Description

  The present invention relates to an energy consumption calculation system that outputs an amount of energy consumed in vain based on a result of measuring energy consumption.

  In recent years, awareness of the importance of energy conservation and energy management has been increasing due to the necessity of effective use of resources due to the finite nature of resources and the need for environmental protection on a global scale. In addition, the so-called “electric power liberalization” triggered by the revision of the Electricity Business Law has led to changes in the situation surrounding the energy business, such as businesses in various business types are entering the power supply business. . Under these circumstances, users such as electricity (such as business establishments and general households) in order to use energy efficiently while receiving the benefits of such liberalization, etc. However, it is necessary to accurately grasp the actual usage of energy, etc., particularly whether or not wasteful consumption is performed in accordance with certain standards, and reflect this in future usage plans. At that time, since the user generally lacks specialized knowledge related to the use of energy or the like, it is important to have a mechanism for analyzing the actual use of the user from a professional point of view and providing advice on future use plans.

  In addition, from the viewpoint of increasing awareness of the importance of environmental protection including global warming countermeasures, in order to efficiently use energy such as electricity, the above-mentioned user energy The importance of mechanisms such as accurate understanding of actual usage and advice from a professional point of view regarding future usage plans is increasing.

In this regard, for example, a technique for measuring a user's power consumption, calculating a wasteful consumption based on a certain reference value, and presenting it to the user in the form of advice or the like has been disclosed. Yes. For example, in Patent Document 1, the measurement data of the usage amount of electricity or the like is compared with an energy saving effect target value set by the user to calculate the waste of “energy saving effect deficiency value” and provide the user with an “energy saving action guideline” A technique for doing this is disclosed (see Patent Document 1).
JP 2005-189102 A

  However, in the technology disclosed heretofore, the calculation of useless consumption has been performed by simple comparison with a value set by the user himself or a past average value as a reference value. It was impossible to determine whether the use of electricity was consumption based on necessity or wasted consumption based on objective indicators. For example, if the value set by the user is a large value that can allow wasteful consumption, or the standard is set as an average value of values that include wasteful consumption in the past There is no guarantee that consumption within the range of the reference value is consumption based on necessity. Also, even if this standard value is appropriate and the actual consumption is within that range, there is no guarantee that each individual consumption such as every wiring and every time zone is based on necessity. In the case of what has been disclosed in the past, it is impossible to know whether such individual consumption is based on necessity or wasteful consumption. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain a detailed understanding of the actual usage of these items and provide accurate advice on usage plans to eliminate waste. It was also difficult to do.

  In addition, when using energy related to air conditioners, etc. for air conditioning, the criteria for determining whether consumption is necessary or wasteful depends largely on the outside air temperature. If it cannot be provided to the user, it is difficult for the user to appropriately reflect this in the usage plan and efficiently use the energy applied to the air conditioner or the like. However, a mechanism for performing such accurate prediction has not been disclosed so far, and it has been difficult to provide accurate advice to users based on objective indicators.

Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to determine whether the actual consumption of energy or the like was consumption based on necessity or wasteful consumption based on an objective index, thereby eliminating waste. To help make it possible to provide accurate advice on the usage plan, energy consumption etc. is distinguished from wasteful consumption and consumption as necessary to reduce consumption of energy etc. It is to provide a system for outputting. Although not included in the scope of claims, it is possible to make the same judgment and give accurate advice on the consumption of air conditioning energy that is difficult to predict accurately depending on the outside air temperature.

  <Overview>

  The energy consumption consumption calculation system according to the present embodiment includes a means for acquiring energy consumption for each wiring / piping at a predetermined time interval by wiring to distribution board wiring / piping in a store, etc., and wiring / Corresponding to the wiring and piping, the means to transmit / receive as data distinguished for each pipe, the means to hold the received data as information (energy consumption information) related to the consumption time of energy, etc., the energy etc. of the store etc. Time that is considered to have been consumed wastefully based on the means for holding a schedule that distinguishes the time zone that can be used and other time zones, and the held schedule and consumption information such as energy Energy that has a means to output the belt and the energy equivalent that wasted wastefully for that purpose. It is possible to judge whether consumption of goods is consumption based on necessity or wasteful consumption based on objective indicators and to give accurate advice on usage plans to eliminate waste The purpose is to provide a system to contribute. The power consumption calculation system of this embodiment also has the same purpose.

  <Configuration>

  FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of functional blocks of the energy consumption consumption calculation system according to the present embodiment. Each unit which is a component of the present invention is configured by hardware, software, or both hardware and software. For example, as an example for realizing these, when a computer is used, hardware composed of a CPU, a memory, a bus, an interface, peripheral devices, and the like, and software executable on these hardware are listed. Can do. Specifically, the functions of the respective units are realized by sequentially executing the programs developed on the memory, by processing, storing, and outputting data on the memory and data input through the interface.

  As shown in the figure, “Energy consumption consumption calculation system” 0100 of the present embodiment includes “Energy consumption consumption measuring device” 0101, “Data transmitter” 0102, “Data receiver” 0103, “ An energy consumption information holding unit "0104, a" schedule holding unit "0105, and a" waste energy etc. information output unit "0106 are included.

The “energy consumption measuring device” is configured to acquire the energy consumption for each wiring and piping at predetermined time intervals by retrofitting to the distribution board wiring and piping in a store or the like. “Energy etc.” includes electricity, gas and water. In addition, these are typically used as energy, but even if they are used for other purposes, the consumption can be measured and the time zone that can be used and other time zones Are included in the “energy etc.” referred to in the present invention. For example, water used for cooking or water used for bathing corresponds to this. In addition, “stores and the like” included in the claims of the present invention are literally stores (facilities for selling and providing products and services such as restaurants and supermarkets), public offices, educational / medical facilities, or general It means a house for home use and does not include business establishments (factories, etc.). However, although it is not included in the scope of claims of the present invention, it is suitable for acquiring energy consumption for each wiring and piping at predetermined time intervals by retrofitting to the distribution board wiring and piping even in the workplace. The same effect can be obtained by the present invention as long as it is a new facility. That is, the facilities that can be effective according to the present invention widely include business establishments (factories, etc.) in addition to the above-mentioned “stores, etc.”, and any facility that uses electricity, gas, and water as energy. Anything can be included. In addition, energy consumption devices that use these energy, etc., are installed on the distribution board wiring and piping of stores, etc. as retrofitting, and if it is configured to acquire for each wiring and piping, the measurement target for each wiring and piping It doesn't matter what kind of energy-consuming equipment is included. For example, even if a plurality of devices for the same usage purpose (for example, only a plurality of lighting devices) are included in energy consumption devices measured by a single wiring, different devices for usage purposes (for example, lighting devices and air conditioners) It may be included. However, as will be described in detail later, the purpose of measurement for each wiring and piping is to acquire consumption data for each wiring and piping, and whether or not it is useless in light of the time zone specified in the usage schedule. Therefore, it is desirable that the energy consumption devices to be measured by one wiring or the like have a common use schedule. As a result, if energy consumption in a time zone that is not in the usage schedule is measured from a single wiring, etc., it is not necessary to search for the specific device that consumes it. You can know that it is a serious consumption. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of providing a system for “enabling accurate advice on a usage plan for eliminating waste”, which is one of the problems of the present invention, an object to be measured with one wiring or the like It is most desirable that there is a single energy consuming device. This is because it is possible to give advice on the use plan while showing specific consumer devices such as energy.

  Further, the reason for the configuration to acquire at “predetermined time intervals” is to enable it to be determined whether or not it is a wasteful consumption in association with a held schedule as will be described later. Therefore, the specific interval may be anything as long as such a determination can be made in relation to the schedule. For example, if the schedule is every hour, it may be an interval of 1 hour, and if the schedule is every 5 minutes, it may be an interval of 5 minutes. However, in order to make it possible to more finely determine the time zone wasted in relation to the schedule, it is desirable that the time period is shorter than the unit time of the “predetermined time interval” schedule (for example, the schedule is 1). If it is every hour, and energy has been consumed from 5 minutes before the time zone that can be used, if it is one hour interval, the entire hour immediately before the time zone that can be used is wasted. In contrast to the consumed time zone, if the interval is 5 minutes, only the last 5 minutes can be accurately grasped as a wasteful time zone). Further, in order to enable acquisition at a predetermined time interval in this way, the energy consumption measuring device may have a time measuring function by itself and determine the predetermined time interval based on the function. Alternatively, the predetermined time interval may be determined by acquiring time interval information (or time information) from other means.

  Next, the acquired amount of energy etc. is configured so that the “data transmitter” transmits it as data distinguished for each wiring and piping, and the “data receiver” receives this. Is done. There is no limitation on the method of transmitting and receiving data. For example, it may be transmitted / received via a telephone line or may be transmitted / received using the Internet.

  The “energy consumption information holding unit” is configured to hold energy consumption information, which is information obtained by associating the received data at predetermined time intervals with the energy consumption time. This energy consumption time is determined based on, for example, a clock held by the energy consumption information holding unit itself. Typically, since the energy consumption information holding unit instantaneously receives the data related to energy consumption acquired by the energy consumption measurement device, the received time is the energy consumption time. However, when data is received with a time difference from the time of acquisition of the measuring instrument, the information related to the time difference is acquired by the energy consumption information holding unit, and the energy consumption time is determined after taking the information into consideration. The A specific configuration for such determination is an appropriate design matter of those skilled in the art.

  Next, the “schedule holding unit” is configured to hold a schedule in which the time zone in which the energy of the store or the like may be used corresponding to the wiring and piping is distinguished from other time zones. . The “schedule” referred to in the present invention is not limited to a literal time schedule, but may be related to an estimation of a usage amount or an amount (a usage fee). That is, the schedule in the present invention is a broad concept that may include a time zone that can be used for each device such as energy, a usage amount and an amount (a usage fee), or a combination of these elements. Note that the “use amount” here is a concept including both an instantaneous value and an integrated value.

  Furthermore, the “waste energy etc. information output unit” is used wastefully due to the time period in which it is considered that energy etc. has been consumed wastefully based on the held schedule and the consumed information such as energy consumption. It is configured to output the same amount of energy.

  The above is an example of the configuration of the energy consumption calculation system of the present embodiment. As described above, the energy and the like to be processed by the system includes electric power, gas, and water. The most important thing for the purpose is electricity. Then, next, an example of the structure of the power consumption calculation system which is a system which performs the same process about electric power is demonstrated.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of functional blocks of the power consumption calculation system according to the present embodiment. In the figure, a “power consumption calculation system” 0200 of the present embodiment includes a “power consumption measuring device” 0201, a “power consumption data transmitter” 0202, a “power consumption data receiver” 0203, A “power consumption information holding unit” 0204, a “power usage schedule holding unit” 0205, and a “waste power information output unit” 0206 are included. The configuration of each part basically replaces the energy of the energy consumption calculation system with electric power. Therefore, since the general configuration of the system is the same as that described above for the energy consumption consumption calculation system, the description thereof will be omitted. In the following, the specific configuration of the system of the present embodiment will be described with respect to the power consumption. It will be explained with an example of a calculation system.

  First, a specific machine configuration for acquiring power consumption data will be described. The power consumption data is measured and acquired at predetermined time intervals. For this reason, it is desirable that the power consumption measuring device has a timekeeping function. Specific examples of data will be described later. This data is transmitted / received by a power consumption data transmitter / receiver and used for outputting information such as waste energy described later. However, the transmission / reception may be performed in real time or at a time difference. Good.

  Next, a specific configuration of holding power consumption information by the power consumption information holding unit will be described. The power consumption information held here is obtained by associating the received power consumption data at predetermined time intervals with the power consumption time. This association is performed using, for example, a clock function of the power consumption information holding unit itself.

  Next, the hardware configuration of the energy consumption calculation system and the like according to this embodiment will be described. Here, an example of a power consumption calculation system will be described.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of the hardware configuration of the power consumption measuring device and the power consumption data transmitter.

  As shown in the figure, the power consumption measuring device 0300 includes a detection unit 0310 and a measurement / transmission computer 0320. The detection means is configured to have a sensing function for measuring and acquiring information (power consumption data) necessary for calculating the power consumption from the wiring 0340 of the power consuming device 0330. The specific configuration of the detection means is an appropriate design matter for those skilled in the art. For example, as shown in the figure, the measuring device includes a plurality of terminals 0311, a signal code 0312 connected to each terminal, and each signal. It is conceivable to have a sensor 0313 that is provided at the tip of the cord and detects the amount of electric power in an electrically non-contact state with the wiring. As a specific detection method, for example, a sensor is attached to a wiring coated with an insulator in a non-contact state, an AC current and an AC voltage are detected by magnetism generated by a circuit current, and the power is obtained by multiplying this. A method is used in which (instantaneous value) is calculated and the amount of electric power is obtained by integrating this with time.

  Then, the power consumption data detected by the sensor is stored in the storage device of the measurement / transmission computer through the signal code and the terminal as described below. In addition, the sensor may have an open / close clip shape as shown in the figure so that it can be attached to the wiring in an electrically non-contact state by retrofitting. The power consumption data transmitter 0350 includes a measurement / transmission computer and a transmission device 0351.

  FIG. 4 shows details of the hardware configuration of the power consumption measuring device and the power consumption data transmitter. The power consumption measuring device includes a storage device 0401, a main memory 0402, a CPU 0403, an interface 0404, and detection means 0405. The power consumption data transmitter includes a CPU, an interface, and a transmission device 0406. These are connected to each other via a data communication path such as a system bus 0407, and perform transmission / reception and processing of information.

  The storage device stores various programs executed by the CPU. The main memory reads a program stored in the storage device for execution, and simultaneously provides a work area that is a work area for the program. A plurality of memory addresses are assigned to the main memory and the storage device, respectively, and a program executed by the CPU performs processing by exchanging data with each other by specifying and accessing the memory address. It is possible.

  In this example, first, the power consumption acquisition program stored in the storage device is expanded in the work area of the main memory, and when the CPU executes the program, the interface uses the power consumption data detected by the above-described sensor. The signal code and the terminal are used to obtain the data and store it in the storage device. At this time, the storage device is divided into storage areas corresponding to the respective wirings. For example, data acquired from the wiring A is stored in the storage area for the wiring A, and data acquired from the wiring B is stored in the storage area for the wiring B. , And so on. This includes, for example, an instruction for determining that the data acquired through the terminal corresponding to the wiring A is the data acquired from the wiring A, and the program executes this instruction. .

  At that time, the data acquisition is performed at predetermined time intervals. For this reason, the computer includes a timer (not shown). Since the power consumption acquisition program includes a command for acquiring data at predetermined time intervals (for example, every 5 minutes) set in advance, the CPU executes the program based on the time measured by the timer. This executes data acquisition at predetermined time intervals. Note that the power consumption is, for example, a comparison of the power consumption data (instantaneous value) at the time of the current measurement and the data at the time of the next measurement, and the values indicated by both data change linearly within the time interval between the two. (Thus, if the values indicated by both data are the same, it is estimated that the same power consumption was continued during that time). For example, if the power consumption data at the start of measurement is 240 W (instantaneous value) and the power consumption data after 5 minutes is also 240 W (instantaneous value), it is estimated that the power consumption of 240 W was continued during that time. The power consumption for 5 minutes is calculated as 72000 Ws (20 Wh). Similarly, if the power consumption data at the start of measurement is 0 W (instantaneous value) and the power consumption data after 5 minutes is 240 W (instantaneous value), the power consumption for 5 minutes is 36000 Ws (10 Wh). ) Is calculated. At that time, the data is associated with the time interval at which the data is measured. This association is usually performed by directly associating with the time at which the data is measured based on the clock function of the timer.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a table in which the power consumption data for each wiring acquired in this way is associated with time, and the power consumption data for each wiring section and time is attached with a series of identification codes. Are arranged so that they can be identified. Moreover, in the example of the same figure, the wiring classification, the type (use) and installation location of the equipment connected thereto are also associated. In the example shown in the figure, power consumption is measured and acquired at intervals of 5 minutes for each of the three wirings A (kitchen lighting), B (audience lighting), and C (kitchen air conditioning), and the power connected to the wiring A It was measured that the consumer device (lighting device) consumed 2 Wh of power for 5 minutes from the start of measurement, and the power consumption device connected to the wirings B and C did not measure the power consumption during the same time period. It is shown that. With this association, it is possible to identify the power consumption data in which time zone for which wiring classification the data is based on the identification number.

  The association of the power consumption data may be performed not with the time but with the time interval. FIG. 6 is an example of such a case, and shows an example of a table in which the acquired power consumption data for each wiring is associated with a time interval. In this case, since power consumption data and the elapsed time from the start of measurement are associated, a table for associating time interval information and time information is separately required for association with time. It becomes.

  As described above, the power consumption data is acquired in an identifiable form in association with the wiring and time or time interval, and stored in the storage device.

  Next, referring back to FIG. 4, a specific configuration for performing the process of transmitting the power consumption data will be described. In this example, as will be described later, an example in which the transmission means is PHS will be described. In this case, the power consumption data stored in the storage device in association with the wiring and the time interval is read out by the above process, and the CPU executes the transmission program and transmits the data to the receiver. It is an appropriate design matter for those skilled in the art to perform this transmission processing by means of a telephone line, the Internet, or other appropriate means. The figure shows an example in which transmission is performed via a telephone line from a PHS connected to an interface. First, the transmission program is expanded and processing for executing the program is performed. In this case, the CPU executes processing based on a command to call the PHS connected to the receiver-side interface, which will be described later, with respect to the PHS, and the telephone line is established. Next, the CPU executes a process of transmitting these data to the interface on the receiver side using the established telephone line. Thus, transmission of the power consumption data using the PHS to the receiver side is completed.

  In addition, in the above, when the data transmitter transmits the power consumption data acquired by the measuring device, these may be combined with one data and transmitted, or may be transmitted separately. In the former case, an identification code (for example, “Izakaya“ XX ”XX store”, which is a store name having wirings A, B, and C)) for identifying the combined data is associated with the data. May be. Further, as shown in the example of FIG. 5 and the like, in addition to the wiring, the type of power consuming equipment connected to the wiring and the installation location (for example, lighting equipment or kitchen) may be associated. Or in addition to this, you may link | relate the time which measured data. These are based on the more effective utilization of the present invention, which contributes to making it possible to give accurate advice on usage plans to eliminate waste (for example, store units, types and installation locations of power consumption devices) However, in any case, these are all appropriate design matters for a person skilled in the art.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of a hardware configuration of a power consumption data receiver, a power consumption information holding unit, an electricity usage schedule holding unit, and a waste power information output unit in the power consumption calculation system of the present embodiment. is there. The power consumption data receiver includes a storage device 0701, a CPU 0703, an interface 0704, and a receiving device (PHS) 0705. Each of the power consumption information holding unit and the power usage schedule holding unit includes a CPU and a storage device. The waste power information output unit includes an interface, a storage device, a main memory 0702, and a CPU. These are also connected to each other by a data communication path such as a system bus 0706, and perform transmission / reception and processing of information.

  In this example, a PHS connected to the interface on the receiver side receives a call made from the PHS on the power consumption data transmitter side, and the CPU stores the data received via the interface from the telephone line in the storage device. To do. At that time, what kind of identification information the power consumption information is transmitted in association with can be various patterns as described above, for example, when the power consumption information is associated with the wiring, The power consumption information holding unit associates the power consumption information with the types of the power consuming devices based on the table that associates the wiring held by the power consumption information holding unit with the types of the power consuming devices connected to the wiring. May be. Further, when the time interval is associated with the time interval, processing for replacing the time interval with time is performed based on the clock held by the power consumption information holding unit. At this time, for example, if the information is also associated with information related to the measurement start time, the time information required for each measurement can be obtained by considering the measurement start time and the time interval information. Association with power consumption information becomes possible.

  FIG. 8 shows an example of the power consumption information held by the power consumption information holding unit. The power consumption information is information that associates the data received at predetermined time intervals with the power consumption time as described above. At this time, when the power consumption data is directly associated with the time from the beginning as shown in FIG. 5, it is sufficient to hold it as it is as shown in FIG. On the other hand, when the power consumption data is associated with the time interval as shown in FIG. 6, processing for replacing these time intervals with time based on the clock held by the power consumption information holding unit is performed. Associated. At this time, for example, information associating the measurement start time with the time interval as shown in FIG. 8B is transmitted together with the power consumption data, so the measurement start time and the time interval information indicated in the information are displayed. By taking into account, the time information required at each measurement is obtained and reflected. As a result, the same information as in FIG. 8A is obtained.

  Returning to FIG. 7, the specific configuration of the electricity usage schedule holding unit will be described next. Information related to the power usage schedule is stored in the storage device in advance. Since this information is information related to the schedule corresponding to the wiring (hereinafter referred to as “schedule information”), it is associated with the identification information for identifying the wiring in advance, and based on the identification information, the storage device It is stored in each area corresponding to the inside wiring. FIG. 7 shows that schedule information corresponding to the wiring A is stored in the α area, schedule information corresponding to the wiring B is stored in the β area, and the like.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of schedule information. In this example, the installation location of the power consuming equipment connected to the wiring corresponding to the wiring classification is also included. In this case, this is transmitted in association with the power consumption data as described above. Alternatively, it may be acquired based on a correspondence table or the like held in advance by a power usage schedule holding unit or the like. In the figure, since the power consuming device connected to the wiring A (kitchen) needs to be used for cleaning up after the store closes from 00:00 to 4:00:00 on December 1, for example, “Use “Any time zone” (indicated by “◯” in the figure) and “Other time zones” from 4: 0 to 16:00 (“×” in the figure) Etc.).

  Returning to FIG. 7 again, a specific configuration for performing output processing of waste power information will be described. In this case, the output program stored in the storage device is first expanded in the main memory. Next, the CPU executes the program to generate and output waste power information. Specifically, the power consumption information and schedule information stored in the storage device are read into the main memory, the power consumption information, the time information associated therewith, the time zone that can be used indicated by the schedule information, and the others It is determined whether the power consumption indicated in the power consumption information is a wasteful consumption or a consumption based on the necessity based on the information regarding the time period of It generates and outputs information related to a possible time zone and the amount of power consumed unnecessarily. This output is output as printed matter, for example. For this reason, the interface of the waste power information output unit may be further connected to the printer 0707 or the like.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of the wasted power information generated and output in this way. In this example, the waste power information is generated based on the power consumption information shown in FIG. 7 and the schedule information shown in FIG. is there. In the figure, the sum of the daily wiring and the total of the store (this example assumes that there are only three wirings A, B, and C in the store) is calculated, and “wasteful power is consumed. An example of generating and outputting information related to “the time zone considered to be unusable” and “the amount of power wasted wasted” in units of days was shown. However, in what time unit this is generated and output is an appropriate design matter for those skilled in the art. For example, it may be generated and output in units of weeks or months.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating another example of the output of the waste power information, and the waste power information as illustrated in FIG. 9 is output by graphing the information (however, the waste power information Is different from the example shown in FIG. 9). This is an example in which the output contents are devised for the purpose of helping more accurately give advice on a usage plan for eliminating waste. In the same figure, the lower part shows the “time zone in which power is considered to have been consumed wastefully” (shaded portion 1101) as in FIG. 9, and the upper part “wasteful power consumption” in FIG. In addition, “the amount of power consumed based on necessity” is also shown (shaded portion 1102). As described above, the output contents may include contents other than “a time period in which power is consumed wastefully” and “amount of power consumed wastefully”. Also in this case, the time unit for output is an appropriate design matter for those skilled in the art.

  In the above, the example in which the output contents are the waste power consumption time zone and the waste power consumption has been described, but in addition to this, the amount (usage fee) for waste power consumption may be calculated and output. .

  As described above, the specific configuration of the system of the present embodiment has been described above in the case of electric power. However, other energy (gas, water) is generally the same. In other words, in the case of gas, the gas consumption measured by the gas consumption measuring device installed in the retrofit for each gas pipe, and in the case of water supply, the measurement of water consumption installed in the retrofit for each water pipe Data on water consumption measured by the device is acquired and transmitted / received in the same manner, and waste gas information and waste water information are generated and output as a result of a predetermined calculation. These details are appropriate design matters for those skilled in the art.

  <Process flow>

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of a processing flow in the energy consumption calculation system according to the present embodiment. This will be described below with reference to FIG.

  First, in the energy consumption measurement step S1201, the energy consumption calculation system acquires energy consumption for each wiring and piping at predetermined time intervals by retrofitting the distribution board wiring and piping in a store or the like.

  Next, in the data transmission step S1202, the energy consumption consumption calculation system transmits the energy consumption consumption acquired in the energy consumption consumption measurement step as data distinguished for each wiring and pipe.

  Next, in data reception step S1203, the energy consumption calculation system receives the data transmitted in the data transmission step.

  Next, in the waste energy etc. information output step S1204, the energy etc. consumption calculation system, energy etc. consumption information which is information relating the data of the predetermined time interval received in the data reception step with the energy consumption time, The time zone in which energy etc. is considered to have been consumed unnecessarily based on the schedule in which the time zone where the energy of the store etc. may be used corresponding to the wiring and piping and the other time zone are distinct Output the amount of energy consumed in vain.

  Moreover, FIG. 13 is a figure which shows an example of the flow of a process in the power consumption calculation system of a present Example. The flow shown in this figure is basically the one in which the energy in the flow shown in FIG. 12 is replaced with electric power, so that the description is omitted, but the flow of processing in the waste power information output step S1304 in the same figure. Is further divided into several sub-steps, so this point will be described in detail below (note that this point is the same even in the processing flow in the energy consumption consumption calculation system shown in FIG. 12, The following explanation will be given with an example of the flow of processing in the power consumption calculation system).

  FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an example of the flow of processing in the waste power information output step.

  As shown in the figure, first, in the power consumption information reading step S1401, the power consumption calculation system (the waste energy etc. information output unit) reads the power consumption information stored in the storage device.

  Next, in schedule information reading step S1402, the power consumption calculation system reads schedule information stored in the storage device. Note that whichever of the processes of step S1401 and step S1402 may be performed first.

  Next, in power consumption information / schedule information correspondence table generation step S1403, the power consumption amount calculation system generates a correspondence table based on the information read out in steps S1401 and S1402. A specific example of this table is as shown in FIG.

  Next, in the corresponding table row number reading step S1404, the power consumption calculation system reads the number of rows (L) of the table. According to the example of FIG. 10 (a), the number of rows (L) is the first row for information relating to the identification code “A001”, and the information relating to the row “B001”. Is counted as the second row. Therefore, in the example of FIG. 9, the number (L) of lines from “A001” to “C003” excluding “A004” and the following omitted is “9”.

  Therefore, next, the power consumption calculation system first substitutes “1” for the variable (N) indicating the number of rows (L) among the number of rows (L) (step S1405). It is determined whether or not the consumption described in the first line is useless (step S1406). In the example of FIG. 9A, the determination result is “no” (not wasteful). If the determination result is “yes” (wasted), the power consumption calculation system generates and outputs waste power information in step S1407 of waste power information for consumption in the first column. . On the other hand, if the determination result is “NO”, such processing is not performed in the example of FIG. 14, and the process proceeds to step S1408 described later. However, although not shown, the power information for consumption in the first column may be generated / output even when the determination result is “no”.

  These determinations are made unambiguously and objectively from the correspondence between the power consumption information and schedule information described in the table. For example, if 0:00 on a certain day for a certain wiring is positioned in the “other time zone” in the schedule, if power consumption is detected from that wiring at that time, it is always determined as “useless” Will be. By such processing, it is ensured that the determination made based on the “held schedule and the held power consumption information” is made unambiguously and objectively.

  When such processing is performed for the first row, the same processing is performed for the second row, and after that, when the processing for the Nth row is completed, the processing for the (N + 1) th row is performed. This is repeated (step S1408). When it is determined that N has exceeded the number of rows (L) and there are no longer any unprocessed rows (step S1409), the power consumption calculation system ends the process.

  In addition, in the same figure, the generation / output process of the waste power information concerning the consumption for each row was explained, but based on this, the sum totaled by day, week, and month, wiring, equipment type Separately, it may be generated and output that is tabulated according to the installation location of the device. These can be generated by appropriately processing what is generated as a result of the processing described with reference to FIG. 13, and what is generated and output is an appropriate design matter for those skilled in the art.

  <Effect>

  Using the energy consumption consumption calculation system of this embodiment, it is determined whether the actual consumption of energy was consumption based on necessity or wasteful consumption based on an objective index, and wasted Consumption of energy, etc., by separating energy consumption into wasteful consumption and consumption as necessary to contribute to making it possible to give accurate advice on usage plans to eliminate waste It is possible to provide a system for outputting quantities.

  <Overview>

  The energy consumption consumption calculation system (or power consumption calculation system) of the present embodiment is basically the same as the system of the first embodiment, but the schedule held in the schedule holding unit (or power usage schedule holding unit). It has the feature in that it further has means for changing.

  <Configuration>

  FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating an example of functional blocks of the energy consumption calculation system according to the present embodiment. The configuration of the “energy consumption calculation system” 1500 according to the present embodiment is basically the same as that of the energy consumption calculation system according to the first embodiment described with reference to FIG. However, in addition to this, the system of this embodiment has a “change unit” 1506.

  The “change unit” is configured to change the schedule held in the schedule holding unit. As often described in the first embodiment, in the system of the first embodiment, the schedule is used to distinguish the time zone in which energy etc. may be used from the other time zones, and based on this, the schedule is used. It is determined that energy consumed in other time zones is wasted and information such as wasted energy is output. The same applies to the system of this embodiment. Therefore, it is desirable that this schedule is set so as to accurately reflect whether it is a time zone in which energy or the like may be used or other time zones. Otherwise, for example, there is a situation in which the use is judged as wasted consumption because it was actually used based on necessity but was classified into other time zones in the schedule. It can happen. However, the schedule may change suddenly. For example, since a large number of reservation customers suddenly entered the restaurant on the day, preparations for cooking etc. are usually started from 1 hour before the opening time (16:00), whereas on that day there are 2 There may be a situation where preparations must be started from before 15:00 (15:00). In this case, in the initial schedule, the schedule for wiring corresponding to the kitchen is a time zone where energy can be used for lighting, ventilation, cooking, etc. after 16:00, and other time zones before 16:00 Therefore, when it is determined according to the schedule as it is, consumption of energy and the like from 15:00 to 16:00 is determined to be useless. This makes it difficult to discriminate based on an objective index and reflect it as an accurate advice for the use plan, which is different from the actual situation and was wasted consumption.

  Therefore, the system according to the present embodiment further includes a changing unit, so that when there is a change in circumstances affecting the schedule as in the above example immediately before consumption of energy, etc., the schedule reflecting this is changed. Make a change (specifically, change from 15:00 to 16:00 from “Other time zone” to “Usable time zone”) so that judgment based on objective indicators can be maintained. It is aimed at. The remaining configuration of the system of the present embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

  Next, FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating an example of functional blocks of the power consumption calculation system according to the present embodiment. The configuration of the “power consumption calculation system” 1600 of the present embodiment is basically the same as that of the power consumption calculation system of the first embodiment described with reference to FIG. However, in addition to this, the system of the present embodiment has a “power usage schedule changing unit” 1606. The configuration of the power usage schedule changing unit is basically obtained by replacing the energy or the like in the configuration of the above changing unit with electric power. Further, since the remaining configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment, description thereof is omitted.

  Next, a hardware configuration according to the changing unit (or the power usage schedule changing unit) in the energy consumption calculation system (or power consumption calculation system) of the present embodiment will be described. Here again, an example of a power consumption calculation system will be described.

  FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating an example of a hardware configuration of the power usage schedule changing unit of the power consumption calculation system. The remaining configuration of the system is the same as that described in the first embodiment with reference to FIG. As shown in this figure, the power usage schedule changing unit includes a storage device 1701, a main memory 1702, a CPU 1703, and an interface 1704. These are connected to each other by a data communication path such as a system bus 1705.

  First, as described in the first embodiment with reference to FIG. 7 and the like as a premise, in the storage device, information related to the power use schedule is associated with the identification information for identifying the wiring in advance in each memory of the storage device. It is stored in the area. FIG. 17 shows an example in which schedule information corresponding to the wiring A is stored in the α area and schedule information corresponding to the wiring B is stored in the β area.

  Here, the situation changes as mentioned in the above example occur, and for cooking etc. in the kitchen at “15 o'clock to 16 o'clock” which is classified as “other time zone” in the initial power usage schedule Assume that it becomes necessary to use electric power (here, the kitchen corresponds to the wiring A). Then, according to the example of the schedule information in FIG. 9, for the information related to the wiring A, from 15:00 to 16:00 is changed from “other time zone” to “usable time zone”. There is a need to. An example of a specific configuration for realizing this change processing is as follows.

  First, the change program stored in the storage device is expanded in the main memory. Next, change information (including change contents and change instructions) of the schedule information is input to the interface in association with identification information for identifying the wiring. This is done, for example, using a keyboard, mouse or the like connected to the interface. Alternatively, the PHS that transmits and receives power consumption data may be used to transmit change information including the change contents from the PHS on the transmitter side together with the identification information, and the interface may receive the change information.

  Then, the CPU executes the change program to change the schedule. Specifically, based on the identification information associated with the change information, the schedule is read into the main memory from the α area of the storage device that holds the schedule for the wiring A, and from 15:00 to 16:00 is changed to “other than that” The process of changing from “time zone” to “usable time zone” is executed.

  As a result, in the generation / output of the wasted power information processed by the CPU executing the output program, the power consumption performed based on the information about the time zone that can be used indicated by the schedule information and the other time zone The determination of whether the power consumption indicated in the information was a wasteful consumption or a consumption based on necessity is made based on the information for the time period after the change. Judgments based on objective indicators that reflect changes can be maintained.

  <Process flow>

  An example of the flow of processing in the present embodiment will be described using an example of a power consumption calculation system.

  FIG. 18 shows an example of the process flow related to the output of the wasted power information including the process related to the schedule change in the process flow in the power consumption calculation system of the present embodiment. The processing flow in the figure is basically the same as the processing flow in the waste power information output step in the first embodiment described with reference to FIG. However, in the schedule change step S1802, the power consumption calculation system changes the schedule in which the time zone in which the power of the store or the like may be used corresponding to the wiring is distinguished from the other time zones. Further, the schedule information read in the power usage schedule reading step S1803 is the schedule after being changed in the step S1802. Note that either the processing in step S1801 or the processing in steps S1802 and S1803 may be performed first. The remaining processing flow is the same as that in the first embodiment described with reference to FIG.

  <Effect>

  Even if there is a sudden change in circumstances affecting the schedule by the energy consumption consumption calculation system etc. of this embodiment, the schedule is changed to reflect this, thereby maintaining judgment based on objective indicators It becomes possible to make it possible.

  <Overview>

  The energy consumption calculation system (or power consumption calculation system) of the present embodiment is basically the same as the system of the first or second embodiment, but is held in the schedule holding unit (or power usage schedule holding unit). The schedule that is used is the time zone that can be used for each device (or power consuming device) with different usage purposes, usage amount and amount (usage fee), or a combination of these elements, and other time zones, The schedule is characterized by the distinction between the amount used and the amount of money (usage fee) or a combination of these elements.

  <Configuration>

  FIG. 19 is a diagram illustrating an example of functional blocks of the energy consumption calculation system according to the present embodiment. The configuration of the “energy consumption calculation system” 1900 of this embodiment is basically the same as that of the energy consumption calculation system of the first or second embodiment described with reference to FIG. However, in the system of the present embodiment, the schedule held in the schedule holding unit is a time zone, usage amount and amount (usage fee) that can be used for each device such as energy having different usage purposes, or elements thereof. And the other time zones, usage amounts and amounts (usage charges), or combinations of these elements. There are no particular restrictions on the “purpose of use” of energy equipment. For example, typical uses of power in restaurants such as restaurants are lighting, air conditioning, ventilation, cooking, refrigeration / freezing, broadcast reception, in-store broadcasting, etc. "Is a distinction such as lighting equipment, air conditioner, ventilation fan, electric stove, refrigerator-freezer, TV, in-store broadcasting equipment. However, any other purpose may be used as long as it can be used for equipment such as energy. As described above, the “energy etc.” referred to in the present invention can be used for purposes other than energy, and its consumption can be measured, and the time zone that can be used and other times. Anything that can be distinguished from the time zone is included. For example, cooking and bathing when the energy or the like is water can be included in the “purpose of use” here. “Usage amount” is a concept that includes both instantaneous values and integrated values.

  FIG. 20 is a diagram illustrating an example of functional blocks of the power consumption calculation system according to the present embodiment. The configuration of the “power consumption calculation system” 2000 of this embodiment is basically the same as that of the energy consumption calculation system of the first or second embodiment described with reference to FIG. However, in the system of the present embodiment, the schedule held in the schedule holding unit is a time zone, usage amount and amount (usage fee) that can be used for each device such as energy having different usage purposes, or elements thereof. And the other time zones, usage amounts and amounts (usage charges), or combinations of these elements. An example of a schedule with distinct time zones is the same as that described in the first embodiment and the like, and will not be described. Here, an example in which usage amounts or amounts (usage charges) are distinct will be described.

  First, an example in which the usage amount is distinguished will be described. As described above, “usage” is a concept that includes both an instantaneous value and an integrated value. Therefore, if the energy or the like is electric power, it includes both the instantaneous value and the integrated value of the electric power consumption. For example, if gas or water is used, both instantaneous flow rate values and integrated flow rate values are included. FIG. 21 shows an example in which the schedule is “usage” for each device such as energy having a different purpose of use, and the usage is an integrated value of power consumption (usage per month). It is an example. In this figure, an example similar to the power consuming equipment in the restaurant mentioned above is used as an example of equipment such as energy having a different purpose of use, and the cumulative usage per month (kWh / An example in which the upper limit of month) is set. Next, FIG. 39 shows another example when the schedule is “usage” for each device such as energy having different utilization purposes, and an example in which the usage is an instantaneous value of the power consumption. It is. In this figure, as in FIG. 21, the same example as the power consuming equipment in the restaurant mentioned above is used as an example of the equipment having different utilization purposes, and the instantaneous usage amount as shown in the figure for each category. An example in which the upper limit of (W) is set is shown. The significance of using the instantaneous value as the “use amount” as described above is as follows. That is, for example, at a restaurant, when cleaning the audience seats, the guest rooms are divided in half because of the number of store staff engaged in the cleaning work, etc. Let ’s say that everyone is cleaning about half of them. In that case, for the lighting for cleaning, only the first half is turned on when cleaning the first half, and the first half is turned off and the remaining half is turned on when the remaining half is cleaned. That's enough, and it's useless to turn on the lights in all the rooms throughout the entire cleaning period. Therefore, when such a lighting rule is set, it is possible to know whether or not such a lighting rule has been observed by setting the upper limit of the usage amount as an instantaneous value. For example, when the power usage (instantaneous value) is 200 W when all the lights in the passenger seat are turned on, the upper limit of usage is set to 100 W, and the measured power consumption (instantaneous value) is If it exceeds 100 W, it is possible to immediately know that power was wasted against the above rule without knowing the accumulated usage amount.

  FIG. 22 shows an example when the schedule is “amount (use fee)” for each device such as energy having a different purpose of use. The example of this figure also uses the same example as the power consuming equipment in the restaurant similar to FIG. 20, and showed an example in which the upper limit of the amount (usage fee) as shown in the figure is set for each category .

  Furthermore, the schedule may be a combination of elements such as time zone, usage amount and amount (usage fee) for each device such as energy having different usage purposes. For example, this is a specific example for each element described above. A combination of these can be considered.

  As described above, it is configured to determine waste based on a schedule that distinguishes between time zones that can be used for each "equipment with different purposes (or power consuming devices)" and other time zones. The reason for this is that devices with the same purpose of use generally have the same trend in usage time, amount of use, and even the amount of money (usage fee). This is because it will lead to a determination based on a more objective index, and it will be easier to give accurate advice to a usage plan for eliminating waste. From this point of view, when energy consumption measuring equipment (power consumption measuring equipment) measures energy consumption (power consumption) for each wiring and piping, it is connected to one wiring and piping. It is desirable that the devices are for the same purpose. Thereby, the schedule defined corresponding to the wiring / piping is also for the equipment having the same usage purpose, and it is possible to make a judgment for each equipment having the different usage purpose. At that time, for example, it is often seen that a plurality of power consuming devices with different purposes of use are installed in one room, and these are connected to one switchboard wiring. The power consumption for each power consuming device may be measured by directly attaching the device to the wiring cord of each power consuming device. In this way, even in the case of this example, it is possible to make a useless determination based on a schedule for each power consuming device having a different purpose of use.

  For reference, FIG. 23 is a diagram illustrating an example of installation of power consuming devices in the case of the above example and an example of how to measure the power consumption for each wiring in that case. Among these, (a) shows the case where the refrigerator 2302, the illumination device 2303, and the television 2304 which have different purposes of use are installed in one room 2301, and (b) shows a procedure for measuring the power consumption of each power consuming device. As an example, a sensor 2306+ of a measuring device is attached to a wiring cord 2305 of a television.

  Note that these schedules may be held in advance, or may be generated and held by a schedule holding unit or the like based on predetermined data. As an example of the latter, for example, when the schedule is for a time zone, the schedule holding unit holds in advance a table in which keywords are associated with a distinction between a time zone that can be used and another time zone. Based on the input of these keywords made using a keyboard, mouse, etc. connected to the interface, a distinction is made based on the unambiguous criteria, and a schedule according to that is generated and retained. Such a configuration can be considered.

  FIG. 24 shows an example of a table in which such a keyword is associated with a distinction between a time zone that can be used and another time zone. For example, when data such as “Cooking staff meeting at 18: 00-16: 00 in the kitchen on December 8th” is input from a keyboard or the like, the schedule holding unit includes the keyword “cooking staff meeting” included therein. Referring to the above table, a schedule in which “December 8 15 o'clock to 16 o'clock” relating to the wiring A corresponding to the kitchen is divided into “usable time zones” is generated and held.

  <Effect>

  By using the energy consumption consumption calculation system of this embodiment, etc., it is determined whether the purpose of use is wasteful as Merckmar, which leads to a judgment based on a more objective index, and a use plan for eliminating waste. It is easier to give accurate advice to.

  <Overview>

  The energy consumption equality appropriateness information output device (or power consumption amount appropriateness information output device) of the present embodiment is based on PMV (Predicted Mean Vote) calculation according to a predetermined factor, a predetermined store, etc. Means for outputting recommended room temperature, means for obtaining outside air temperature information, means for obtaining room temperature information of stores, etc., and temperature of stores assumed to be managed based on the output recommended room temperature Means for acquiring the energy consumption equivalent consumed by the adjusting device, means for repeatedly plotting the outside temperature based on the acquired outside temperature information and the acquired consumption energy equivalent in a predetermined cycle on the outside temperature-consumption energy graph. It is what has.

  As described above, energy consumption by a temperature control device (air conditioner, etc.) for room temperature management (air conditioning) depends on the outside air temperature and is difficult to accurately predict. Therefore, as described in the first to third embodiments. Unlike other cases, it is difficult to determine whether or not the consumption is wasted based on an index set objectively in advance based on a schedule or the like. Therefore, the significance of the invention of the present embodiment is that the prediction information about the outside air temperature is obtained, and the optimum consumption energy standard for the outside temperature is used based on the energy consumption history for managing the optimum recommended room temperature based on the prediction information. It is to make it possible.

  <Configuration>

  FIG. 25 is a diagram illustrating an example of functional blocks of the energy consumption equality appropriateness information output device according to the present embodiment. The “appropriate energy consumption amount appropriateness information output device” 2500 of the present embodiment includes a “recommended room temperature output unit” 2501, an “outside air temperature information acquisition unit” 2502, a “store room temperature information acquisition unit” 2505, and “consumption It has an “energy equivalent acquisition unit” 2503 and a “plotting unit” 2504.

  The “recommended room temperature output unit” is configured to output a recommended room temperature at a predetermined store or the like based on PMV calculation according to a predetermined factor. The meaning of “store etc.” is the same as that in the first embodiment.

  The “outside temperature information acquisition unit” is configured to acquire outside temperature information. Further, the “store room temperature information acquisition unit” is configured to acquire room temperature information of a store or the like. The meaning of “store etc.” here is the same as above.

  The “consumed energy equivalent acquisition unit” is configured to acquire the equivalent amount of energy consumed by a temperature control device such as a store that is assumed to be managed based on the output recommended room temperature.

  Furthermore, the “plotting unit” is configured to repeatedly plot the outside air temperature based on the obtained outside air temperature information and the obtained amount of consumed energy, etc., in a predetermined cycle on the outside air temperature-consumed energy graph. The purpose of this plot is to gradually improve the reliability of the output energy consumption equivalence adequacy information by repeatedly plotting values including values based on the premise of management based on such recommended room temperature. There is. Specific examples of the graph obtained by such plotting will be described later.

  Moreover, FIG. 26 is a figure which shows an example of the functional block of the power consumption amount appropriateness information output device of a present Example. The “appropriate power consumption information output device” 2600 of this embodiment includes a “recommended room temperature output unit” 2601, an “outside air temperature information acquisition unit” 2602, a “store room temperature information acquisition unit” 2605, and “power consumption”. The quantity acquisition unit ”2603 and the“ outside air temperature-power plot unit ”2604 are basically configured by replacing the energy of the energy consumption equivalence appropriateness information output device with electric power. is there. Therefore, the general configuration of the system is the same as that described above for the energy consumption equality appropriateness information output device, and the description thereof will be omitted.

  Next, an example of the configuration of the recommended room temperature output at a predetermined store or the like based on the PMV calculation in the present invention will be described. In the PMV calculation, the comfort index is generally calculated based on six calculation parameters (indoor temperature, indoor humidity, indoor radiant temperature, indoor air velocity, activity amount, and clothing amount) related to the temperature environment. This comfort index is expressed as a PMV value, and is divided into 7 levels from 3 (hot) to -3 (cold). The PMV calculation formula (comfort equation) uses the following formula that is generally used (therefore, description of the contents is omitted). In the PMV calculation in the present embodiment, calculation parameters other than the room temperature are determined as fixed parameters or variable parameters, and the room temperature at which the PMV value becomes 0 (neither) is calculated as a recommended room temperature. Use the method.

  In this example, a case where the store is a restaurant will be described. In this case, for example, a fixed parameter is used as a calculation parameter for indoor airflow velocity and activity amount, and a variable parameter is used as a calculation parameter for clothing amount and indoor humidity. For example, the average measured value of the business hours on the same week as the previous week of the store is used as a calculation parameter (variable parameter) for indoor humidity, and based on the monitoring result at an actual restaurant as a calculation parameter (fixed parameter) for indoor airflow velocity. 0.23 m / sec is used. In addition, 1.2 (state of sitting) is used as an activity amount calculation parameter (fixed parameter). Also, as a calculation parameter (variable parameter) for clothing amount, based on the reading result of next week's maximum outside air temperature in “Weekly Weather Forecast” on the Japan Meteorological Agency website, the value determined based on the fitting formula for the maximum outside air temperature and clothing amount is used. It is done. Further, 50% is used as a calculation parameter (fixed parameter) for indoor humidity.

  That is, the feature of the PMV calculation in the present embodiment is that it uses a method of calculating the room temperature such that the PMV value becomes 0 (neither) as the recommended room temperature, and particularly used in that case. In calculating the amount of clothing as a variable parameter, the reading result of the next week's highest outdoor temperature in the “Weekly Weather Forecast” on the JMA website is used.

  Here, the point of calculation of the amount of clothes using the reading result of the next week's highest outside air temperature in the “weekly weather forecast” on the website of the Japan Meteorological Agency, which is a feature of the calculation in the present embodiment, will be described. First, the outline of the flow of this procedure is described. First, the outdoor temperature in summer and the outdoor temperature in winter are obtained from past meteorological data. On the other hand, from the fact that “summer clothes”, which is the clo value of the amount of clothes generally used, is 0.5 and “typical winter indoor clothes” is 1.0, and the above-mentioned outside air temperature, A relational expression between the outside air temperature and the clo value is obtained. Therefore, the clo value of the clothing amount corresponding to the temperature is obtained by applying the highest temperature of the next week in the “weekly weather forecast” on the JMA homepage to the relational expression.

  FIG. 27 is data of the average temperature and the average maximum temperature for each month in the past 30 years (1975-2004) in Tokyo (only an example and different from actual data). Here, the standard of the outdoor temperature in summer and winter is selected, and the month that shows the highest and lowest average temperatures for each month in the figure is selected. Use the standard method of outdoor temperature in winter. In the example shown in the figure, the standard of outdoor temperature in summer is 30.8 ℃, which is the average maximum temperature in August, where the monthly average temperature is the highest (27.1 ℃), and the standard of outdoor temperature in winter is The average maximum temperature in January is 9.8 ° C, which is the lowest (5.8 ° C).

  Next, FIG. 28 is a graph for obtaining a relational expression between the outside air temperature and the clo value from the above outside air temperature. In the figure, when a relational expression is obtained by interpolation from a clo value of 1.0 corresponding to 9.8 ° C. and a clo value of 0.5 corresponding to 30.8 ° C., the following equation is obtained.

  Therefore, the next week's highest outdoor temperature in the “weekly weather forecast” on the Japan Meteorological Agency website is applied to this relational expression. FIG. 29 is an example (a part) of the reading result (partial) of the next week's highest outside air temperature in the “weekly weather forecast” on the Japan Meteorological Agency website (this is merely an example and is different from actual data). The reason for using such data is that it is generally considered that the reliability of this data is high, and since it is classified by region, it is the same as stores that are developed throughout the country, such as izakaya chain stores. This is because the calculation result based on the index of can be applied. In the case of this example, the relationship between the maximum temperature and the amount of clothes is as shown in FIG. As a result, for example, the clothing amount (clo value) corresponding to 13 ° C., which is the predicted maximum outside air temperature in Tokyo on December 1 shown in FIG. 29, is 0.9.

  FIG. 31 shows an example of a recommended room temperature obtained as a result of PMV calculation for reference. This substitutes the indoor humidity 50%, indoor radiant temperature, indoor airflow velocity 0.23m / second, and active mass 1.2 for the PMV calculation formula above. This is a value obtained by substituting the value obtained based on the above relational expression from the reading result of the next week's maximum outside air temperature in “Weekly weather forecast”.

  The significance of acquiring information relating to the recommended room temperature with the above configuration is as follows. As already mentioned, in room temperature management (air conditioning), depending on the outside temperature, an objective index can be set in advance to predict appropriate temperature management, and thus appropriate management of energy consumption, etc. Since it is difficult, it is necessary to take measures to manage based on other indicators. At that time, it is generally considered that there is a certain correlation between the temperature adjustment of a temperature control device (such as an air conditioner) for room temperature control and the consumption amount of energy, etc. Although the power consumption when used for a long time is considered to be almost always constant), especially in restaurants and other stores, the number of customers, the difference between the outside and indoor temperatures, the location of the air conditioner, etc. It is difficult to know in advance the relationship between temperature adjustment and power consumption for the air conditioner or the like because factors such as relationships are intertwined in a complicated manner. Therefore, based on past performance values, etc., for example, how many times the outside air temperature has been in the past, by accumulating the actual amount of power consumption of the air conditioner, etc. that day, the outside temperature and power consumption A certain correlation about the quantity can be known. Therefore, a graph showing the relationship between the outside air temperature and the power consumption can be created based on the actual value. However, there is no guarantee as to whether or not the power consumption is appropriately temperature-controlled in light of the outside temperature. This is because this is merely a follow-up of how much the outside air temperature corresponding to the power consumption was. On the other hand, if the temperature adjustment of the power consumption is made under the prediction of an appropriate outside air temperature, the degree of assurance that the power consumption is more appropriate will increase. Therefore, in the invention of this embodiment, the temperature that should be encouraged is calculated based on the outside air temperature prediction data of the Japan Meteorological Agency that is considered to be highly reliable, and the air conditioning etc. It is intended to grasp the power consumption under the assumption that the temperature adjustment of the is properly managed. “Recommended room temperature” is the “room temperature to be encouraged as being appropriately adjusted” for this purpose.

Next, the hardware configuration of the energy consumption amount appropriateness information output device (or the power consumption amount appropriateness information output device) of the present embodiment will be described using an example of the power consumption amount appropriateness information output device.
FIG. 32 is a diagram illustrating an example of a hardware configuration of the power consumption amount appropriateness information output apparatus according to the present embodiment. As shown in the figure, the recommended room temperature output unit includes a storage device 3201, a main memory 3202, a CPU 3203, and an interface 3204. The outside air temperature information acquisition unit includes a CPU, a storage device, and an interface. The store room temperature information acquisition unit also includes a CPU, a storage device, and an interface. The power consumption acquisition unit also includes a CPU, a storage device, and an interface. The outside air temperature-power plot unit includes a CPU, a storage device, a main memory, and an interface. These are also connected to each other through a data communication path such as the system bus 3205, and perform transmission / reception and processing of information.

  First, a specific configuration related to the output at the recommended room temperature will be described. The recommended room temperature output program stored in the storage device is expanded in the main memory, and information relating to a predetermined factor is also read from the storage device and expanded in the main memory. Then, the CPU executes the program and performs an output process at the recommended room temperature. In this case, the CPU assigns a predetermined factor to the PMV calculation formula included in the program, calculates a room temperature at which the PMV value becomes zero, and outputs this as a recommended room temperature. Specific factors and examples of PMV calculation results based on these factors are as described above.

  Next, regarding acquisition of outside air temperature information, for example, a temperature sensor connected to the interface directly acquires outside air temperature data and stores it in the storage device. Alternatively, the data is transmitted to a computer from a temperature sensor installed in a place isolated from the computer via a telephone line, the Internet, etc., and the CPU acquires the data via an interface and stores it in a storage device. May be. Moreover, the structure concerning acquisition of room temperature information, such as a store, is also in common with this.

  Next, a configuration related to acquisition of power consumption will be described. The acquisition program is expanded in the main memory, and the room temperature information such as the store stored in the storage device by the above processing is also read out to the main memory. Then, the CPU executes the program and acquires room temperature information of the store as power consumption consumed by a temperature adjustment device such as a store.

  Further, for the configuration related to plotting, a plotting program is developed, the outside air temperature information and the electric energy are read from the storage device, and the CPU executes the program and repeatedly plots the information on the graph in a predetermined cycle. Process. FIG. 33 is an example of a graph on which such a plot is made.

  The plot result obtained by executing such processing is gradually accumulated, so that the reliability as the reference value is improved and has a certain reference value. This reference value is obtained by, for example, the least square method. FIG. 34 is obtained by adding a reference value line obtained by the method of least squares to the graph shown in FIG. In the figure, a line 3401 is a reference line for cooling, and a line 3402 is a reference line for heating. This is the value obtained by the least square method for the points plotted for cooling (shown by white circles in FIG. 33) and the least square method for the points plotted for cooling (shown by black circles in FIG. 33). Obtained from the values obtained by the above.

  Furthermore, it is possible to verify how much power has been consumed by seeing the difference between the plotted point and the reference value. FIG. 35 is an example of a graph in which such divergence is observed. As shown in the figure, the point 3502 plotted at a point above the cooling reference line 3501 is a result of setting the temperature from the outside temperature of the day to a temperature lower than the temperature setting that should have been originally appropriate. It has been shown that cooling was performed more than necessary, resulting in wasteful power consumption.

  In addition, although different from the example described above, the following can be considered as another configuration of the energy consumption amount appropriateness information output device (or power amount appropriateness information output device) of the present embodiment.

  FIG. 36 shows an example of a functional block of the energy consumption amount appropriateness information output device according to such another configuration (the same is true for the power amount appropriateness information output device).

  As shown in the figure, the “consumption energy equivalent adequacy information output device” 2900 of this example includes an “outside air temperature information acquisition unit” 2901, a “consumption energy equivalent acquisition unit” 2902, and a “plotting unit” 2903. And have. The “outside temperature information acquisition unit” is configured to acquire outside temperature information. The “consumption energy equivalent acquisition unit” is controlled by a temperature adjustment device such as a store that is assumed to be managed based on a recommended room temperature at a predetermined store calculated based on a PMV calculation according to a predetermined factor. It is comprised so that the consumed energy equivalent amount may be acquired. The “plotting unit” is configured to repeatedly plot the outside air temperature based on the obtained outside air temperature information and the obtained energy consumption equivalent amount on the outside air temperature-consumed energy etc. graph in a predetermined cycle. That is, the difference from the above embodiment is that the “recommended room temperature output unit” and the “store room temperature information acquisition unit” do not necessarily have to be provided (in other words, the output of the recommended room temperature). And acquisition of room temperature information such as stores is not essential). Secondly, therefore, the “consumption energy equivalent acquisition unit” acquires the consumption energy equivalent consumed by a temperature control device such as a store assumed to be managed based on the output recommended room temperature. Instead, it is configured to acquire the energy consumption equivalent amount consumed by a temperature control device such as a store that is assumed to be managed based on the recommended room temperature. In other words, in the former case, the recommended room temperature is generated and further output, and management can be performed based on the generated and output recommended room temperature, whereas in the latter case, that is, in the apparatus of this example, it is generated. There is a difference in that the management can be made directly on the recommended room temperature. With the configuration as described above, the configuration that it is assumed that the consumption amount of energy by a temperature control device such as a store is managed based on the recommended room temperature becomes clearer.

  <Process flow>

  FIG. 37 is a diagram illustrating an example of a process flow in the energy consumption amount appropriateness information output apparatus according to the present embodiment.

  First, in the recommended room temperature output step S3701, the energy consumption equality appropriateness information output device outputs a recommended room temperature at a predetermined store or the like based on PMV calculation according to a predetermined factor.

  Next, in outside air temperature information acquisition step S3702, the energy consumption equivalent amount appropriateness information output device acquires outside air temperature information.

  Next, in the store room temperature information acquisition step S3703, the energy consumption equivalent amount appropriateness information output device acquires room temperature information of the store or the like. Note that the order of processing in steps S3701, S3702, and S37003 does not matter.

  Next, in the energy consumption equivalent acquisition step S3704, the temperature of a store or the like that is assumed that the energy consumption equality appropriateness information output device is managed based on the recommended room temperature output in the recommended room temperature output step. Obtain the energy consumption equivalent consumed by the adjustment device.

  Further, in the plotting step S3005, the energy consumption equality appropriateness information output device uses the outside temperature based on the outside temperature information acquired in the outside temperature information acquiring step and the acquired consumption energy equivalent to the outside temperature-consumption energy, etc. Plot repeatedly on the graph at a given cycle.

  FIG. 38 is a diagram illustrating an example of a processing flow in the power consumption amount appropriateness information output device.

  Since the flow in the figure basically replaces the energy or the like in the processing flow in the energy consumption amount appropriateness information output apparatus with electric power, the description thereof is omitted.
