[0007]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective conceptual view showing the entirety of a centralized control system for house equipment, and FIG. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a building having a first floor portion and a second floor portion. A machine room 2 is installed on the first floor portion of the building, and a floor-mounted air conditioner 3 is provided in the machine room.
The blowers 5 and 6 are separately installed. Blower 5 is 1
The floor and the blower 6 are for the second floor, and the ducts 7 and 8 are used therefrom to make the space under the first floor and the back of the second floor hut air-conditionable throughout the building. A total heat exchange type ventilation fan 10 is installed behind the ceiling of the first floor, so that the heat exchanged fresh air is directly supplied only to the machine room 2. The ventilation fan 10 performs central ventilation. Although not shown, individual ventilation fans for toilets are installed on the first floor. 11 is a filter (pre-filter: medium-performance filter or activated carbon filter), 12
Is an outlet with a fan, through which air for cooling and heating can be sent toward the upper surface of the slab concrete 13.

On the second floor, a loft exhaust fan 15 and an outlet 16 with a fan are installed, and although not shown, an individual ventilation fan for a toilet and a skylight are also installed. Although not shown in the figure, the first floor portion and / or the second floor portion are provided with a solar shading device for blocking solar radiation from entering the room, a specific window such as a south side or a north side, and other general windows. As an example of the solar shading device, there can be mentioned a device that partitions the window and the room so that the window and the room can be opened and closed by an electric accordion system between the window and the curtain. The solar shading device, the specific window and the general window are controlled by the instantaneous opening and closing operation when the entire operation is required, and in this point, the control is different from that of the air conditioner 3 or the like which is controlled to maintain the operation continuously. . Therefore, in the case of a solar shading device, a specific window, and a general window, after the control, different operations (opening / closing) can be individually performed according to a resident's judgment.
This makes it possible to easily unify the open / closed state of a large number of windows or solar shading devices for the entire mode of opening and closing.

Although the equipment whose operation is controlled has been described above, a control panel (control means) 17 for centrally controlling the operation of the equipment by performing mode switching is installed above and below the ceiling on the first floor as equipment for controlling the equipment. Further, a mode change panel (mode change means) 18 for mode switching is installed on the side wall of the dining kitchen (DK).
Each equipment such as the mode change panel 18 and the control panel 17 and the control panel 17 and the air conditioners 3 and the blowers 5 and 6 are connected by signal cables as shown by dashed lines, and control signals are transmitted. . Although not shown in the above description, a sensing sensor is installed in each window or the like so that the open / closed state of the window or the like can be grasped, and a signal from the sensor is displayed on the mode change panel 18.

In the mode, the operation of the ventilation and air-conditioning facilities on the first and second floors is arranged into 14 main modes, and only the devices are operated in a unified operation corresponding to the main modes, thereby reducing the operational burden. As shown in FIG. 2, there are provided a closed mode in which the thermal insulation performance of the building 1 is utilized, an open mode in which windows are opened to directly introduce outside air, and a solar shading mode. In the closed mode, 1 is air conditioning throughout the building, 2 is main air conditioning on the first floor, 3 is main air conditioning on the second floor, 4 is weak air conditioning in the whole building, 5 is ventilation only, 6 is out, and 7 is all windows closed and open. Mode 8 is loft exhaust,
9: skylight open, 10: all stop, 11: specific window open, 12:
, All windows are open, sunshade mode 13 is sunshade open, and 14 is sunshade closed.

As described above, the combination of facilities and living activities related to air conditioning and ventilation in the building 1 are collected into 14 basic patterns necessary for real life, and set as a mode, so that Central control is performed so that the equipment can be operated according to the mode setting. Therefore,
Residents pay attention to mode selection in their lives as in the prior art, and are not bothered by the operation of individual facilities.

In this embodiment, a two-story building is taken as an example, but this is merely an example, and it goes without saying that the invention may be applied to a building with three or more floors. The equipment to be controlled includes an air conditioner, a blower, a ventilation fan, and the like, but this is also an example, and it is also possible to use an external blind, a ventilation auxiliary window, an air conditioner installed in a living room, and the like as the control equipment. . In addition, the present invention can variously change and modify the design when implementing the present invention, for example, the number of modes is not limited as long as the number is plural.

[0017]

According to the first and second aspects of the present invention, centralized control is possible so that all equipment in a house can be operated according to the mode setting. In addition, because the control can be done by simple mode selection,
As compared with the conventional individual operation of equipment, useless operation is eliminated, and an energy saving effect can be expected. The inventions of claims 3 and 4 have an excellent effect that the control of opening and closing of a solar shading device, a specific window, and a general window that only performs an instantaneous opening and closing operation can be performed.
