In the facility operation support system 10, setting for each operation item becomes possible by checking the execution check box for each item.

  For example, when setting the operation item “cooling temperature setting of 28 ° C. or higher”, first, the implementation check box is checked. Then, appropriate values are selected from the pull-down menu for the set temperature, the implementation period, and the start and end of the implementation time. Thereby, the air conditioning equipment is operated at a set temperature of 28 ° C. or more during the set execution period.

  Similarly, when setting the item “heating temperature setting 21 ° C. or less”, the implementation check box is checked. Then, appropriate values are selected from the pull-down menu for the set temperature, the implementation period, and the start and end of the implementation time. Thereby, the air conditioning equipment is operated at a set temperature of 21 ° C. or lower during the set execution period. Also, when setting the item “lighting off for break time”, check the implementation check box. Then, appropriate numerical values are selected from the pull-down menu for the start and end of the execution period and the execution time. Thereby, the lighting equipment is turned off during the set implementation period.

On the operation item setting screen IM2, a reduction effect corresponding to the setting content is displayed as a predicted value for each item. As for the electrical equipment 301 _to 303 _8, such as another work area R1-R3, can be through the same operation item setting screen and the screen shown in FIG. 6, sets the respective operation items.

  As described above, the input unit 70 b functions as the business mode input unit 71, the energy saving target input unit 72, and the operation item setting unit 73 in accordance with the screen displayed on the display unit 70 a. Therefore, for the convenience of explanation, the input unit 70b is also displayed as a business form input unit 71, an energy saving target input unit 72, and an operation item setting unit 73.

As the user of the facility operation support system 10, for example, an owner who is the owner of the building 100 shown in FIG. 2, an employee who actually performs business in each work area R <b> 1 to R <b> 4 of the building 100, and the like are assumed. And each user can perform the input of the business form and the energy-saving target mentioned above, or the setting of the operation item from the input terminals 70 ₁ to 704 installed in the work areas R ₁ to R ₄ , respectively.

Next, the usage method and operation of the facility operation support system 10 will be described. In this equipment operation support system 10, as a prerequisite to perform the operation plan and actual operation of the electrical equipment ₃₀ 1 to 30 _8, information related to the installed investment performance of electrical equipment ₃₀ 1 to 30 ₈ in building 100 (hereinafter referred to as the operational information ) Is required. As this operation information, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, information defining a consumption characteristic curve S1 indicating the relationship between power consumption and time (date and time) can be considered. Specifically, it is a set of data (t, p) including a numerical value t indicating time and a numerical value p indicating power value. In general, since the power consumption trend varies depending on the season, 365 days of operation information is prepared for each of the electrical facilities 30 ₁ to 30 ₈ as information related to operation results when the facility operation support system 10 is started up. It is preferable to do this. In addition, after the equipment operation support system 10 of this embodiment operates, the operation information mentioned above is the information output from the measurement units 60 _{1 to} 60 ₈ being sequentially stored in the auxiliary storage unit 23, so that The facilities 30 ₁ to 30 ₈ are automatically managed as the database 23a.

In the facility operation support system 10, an energy saving target must be set by a user such as an administrator of the building 100, for example. Therefore, a user such as the administrator of the equipment operations support system 10, the energy-saving target, set from one of the input terminal 70 _{1-70 4.}

The energy saving target is, for example, a reduction target value with respect to past results. The reduction target value, specifically, a predetermined period of time, for example, a year or every month, or for power consumption in the power consumption and the electrical equipment 30 ₁ to 30 ₈ in the building 100 quarterly, future predetermined period It represents the difference in the amount of power used for the. This reduction target value is expressed as a percentage with respect to the past performance. The reduction target value can be individually input for each of the building 100 and each of the electric facilities 30 ₁ to 30 ₈ , and can be set separately for each year or month, or for each quarter.

  The reduction target value is set by inputting a desired numerical value in a cell constituting an area surrounded by a rectangular frame F in the operation table T shown in FIG. This is done by changing the numerical value in the cell to the desired value. The reduction target value input by the user is stored in the auxiliary storage unit 23 by the CPU 21 and constitutes the database 23a.

Under the above-described assumption, the CPU 21 generates the planned curve S2 (see FIG. 8) in consideration of information regarding the business form of the work areas R1 to R4 where the electrical facilities 30 ₁ to 30 ₄ are installed. This planned curve S2 is a curve showing the transition of electric power expected to be consumed in the electrical equipment 30 ₁ to 30 ₈ when the electrical equipment 30 ₁ to 30 ₈ is operated so as to achieve the energy saving target. .

As energy conservation goals are achieved, a method of operating an electrical equipment 30 ₁ to 30 ₈ are various. However, simply reducing the output of the electrical equipment ₃₀ 1 to 30 _8, so that the comfort in a work area R1~R4 is impaired. Therefore, the CPU 21 generates the planned curve S2 in consideration of information on the business form input from the business form input unit 71.

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of the planned curve S2. As seen with reference to FIG. 8, a usage of the work area R4 is a store, when opening hours of the store is from time t ₁ to time t ₂ is to emphasize the comfort degree of the visitor, between the time t ₁ to time t _2, the driving electrical equipment 30 ₄ equivalent amount of power and results to date. Then, in the time period from the time t ₁ except for the time t ₂ when the store is closed, the assumption that energy-saving operation of the electrical equipment 30 _4, a plan curve S2 for operating the electrical equipment 30 ₁ to 30 ₈ Generate.

For example, as can be seen by referring to the business form input screen IM1 shown in FIG. 4, when the store opening time of the work area R4 is from 9:00 to 17:00, the CPU 21 performs the electrical installation from 9:00 to 17:00. 30 ₄ are operated at actual equivalent amount of power to this, in the other time periods, electrical equipment 30 _4, as operated with less power than historical experience, to produce a plan curve S2 .

Then, CPU 21, together with the reference curve ST showing a change in the power (planned value) consumed by the electrical equipment ₃₀ 1 to 30 ₈ when ideal operational is made, the generated plan curve S2, the electrical equipment 30 ₁ as the operational plan to 30 _8, and displays on the display portion 70a of the input terminal ₇₀ 1 to 70 _4.

  Of the information relating to the business form, information relating to business days, busy periods, quiet periods, busy hours, etc. may be used as appropriate in order to generate the planned curve S2 by weighting according to the use form of the work area. it can.

The user can display the planned curve S2 by switching the scale of the horizontal axis to, for example, the scale of daily unit, monthly unit or year unit. Thus, for example, by comparing the reference curve ST and planning curve S2, the electrical equipment 30 _4, energy-saving effect of such one-year or one month when operated over a certain period of time, it is possible to visually recognize . Further, it is possible to confirm that the electrical equipment 30 ₁ to 30 ₈ are operated by electric power represented by the plan curve S2 of the operational plan.

  Here, for example, while confirming the degree of difference between the reference curve ST and the planned curve S2, the user changes implementation, non-implementation, or changes the contents of each item for each operation item shown in FIG. Thus, the transition of the planned curve S2 can be adjusted.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 9A, when the planned curve S2 displayed with the horizontal axis scale as one year exceeds the reference curve ST as a whole, the user can select, for example, an operation item setting screen. Check the implementation check box for the item “lighting off for break time” displayed in IM2. Next, by setting the implementation period from January to December, the planned curve S2 can be moved downward relative to the reference curve ST, as can be seen from FIG. 9B. Further, when the planned curve S2 is in the state shown in FIG. 9B, the user checks, for example, the check box for the implementation of the item “cooling temperature setting of 28 ° C. or higher” and sets the set temperature to 28 ° C. And Next, by setting the implementation period from July to September, as can be seen with reference to FIG. 9C, the portion related to July to September of the planned curve S2 can be flattened. Similarly, for example, the user checks the implementation check box for the item “heating temperature setting 21 ° C. or less” and sets the set temperature to 20 ° C. Next, by setting the implementation period from November to December, as can be seen with reference to FIG. 9C, the portion related to November to December of the planned curve S2 can be flattened.

  The user adjusts the shape and position of the planned curve S2 by executing the above-described operation while changing the setting contents while paying attention to the positional relationship between the planned curve S2 and the reference curve ST shown on the display unit 70a. can do. Thereby, an optimal operation plan can be drawn up.

Then, CPU 21, to the operation unit ₅₀ 1 to 50 _8, so that power consumption in accordance with the electrical equipment ₃₀ 1 to 30 ₈ Planning curve S2, which are generated for each of transitions, each electrical equipment ₃₀ 1 to 30 ₈ Instruct them to drive. Thereby, each of the electrical equipment 30 ₁ to 30 ₈ is operated according to the operation plan.

As described above, in the facility operation support system 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, information regarding the business mode of the work areas R1 to R4 where the electrical facilities 30 ₁ to 30 ₈ are installed is acquired. Then, the electrical equipment ₃₀ 1 to 30 _8, the operation plan of information concerning the business form of the work area R1~R4 is considering is planned. Thereby, it becomes possible to make an operation plan according to the business form of each work area R1 to R4.

Moreover, the facilities operations support system 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, based on the operation schedule information about the business form of the work area R1~R4 is consideration, electrical equipment 30 ₁ to 30 ₈ is operated The As a result, it is possible to efficiently operate the electrical facilities 30 ₁ to 30 ₈ without reducing business efficiency.

In facilities operations support system 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, it is assumed that operation schedule is displayed on the display unit 70a of the input terminal 70 ₁ to 70 _4, in addition to this, the input terminal 70 etc. place printer corresponding to _{1-70 4,} operation planning, may be able to print the energy-saving target value and the like.

  The business form input screen IM1 in the facility operation support system 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is an example. For example, regarding the business day, the CPU 21 has information on whether it is a form focusing on weekdays or a form centered on weekends and holidays, and a seasonal element, for example, a business form centering on summer or a center on winter. It is good also as acquiring the information of whether it is a sales form to do as information regarding a business form. Further, when the work area is an office, the CPU 21 acquires, as information on the business form, information such as whether the employee is in a permanent business form or whether most of the business hours are out. Also good. Further, the CPU 21 may acquire information such as the size of the work area, the number of employees, the regularity of business hours, and the business form that handles food as information related to the business form.
