The notification unit 25 transmits information that associates the position ID read in step S110 with the environment preference information read in step S115 to the device interlocking control device 30 (step S120).

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a processing flow of the device interlocking control device 30 in the environment interlocking control system. In the storage unit 31 of the device interlocking control device 30, power consumption information and device position information are registered in advance. The power consumption information includes illumination power consumption information that associates the light control rate with the power consumption of the illumination 50b, and air conditioning power consumption information that associates the heat load with the power consumption of the air conditioning 50c. The device position information includes information in which the illumination ID that identifies each illumination 50b is associated with the position ID, and information in which the air outlet ID that identifies the air outlet 51c of the air conditioner 50c is associated with the position ID.

  The environment preference information receiving unit 32 of the device interlocking control device 30 receives the position ID and the environment preference information from the personal position detection device 20 (step S205). The power consumption calculation unit 35 reads the illuminance and the air conditioning temperature from all the environmental preference information received in step S205, calculates the average value of the illuminance and the average value of the air conditioning temperature, and calculates these as the target illuminance and the target air conditioning temperature, respectively. (Step S210).

  The power consumption calculation unit 35 uses the measured value of the office environment detected by the indoor condition receiving unit 33 and the measured value of the outside air environment detected by the outside air condition receiving unit 34 to change the blind 50a to a different state. The illuminance and heat load of the entire office at the current time are calculated (step S215). For the calculation of daylight illuminance, for example, a technique described in JP-A-2008-266900, a technique described in http://www.yp-i.co.jp/program/soft_daylighting.html, or the like can be used. . In addition, for example, the technology described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2008-266900 or the technology described in http://www.serl.co.jp/product/assist/about_note.html is used for calculating the heat load. Can do.

When using the technique described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2008-266900, the power consumption calculation unit 35 calculates a profile angle from the altitude and direction of the sun obtained from the current time, the latitude and longitude of the building, and the direction of the office window surface. To do. Next, the power consumption calculation unit 35 calculates the inside of the office by direct sunlight and scattered sunlight based on the profile angle, the area of the office window, the direct solar radiation shielding coefficient and the diffuse solar radiation shielding coefficient corresponding to the blind state, the total solar radiation amount, and the like. Calculate solar radiation load. Furthermore, the power consumption calculation unit 35 calculates the heat flow rate from the room to the outdoor based on the heat flow rate corresponding to the difference between the outside air temperature and the room temperature, the window area, and the blind state, and the solar heat load is calculated from the heat flow rate. Subtract to calculate heat loss (heat load).
In addition, the power consumption calculation unit 35 calculates direct illuminance and sky illuminance from the amount of direct sunlight and diffuse solar radiation, profile angle, office shape, and the reflection corresponding to the calculated direct illuminance and sky illuminance and blind state ( The daylight illuminance in the office is calculated in consideration of the illuminance of light directly entering the office, the illuminance of light reflected on the floor, and the illuminance of light reflected on the ceiling from the blind luminance distribution function.
The room temperature used for the calculation is obtained by the indoor condition receiving unit 33, and the outside air temperature and the total solar radiation amount are obtained by the outside air condition receiving unit 34. In addition, the setting values used for calculating daytime illuminance and thermal load, such as information on buildings and windows, direct solar radiation shielding coefficient and diffuse solar radiation shielding coefficient based on blind conditions, thermal transmissivity, reflection, etc. are registered in the storage unit 31 in advance. Keep it.
In addition, about the calculation method of daylight illumination intensity and a heat load, not only the above but the existing arbitrary techniques are applicable.

Next, the power consumption calculation unit 35 calculates the difference between the target illuminance and each daylight illuminance calculated corresponding to each blind state, and the illuminance that the illumination 50b has to supplement to obtain the target illuminance. The light control rate is calculated. The power consumption calculation unit 35 reads the power consumption corresponding to each dimming rate calculated for each blind state from the illumination power consumption information of the storage unit 31 (step S220).
Furthermore, the power consumption calculation unit 35 calculates a thermal load for setting the air conditioning 50c to the target air conditioning temperature using each thermal load calculated corresponding to each blind state. The power consumption calculation unit 35 reads the power consumption corresponding to the calculated heat load from the air conditioning power consumption information of the storage unit 31 (step S225).

For each blind state, the power consumption calculation unit 35 adds the power consumption of the illumination 50b and the power consumption of the air conditioning 50c to calculate the predicted total power consumption (step S230). The control instruction unit 36 selects the blind state corresponding to the lowest predicted total power consumption calculated in step S230 as the control value of the blind 50a (step S235). The control instruction unit 36 transmits blind control information in which the blind state selected in step S235 is set as a control value to the blind control device 40a (step S240).
The blind control device 40a controls the blind 50a according to the blind state set in the received blind control information.

The control instruction unit 36 transmits to the illumination control device 40b the illumination control information in which the dimming rate of the entire illumination 50b, the individually controlled illumination 50b and the dimming rate are set (step S245). As the dimming rate of the entire illumination 50b, the difference between the target illuminance calculated in step S210 and the daylight illuminance calculated for the blind state selected in step S235 is set. Moreover, the illumination ID read from the apparatus position information stored in the storage unit 31 corresponding to the position ID received in step S205 is set as the individual control target illumination 50b, and the dimming of the individual control target illumination 50b is set. As the rate, the difference between the illuminance indicated by the environment preference information corresponding to the position ID and the daylight illuminance calculated for the blind state selected in step S235 is set.
The illumination control device 40b controls the dimming rate of the illumination 50b specified by the illumination ID included in the illumination control information to the dimming rate corresponding to the illumination ID, and the illumination control information includes all the other illuminations 50b. The dimming rate of the entire illumination 50b is controlled.

  Subsequently, the control instruction unit 36 transmits the air conditioning control information in which the air conditioning temperature of the air conditioning 50c, the outlet 51c to be individually controlled, and the control content thereof are set to the air conditioning control device 40c (step S250). The air conditioning temperature of the air conditioning 50c is the target temperature calculated in step S210. Further, the outlet 51c to be individually controlled and its control are determined as follows and set in the air conditioning control information.

When the air conditioning 50c is in the cooling operation, the control instruction unit 36 selects the target air conditioning temperature indicated in the environmental preference information corresponding to the position ID among the position IDs received in step S205, which is calculated in step S210. A position ID lower than the air conditioning temperature is extracted. On the other hand, when the air conditioning 50c is in the heating operation, the control instruction unit 36 calculates the preferred air conditioning temperature indicated by the environmental preference information corresponding to the position ID among the position IDs received in step S205 in step S210. A position ID higher than the target air conditioning temperature is extracted. The control instructing unit 36 includes an outlet ID read out from the device position information stored in the storage unit 31 corresponding to the extracted position ID, and the outlet opening as the outlet 51c to be individually controlled and its control content. Is set in the air conditioning control information. The air volume corresponding to the difference between the preferred air conditioning temperature and the target air conditioning temperature may be used as the control amount. Information about whether the air-conditioning 50c is in cooling operation or heating operation is registered in the storage unit 31 in advance or acquired from the air-conditioning control device 40c.
The air conditioning control device 40c controls the air conditioning temperature indicated by the air conditioning control information received by the air conditioning 50c, and opens the air outlet 51c specified by the air outlet ID indicated by the air conditioning control information according to the control content.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a specific control example by the device interlocking control device 30.
When Mr. A, Mr. B, and Mr. C are present in the office, the environment preference information receiving unit 32 of the device interlocking control device 30 displays Mr. A's environment preference information “illuminance 500 lux (lx), air conditioning temperature. 28 degrees ", Mr. B's environment preference information" illuminance 700 lux, air conditioning temperature 26 degrees ", and Mr. C's environment preference information" illuminance 350 lux, air conditioning temperature 29 degrees ". The power consumption calculator 35 sets the average illuminance “517 lux” of Mr. A, B, and C's favorite illuminance as the target illuminance, and the average “27.7” of the favorite air conditioning temperature of Mr. A, B, and C. "Degree" is the target air conditioning temperature.

  The power consumption calculation unit 35 calculates the daylight illuminance and the heat load when the slat angle of the blind 50a is automatically daylighted, fully closed, and horizontally 180 degrees. The automatic daylighting is a slat angle that is automatically adjusted according to the sunlight at that time. The fully closed state is a slat angle perpendicular to the floor, and the horizontal 180 degrees is a slat angle horizontal to the floor. As a result of the calculation, “daylight illuminance 400 lux, heat load 1500” for automatic lighting, “daylight illuminance 120 lux, heat load 800” for fully closed, “daylight illuminance 550 lux, heat load 1850” for horizontal 180 degrees. can get.

  The power consumption calculation unit 35 is insufficient to set the target illuminance “517 lux” for each slat angle based on the daylight illuminance when the slat angle is automatic lighting, fully closed, and horizontal 180 degrees. The light control rate that is the illuminance is calculated, and the power consumption of the illumination 50b corresponding to the light control rate is obtained. Furthermore, the power consumption calculation unit 35 sets the target air conditioning temperature “27.7 degrees” for each slat angle based on the respective heat loads when the slat angle is automatic lighting, fully closed, and horizontal 180 degrees. Therefore, the heat load necessary for this is obtained, and the power consumption of the air conditioner 50c corresponding to the heat load is obtained. The power consumption calculation unit 35 calculates the predicted total power consumption by summing the power consumption of the illumination 50b and the power consumption of the air conditioner 50c for each slat angle. As a result, in the case of automatic lighting, “3.5 kW (kilowatts)”, all “4.2 kW” is obtained when closed, and “4.0 kW” is obtained when 180 degrees horizontally. Therefore, automatic lighting with the lowest predicted total power consumption is selected.

The control instruction unit 36 instructs the blind controller 40a to control the slat angle of the blind 50a by automatic lighting.
In addition, since the daylight illuminance in automatic lighting is “400 lux” and the target illuminance is “517 lux”, the control instruction unit 36 sets the illumination 50b of the entire office to “+117 lux” (= 517 lux−400 lux). ) To the lighting control device 40b. In addition, since Mr. A's favorite illuminance is “500 lux”, the control instruction unit 36 instructs the illumination control device 40b to set the illumination 50b right above Mr. A to “+100 lux”. Similarly, the lighting control device 40b is instructed to set the lighting 50b right above Mr. B to “+300 lux” and the lighting 50b right above Mr. C to “−50 lux”.
Further, the control instruction unit 36 controls the air conditioning 50c to the target air conditioning temperature “27.7 degrees”, and since the air conditioning 50c is in the cooling operation, the preferred air conditioning temperature is lower than the target air conditioning temperature. The air conditioning control device 40c is instructed to open the foot outlet 51c.

In the above-described embodiment, the occupant is identified by reading the personal ID from the IC tag, but the occupant may be identified by other methods.
For example, when the detection apparatus 10 is a computer terminal and an individual inputs a user ID and password and is authenticated, the input user ID is transmitted to the personal position detection apparatus 20 as a personal ID. Alternatively, biometric information such as a voice and a fingerprint is input to the detection device 10 to perform personal authentication and specify an individual.

In addition, when an individual's presence is fixed, the detection device 10 can be a sensor that detects the presence of a person, such as a human sensor. The storage unit 21 of the personal position detection device 20 stores the position where the detection device 10 is installed and the personal environment preference information whose position is the seating place in association with each other. As a result, the environment preference information acquisition unit 24 reads environment preference information corresponding to the position acquired by the position acquisition unit 23 from the storage unit 21.
Alternatively, if a work location is registered as a schedule for each individual in the storage unit 21 of the personal position detection device 20, and the position acquisition unit 23 indicates that the work location registered corresponding to the current time indicates the inside of the office. Judged as a resident. In this case, the position of the occupant can be the seat of the occupant or the work place registered in the schedule.

  In addition, the control instruction unit 36 of the device interlocking control device 30 may have the function of the device control device 40, and each environmental adjustment device 50 may be directly controlled from the control instruction unit 36.

  In the above embodiment, in step S210 of FIG. 3, the target illuminance is the average of the illuminance of all the environmental preference information received in step S205, and the target air conditioning temperature is the average of the air conditioning temperature of all the environmental preference information. However, the target illuminance and air conditioning temperature may be determined by other methods. For example, information indicating that priority is given to environmental preference information having a high priority is added. Then, if priority is set for the environment preference information received in step S205, the power consumption calculation unit 35 sets the preference illuminance and air conditioning temperature indicated by the environment preference information for which priority is set as the target illuminance and air conditioning. Let it be temperature. Alternatively, among the environmental preference information received in step S205, the highest or lowest illuminance may be set as the target illuminance, and the highest or lowest air conditioning temperature may be set as the target air conditioning temperature.

According to the present embodiment described above, it is possible to control the environmental adjustment devices in the light environment and the thermal environment in the building in conjunction with each other so that the energy consumption is reduced.
By opening the blinds in the office, it is possible to take in sunlight from outside and supplement the lighting. Accordingly, the amount of light that the illumination itself has to generate in order to achieve the target brightness can be reduced, so that the power applied to the illumination can be reduced. However, solar heat increases the heat load in the office at the same time. When the heat load increases, the air conditioning load may increase, and in this case, the power consumed increases. On the other hand, the opposite phenomenon occurs when the blind is closed. In other words, the amount of light that the lighting itself has to generate in order to reduce the amount of solar radiation taken into the office and achieve the target brightness increases, increasing the power consumed by the lighting while reducing the thermal load in the office. The power consumed for air conditioning is reduced. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the control state of the environmental adjustment device in the light environment and the thermal environment when the total energy consumption is the lowest is determined between when the solar radiation is added and when the solar radiation is not. . In other words, not only the change of the light environment caused by changing the state of the environment adjustment device of the light environment, but also the heat load which is one of the major factors that change with it and affect the energy consumption. Therefore, it is possible to select a control state in which the energy consumption is minimized in the entire environment adjustment device that controls different environments such as a light environment and a thermal environment.

As described above, in the present embodiment, it is possible to perform control in conjunction with the environmental adjustment device of the light environment and the thermal environment, which cannot be realized by the existing control system that controls the single environmental adjustment device. Therefore, compared with the case where a plurality of existing control systems are introduced, it is possible to control the environment adjusting device more efficiently, leading to cost reduction.
In addition to being able to control a plurality of environmental adjustment devices so as to reduce energy consumption, according to the preference of each occupant, the lighting of the occupant's position and the air outlet of the air conditioner are controlled. Can also satisfy the comfort.
