  Electricity, gas, water, and other energy resources are basically supplied by different businesses, and in many cases, subcontractors who act as agents for each business are drawn into individual homes. We are undertaking construction work and installation work in the house. For this reason, when constructing a new construction or renovating an existing house, the construction scope of piping and wiring may overlap for each type of energy resource, and construction schedules of construction contractors may be mixed. Often, inefficiency occurs where the pipe is buried again for another pipe work. Also, the breakdown of construction costs and the scope of responsibility may become ambiguous, leading to problems.

  Furthermore, in recent years, for example, household solar power generation devices, household gas cogeneration systems (Eco-Wil) that generate, hot water, and heat using gas, and natural refrigerant heat pump hot water hot water that is widely used by power companies and water heater manufacturers. Equipment (eco-cute) and other equipment that uses energy resources in a complex manner is spreading. These equipment are generally installed in a form that is externally attached to the house body, but the installation work may be performed by the manufacturer of the equipment or its designated contractor, or energy resources. In some cases, the subcontractor of the supplier may do it. For this reason, the construction and management responsibilities of such equipment and related piping and wiring tend to be more difficult to understand. Moreover, it is expected that facility equipment that uses energy resources in a composite manner will be further diversified in the future, including equipment that uses biofuel or hydrogen.

  From the viewpoint of energy saving and environmental protection, it is extremely important to maintain and manage piping and wiring in the house and various equipment for a long period of time. However, the service life of each type of piping / wiring and the equipment connected to them varies from type to type, and the timing of repairs and replacements also deviates. Therefore, in the maintenance management, which construction company will repair or replace in what period of piping / wiring and equipment, and in what part, if any trouble occurs, which construction company It is necessary to clearly divide the work classification and the scope of responsibility, such as whether or not it will respond.

  However, the piping / wiring system disclosed in the above-mentioned patent document unfortunately cannot meet such a demand. Therefore, the present invention relates to various piping and wiring and equipment connected to them, and can divide the construction division to clarify the responsibility for construction and maintenance, and the actual piping and wiring work It is intended to provide an energy resource piping and wiring system that can efficiently perform the above.

  Furthermore, as a concrete connection means for realizing such a piping / wiring system, an energy resource connecting stand suitable for centrally maintaining and managing multiple types of piping / wiring collectively is provided. Is.
