[0033]
  [Configuration of management device]
  The management device 4 is a device that manages the air conditioner 2a and the water spray energy-saving device 7 connected to the central control device 3, and is in a remote monitoring center that is remote from the target property where the air conditioner 2a is arranged. Be placed. The contents of management performed by the management apparatus 4 include abnormality monitoring, optimum automatic control, automatic report creation, and the like. Abnormality monitoring determines whether or not an abnormality has occurred in the air conditioner 2a from the operation data of the air conditioner 2a sent from the central control device 3, and if an abnormality has occurred, the manager of the target property The management content is to notify the etc. The optimum automatic control will be described later in detail. The automatic report creation is a management content in which a report summarizing the operational effects of optimum automatic control is automatically created and periodically sent to the owner or manager of the target property.
[0034]
  The management device 4 mainly includes a communication unit 40, a storage unit 41, and a management unit 42.
[0035]
  The communication unit 40 is a part that transmits and receives data signals to and from the communication unit 31 of the centralized control device 3. The communication unit 40 receives operation data transmitted from the central control device 3 every predetermined time via the Internet IN. The communication unit 40 transmits the control content of the air conditioner 2 a and the water spray energy saving device 7 created by the management unit 42 to the central control device 3. The communication unit 40 also receives water level information and weather information from the server 8 of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and the server 9 of the weather company via the Internet IN. The water level information is information on the water level of the dam, lake or river that is the water source of the target property.

[0037]
  Based on the operation data, the water level information, and the weather information sent from the central control device 3, the management unit 42 automatically creates the control content of the air conditioner 2 a and the water spray type energy saving device 7 and sends it to the central control device 3. To perform optimal automatic control.
[0038]
  Hereinafter, this optimum automatic control will be described in detail.
[0039]
  [Optimum automatic control]
  Control contents by the optimum automatic control mainly include energy saving control and power demand control.
[0040]
  The energy saving control is intended to reduce the power consumption of the air conditioner 2a without damaging the comfort of the indoor environment where the air is conditioned, and is a combination of a plurality of control methods. The management unit 42 creates an energy saving control schedule for the day from the latest weather information and the operation data for the previous day, and transmits it to the centralized control device 3 every day. This energy saving control schedule is created so as to achieve the target power consumption throughout the year. That is, the management unit 42 selects a plurality of control methods according to the weather of the day from weather information, etc., and creates a combined schedule by selecting a control method that can further reduce power consumption from among them. To do. Thereby, energy-saving automatic control for reducing power consumption as much as possible while maintaining comfort is performed.
[0041]
  The power demand control is control for suppressing the maximum demand power of the air conditioner 2a to contract power or management target power. In this power demand control, the management unit 42 monitors the demand power and continuously predicts the maximum demand power for each demand time period, and when the maximum demand power may exceed the contract power or the management target power, According to the control logic stored in the storage unit 41, the predicted demand power amount that is reached at the end of the demand time period is calculated while monitoring the current power consumption amount within the demand time period. When it is predicted that the predicted demand power amount exceeds the target power at the end of the demand period, the management unit 42 transmits a control signal to the air conditioner 2a to stop the compressor 62 of the outdoor unit 6 or The set temperature is changed by a predetermined value.
[0042]
  The management device 4 can manage the air conditioner 2a of the target property remotely and optimally operate by combining the energy saving control and the power demand control.
[0043]
  The air conditioner 2a managed by the management device 4 is provided with the water spray type energy saving device 7 as described above, and the water spray type energy saving device 7 sprays water on the outdoor heat exchanger 60. As a result, power consumption is reduced. The management device 4 uses the water spray type energy saving device 7 to reduce power consumption in the energy saving control and the power demand control. However, when determining the control content of the optimum automatic control, the drought information is used. To reduce the amount of water used. Hereinafter, the optimum automatic control in consideration of drought information will be described based on the control flowchart of FIG.
[0044]
  First, in step S1, water level information is received. Here, the communication unit 40 of the management device 4 receives the water level information published by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism from the server 8 of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism via the Internet IN. The water level information is not limited to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, but may be another public institution or a private information provider. The received water level information is stored in the storage unit 41.
[0045]
  Next, in step S2, weather information is received. Here, the communication unit 40 of the management apparatus 4 receives weather information from the server 9 of the weather company via the Internet IN. The received weather information is stored in the storage unit 41.
[0046]
  In step S3, the management unit 42 predicts drought. Here, the management unit 42 calculates the predicted water level H of the water source based on the water level information and the weather information.
[0047]
  Next, in step S4, the amount of water used is determined. Here, the management unit 42 switches between the three controls of control A, control B, and control C according to the level of the predicted water level H. Specifically, control A is performed when H ≧ H1, control B is performed when H1> H ≧ H2, and control C is performed when H2> H, depending on the reference constants H1 and H2. FIG. 6 shows the control contents of the control A, the control B, and the control C.
[0048]
  Control A (second control) is control in which the largest amount of water usage is allowed, and reduction of power consumption is given priority over reduction of water usage. In the control A, the water spray type energy saving device 7 can be used in both the energy saving control and the power demand control. Therefore, water is used for reduction of power consumption throughout the year by energy saving control, and the amount of power consumption in energy saving control is reduced. Moreover, water is also used for reduction of peak power by power demand control, and peak power in power demand control is reduced. For this reason, power consumption is reduced in both energy saving control and power demand.
[0049]
  Control B is control in which the amount of water used is suppressed more than control A. In the control B, the water spray energy saving device 7 cannot be used in the energy saving control, and the water spray energy saving device 7 can be used only in the power demand control. In this case, water is sprayed to the outdoor heat exchanger 60 only in power demand control, and water is not used in energy saving control. In the power demand control, since water is used only at the peak of power consumption, the amount of water used is relatively small. Further, in energy saving control, water is used for a relatively long period of time. Therefore, in the energy saving control, the use of the water spray type energy saving device 7 is impossible, so that the amount of water used is considerably reduced. .
[0050]
  Control C (first control) is control in which the amount of water used is most suppressed, and priority is given to reducing the amount of water used over reducing power consumption. In the control C, it is impossible to use the water spray type energy saving device 7 in both the energy saving control and the power demand control. In this case, water is not used in both energy saving control and power demand control.
[0051]
  In step S5, the control content is transmitted. Here, the management unit 42 transmits the control content from the communication unit 40 to the centralized control device 3 via the Internet IN. The transmitted control content is transmitted from the central control device 3 to each air conditioner 2a and the water spray type energy saving device 7, and the air conditioner 2a and the water spray type energy saving device 7 are controlled.
[0052]
  [Characteristic]
  (1)
  In this equipment management system 1a, the management device 4 determines the control content based on the water level information and the weather information of the water source, and manages the amount of water used by the water spray energy saving device 7. For this reason, the usage-amount of resources can be managed appropriately according to the situation of drought. That is, if the water level is relatively high or if there is little fear of drought because precipitation can be expected, the control A is performed with priority on saving power consumption. Thereby, the water spray type energy-saving device 7 is used and power consumption is reduced. On the other hand, when the water level is relatively low, such as in summer, and when precipitation cannot be expected, there is a strong social demand to prevent water shortages due to drought anxiety. In this case, the control C is performed by giving priority to the reduction of the amount of water used. Thereby, the control which gives priority to the reduction of the usage-amount of water rather than the reduction of power consumption is performed. This prevents water shortages and contributes to society. When the fear of drought is about between control A and control C, control B is performed and water is used only in power demand control. Thereby, peak power is reduced. Therefore, the peak power can be reduced while suppressing the amount of water used to some extent.
[0053]
  Thus, in this equipment management system 1a, the usage amount of the water resource and the usage amount of the power resource in the air conditioner 2a and the water spray type energy saving device 7 can be appropriately managed according to the drought situation.
[0054]
  (2)
  In the facility management system 1a, the management device 4 predicts the future water level H based on the water level information and the weather information. Based on the predicted predicted water level H, the amount of water resources used by the water spray energy-saving device 7 is managed. Thereby, in this equipment management system 1a, it is possible to predict a drought state and to relieve water shortage during drought. Moreover, generation | occurrence | production of drought can also be suppressed by reducing the consumption of water.
[0055]
  Furthermore, when drought is predicted, the amount of water consumed can be reduced, and when there is no concern about drought, water can be used to reduce power consumption. Thus, in this equipment management system 1a, energy saving is achieved within a possible range in consideration of water shortage during drought.
[0056]
  (3)
  When the water spray type energy saving device 7 is used in energy saving control or power demand control, CO2 is reduced by reducing power consumption. In particular, in power demand control, a power failure is prevented by reducing peak power.
[0057]
  (4)
  In the case of a billing system in which the unit price of water increases during drought, the cost for water resources can be reduced by reducing the amount of water used.
[0058]
  <Reference example>
[Constitution]
  Of the present inventionReference exampleThe equipment management system 1b concerning is shown in FIG. In this facility management system 1b, an air conditioner 2b that performs air conditioning inside the target property and a greening facility 10 (see FIG. 8) arranged on the roof or wall of the target property are managed by the remote monitoring center. It is controlled by the device 4.
[0059]
  As shown in FIG. 8, the greening facility 10 includes a greening portion 11 and an automatic watering device 12 provided on the roof of a target building.
[0060]
  The greening portion 11 is a portion provided on the rooftop surface of a building and planted.
[0061]
  The automatic watering device 12 is a device that automatically supplies water to the greening portion 11 and is controlled by the centralized control device 3. The automatic watering device 12 sprays water on the greening portion 11 using rainwater or tap water.
[0062]
  In addition, the air conditioner 2b does not necessarily need to be provided with the water spray type energy saving device 7 like the air conditioner 2a according to the first embodiment.
[0063]
  About another structure, it is the same as that of the equipment management system 1a concerning 1st Embodiment.
[0064]
  [Optimum automatic control]
  In the facility management system 1b, the management device 4 predicts the water level H based on the water level information and the weather information, as in the first embodiment. Based on the predicted water level H, the management device 4 changes the amount of water used and the usage time by the automatic watering device 12. That is, when the water shortage due to drought is predicted, the amount of water used is suppressed. In addition, when the possibility of water shortage due to drought is low, the amount of water used is not suppressed. And the centralized control apparatus 3 controls the automatic watering apparatus 12 according to the control content which the management apparatus 4 determined.
[0065]
  [Characteristic]
  (1)
  In this equipment management system 1b, the harsh reflection of the sun on the rooftop of the building is alleviated by watering the greening portion 11 on the rooftop surface of the building. That is, the sprayed water evaporates while taking heat by receiving solar radiation. Thereby, the rise in the surface temperature of the roof is suppressed. Accordingly, the cooling load on the air conditioner 2b that performs air conditioning inside the building is reduced, and the power consumption of the air conditioner 2b is reduced. Thus, in this equipment management system 1b, the amount of power resources used in the air conditioner 2b can be reduced by using water resources.
[0066]
  (2)
  In this facility management system 1b, similarly to the first embodiment, the water resource usage and the power resource usage are obtained by performing the operation of suppressing the water usage based on the drought information such as the water level information. It can be managed appropriately according to drought conditions.
[0067]
  <Other embodiments>
  (1)
  In the above embodiment, the water consumption is controlled by calculating the predicted water level based on the drought information, but the water usage is suppressed directly from the information on the actual water level. May be performed.
[0068]
  (2)
  In the above embodiment, the amount of water used is controlled by selecting the control content from among the control A, control B and control C according to the level of the predicted water level. Suppression of the amount of water used may be operated by changing the amount of water sprayed by the device 7 or changing the water usage time. Moreover, when water is used for equipment such as a plurality of outdoor units 6, suppression of the amount of water used may be operated by limiting the number and range of equipment used.
[0069]
  (3)
  In the above embodiment, weather information is used together with drought information, but other various information such as social information may be used. For example, the water intake restriction may be predicted by further utilizing the population transition prediction in the region where the target property is located.
[0070]
  (4)
  In the above embodiment, the drought information such as the water level information is sent to the management device 4 arranged in the remote monitoring center, and the management device 4 determines the operation to suppress the amount of water used. The drought information may be sent directly to the centralized control device 3 arranged in the target property without going through 4. In this case, the central control device 3 determines an operation for suppressing the amount of water used.
[0071]
<Other reference examples>
  (1)
  In the above embodiment, the water level information is used as the drought information, but it may be information related to the water intake restriction of the target property published by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. The information regarding intake restriction is, for example, the presence or absence of intake restriction and the degree of intake restriction.
[0072]
  Further, the amount of water stored or the water storage rate stored in a dam or the like may be used instead of the water level.
[0073]
  (2)
  In said embodiment, although the management apparatus 4 is calculating the prediction water level H, you may estimate the information regarding a future water intake restriction | limiting.
