, it is determined whether or not the analysis data creation processing has been selected. If the analysis data creation processing has been selected (YES), the analysis data is printed or displayed on the screen in step S19. . If the analysis data creation process has not been selected (NO), step S19 is skipped. Thereafter, the processing routine returns to step S11 and continues. Here, the billing process and the analysis data creation process are shown as the process items, but the process items are not limited to these.

By the way, as described above, the management center 1
0 is provided with a web server 14. Hereinafter, a specific configuration and functions of the web server 14 will be described. The web server 14 receives web data (various information related to the power consumption or power rate of each room) from the server 12 and transmits the web data via the Internet 16 to the residence of each of the rooms 2a and 2b. Distribution to the personal computer 15 or the like in response to a request from a user (power customer). In other words, the web server 14 cooperates with the server 12 to provide various services such as distribution of power rates, changes in power consumption / history, and the like through Internet access from residents of each of the living rooms 2a and 2b. Living room 2
a, 2b.

Thus, the resident (each power consumer) of each of the rooms 2a and 2b can access the web server 14 by the browser of the personal computer 15 at any time to obtain information such as the power rate and the transition and history of the power consumption. Can be browsed. That is, the web server 14 monitors data related to the power consumption of each room in each of the apartments 1a, 1b, and 1c in real time,
Various services can be provided. The web server 14 has a security function of confirming a service requester with a password registered in advance, and providing information only to the service requester who has input the registered password.

Hereinafter, specific functions or operations of the web server 14 will be described with reference to a flowchart shown in FIG.
Alternatively, the procedure of accessing the web server 14 by the resident (power customer) of each of the rooms 2a and 2b will be described. In this case, as shown in FIG.
The residents (power consumers) a and 2b connect the personal computer 15 to the Internet 16. Then, the resident accesses the web server 14 in step S22.

Then, in a step S23, it is determined whether or not the password is input. Here, if the password has been input (YES), web server 14 discloses various information. In this case, in step S25, the resident (service requester) selects a desired service from a predetermined service menu. Thus, step S26
Displays the service content to the resident of each of the rooms 2a and 2b.

Thereafter, in step S27, it is determined whether or not the resident's access has been completed. If it has not been completed (NO), steps S25 to S27 are repeatedly executed. On the other hand, if the resident's access has been terminated (YE
S), the circuit is disconnected in step S28, and the processing routine ends. If it is determined in step S23 that the password has not been input, information disclosure is refused in step S24, and the processing routine ends.

According to the power management system for the condominiums 1a, 1b, and 1c, the power purchased inexpensively or the power generated by the power generation unit 7 is supplied to each living room 2a,
2b, the total power fee to be paid to the power company is reduced, the power supply loss is reduced, and energy saving is achieved. In addition, the calculation of the power rate of each of the rooms 2a and 2b and the paperwork necessary for paying the power rate are all automatically performed by the workstation 6 and the server 12 (or by the administrator). Therefore, calculation of the power rate and other power rate management work can be easily performed.

In this embodiment, for example, an apartment 1
In a, the administrator purchases power at a low cost in accordance with a business contract or generates power by himself and receives payment of a power fee corresponding to a meter-rate contract from each of the rooms 2a and 2b (collects a power fee). To). The difference between the sum of the power rates paid by the occupants of each of the rooms 2a and 2b and the total power rate actually paid to the power company, that is, the profit, is calculated as the apartment 1a (the apartment 1b, 1).
The same applies to c)). If there is a surplus even after the management expenses or the common service expenses have been covered, the surplus profit is refunded to the residents of each of the rooms 2a and 2b.

Hereinafter, a specific example will be described in which power is purchased collectively at low cost from a power company by a business contract while collecting a power fee corresponding to a meter-rate contract from each of the living rooms 2a and 2b to accumulate a profit in the entire apartment 1a. A method or system for calculating a typical power rate will be described. In the method or system for calculating the power rate, the manager of the apartment 1a collectively purchases the total power consumed by each of the rooms 2a and 2b from the power company according to a business contract, and pays the fee to the power company. On the other hand, an electric power fee is collected for each of the living rooms 2a and 2b at the same amount as when the electricity fee is purchased under a pay-as-you-go contract, and the difference between the collected amount and the payment amount is accumulated.

The main point of this power rate reduction method is to generate a profit by changing the power purchase contract in the condominium 1a from the “consumption-based contract” to the “business contract”. Under a pay-as-you-go contract, the base fee is very low,
The unit price of use increases as the amount of power consumption increases. In other words, this is a rate system opposite to ordinary products, in which the higher the power consumption, the higher the electricity rate.

On the other hand, in the business contract, the basic charge is high (about three times that of the pay-as-you-go contract), but the unit price is constant irrespective of the power consumption (however, the unit price fluctuates depending on the season). Yes.) And low. Therefore, in the commercial contract, as the power consumption increases, the price unit price becomes lower (it becomes cheaper) as compared with the pay-as-you-go contract. Focusing on this point, the basic concept of this power rate reduction system is to change the power purchase contract from a pay-as-you-go contract to a business contract and reduce the amount of electricity bills paid to the power company. .

In this manner, the profit (cost reduction) obtained by changing the power purchase contract from the pay-as-you-go contract to the commercial contract is not directly accumulated in the apartment 1a but directly returned to the living rooms 2a and 2b. You may make it. That is, the total power consumed by each of the rooms 2a, 2b is purchased collectively from the power company according to a business contract and the fee is paid to the power company, while the power fee paid to the power company is paid to each of the rooms 2a, 2b May be allocated according to (in proportion to) each power consumption amount.

In the following, for example, the power consumption per house is 5
For the case of 00Kwh, a specific example of the power rate in the pay-as-you-go contract and the commercial contract will be described. The calculation criteria for the electricity tariff based on a pay-as-you-go contract are as follows. A: Basic charge (up to 15Kwh) 29
5 yen B: Unit price of 15-120Kwh ……… ¥ 18.0
5 yen C: Unit price of usage amount of 120-300Kwh……＠23.9
1 yen D: Unit price of usage exceeding 300 Kwh………＠26.1
6 yen Therefore, in the case of a pay-as-you-go contract, the charge for the electric power of 500 Kwh is as shown in the following equation 1. A + 105 × B + 180 × C + 200 × D = 295 + 18.05 × 105 + 23.91 × 180 + 26.19 × 200 = 111732 (yen) Equation 1 In this case, each of the living rooms 2a and 2b is 11732 with respect to 500 Kwh of electricity consumption. You will have to pay a yen electricity fee.

In the case of directly applying the power rate based on the commercial contract to each of the rooms 2a and 2b, that is, the profit (the cost reduction) obtained by changing to the commercial contract is directly returned to each of the rooms 2a and 2b. The calculation criteria in this case are as follows. E: Basic charge …………… Contract power 1
¥ 1411 yen per Kwh F: Unit price of usage ...............
… ¥ 12.41 per Kwh Therefore, if the contract power per house is 2.5Kw, 500Kw for each house
The price for the power of h is the amount shown in the following equation 2. 2.5 × E + 500 × F = 1411 × 2.5 + 12.41 × 500 = 9733 (yen) ··············· Equation 2

In this case, each of the rooms 2a and 2b has a capacity of 500K.
The electricity fee of 9733 yen will be paid for the electricity usage amount of wh. That is, in each of the living rooms 2a and 2b, the cost of 1999 yen can be saved as compared with the case of the pay-as-you-go contract (11732 yen). Here, the power consumption is 50
If it is greater than 0 Kwh, the difference will be larger.
However, if the power usage is less than 500 Kwh, this difference will be small. Therefore, if the power consumption is too small, it is more expensive than in the case of a pay-as-you-go contract, but it is estimated that this limit is about 350 Kwh. For this reason, as a result of directly applying the power rate based on the business contract, the power rate based on the metered rate contract should be applied to the living rooms 2a and 2b where the power rate is higher than in the case of the metered rate contract.

When the profit (cost reduction) obtained by changing to the business contract is accumulated for the entire condominium 1a, the power rate to be paid by each of the rooms 2a and 2b is the same as the case of the above-mentioned pay-as-you-go contract (11732 yen). The same is true. However, the power fee to be paid by the condominium 1a to the power company is a billing amount (basic fee + usage fee) based on a business contract from the power company. Therefore,
The power fee (hereinafter referred to as “advance amount”) paid by the manager of the apartment 1a to the power company for each of the rooms 2a and 2b is as follows. That is, first, the amount billed by the power company (basic charge + usage charge) is divided by the total power consumption (consumption) of each room to calculate the unit price G per 1 Kwh, and the power consumption of each room 2a, 2b is calculated. The amount is multiplied by the usage unit price G to obtain a reimbursement amount. This reimbursement amount is lower than the electricity rate paid by each of the living rooms 2a and 2b to the manager of the apartment 1a. Therefore, the difference between the electric power fee paid by each of the rooms 2a and 2b and the advance amount is the difference between each of the rooms 2a and 2b.
It becomes the reserve amount of b.

Generally, in a conventional condominium, a power supply contract is separately concluded with a power company for a dedicated portion and a common portion. In other words, the condominium as a whole has a dual power supply contract. And
In the above specific example, the calculation of the electricity rate for the change of the contract type in the apartment 1a is performed by the dedicated portion (each room 2).
a, 2b). However, when the contract type of the exclusive part of the apartment 1a is changed from a pay-as-you-go contract to a business contract, the condominium 1a is not a double-contracted contract as in the past, but is an integrated apartment 1a in which the exclusive part and the common part are integrated Business contract.

As a result, as a whole apartment 1a,
Various energy saving (power saving) methods can be adopted. For this reason, for example, it is possible to use a cheaper contract type newly set from October 1, 2000. As a result, in the condominium 1a, it is possible to reduce not only the power charge in the dedicated portion (each of the living rooms 2a, 2b) as described above but also the power charge in the common portion.

Hereinafter, the method of calculating the power consumption of each dedicated part (each of the living rooms 2a and 2b) and the common part when the common part is also included, and the power rate unit price (1 Kwh unit price) of each dedicated part An example of the calculation method will be described below.
First, a method of calculating the power consumption will be described. When there is a meter in the common portion In this case, first, the no-load loss is calculated by the following equation (3). No-load loss = Total total use amount− (Total use amount of dedicated portion + Use amount of common use portion) Equation 3 where the total use amount is the total amount of electric power supplied from the power company to the apartment 1a, and the total use amount of the dedicated portion is used. The amount is the total power consumption measured by the meter of each dedicated part of the apartment 1a, and the common part usage is the power consumption measured by the common part meter of the apartment 1a. Then, when calculating the power rate of each dedicated portion and common portion, the no-load loss is included in the common portion usage. The power consumption of each dedicated part is a value measured by each meter.

When there is no meter in the common part In this case, the use amount of the common part is calculated by the following equation (4). Shared part usage = total total usage−dedicated part total usage ... Equation 4 Also in this case, the power usage of each dedicated part is a value measured by each meter.

Next, a method of calculating a unit price of electricity (1 Kwh unit price) in each dedicated part (each room 2a, 2b) of the apartment 1a will be described. In the case of using the metered electricity rate In this case, the electricity rate unit price specified by the metered contract with the electric power company will be applied. That is, as described above, the higher the power consumption, the higher the power rate unit price. In the case of using the business amount power rate In this case, the power rate unit price specified by the business contract with the power company is applied (in the above example,
$ 12.41). In the case of making the proportion proportional to the total usage In this case, the unit price of the power charge for each dedicated portion is calculated by the following equation 5. Electricity unit price = consumption rate / total total consumption ... Equation 5 In equation 5, the consumption charge is the condominium 1a
Is the electricity fee to be paid to the power company in a lump. In this case, the no-load loss is borne by the shared part. In the case of a condominium (resident) In this case, the unit price of the power tariff arbitrarily determined by the resident (union member) of the condominium 1a according to various circumstances is applied.
