  Next, the operation in this embodiment will be described.

  First, before the air conditioning control unit 14 starts operation control of the air conditioner 7 in consideration of power consumption and comfort, the set value calculation unit 11 stores various types of information stored in the air conditioning system model storage unit 21 and the information storage unit 22. By performing multi-objective optimization calculation with reference to the information, a plurality of Pareto optimal solutions in the relationship between the comfort of space and the power consumption of the air conditioner 7 are calculated. Then, the set value calculation unit 11 registers the set value that realizes comfort and power consumption in each Pareto optimal solution in the set value candidate storage unit 23 as a set value candidate group (set value candidate) used for air conditioning control. .

  FIG. 4 is a conceptual diagram showing the set values calculated by the set value calculation unit 11 in the present embodiment. The upper limit value (Pmax) and lower limit value (Pmin) of power consumption are determined by the system configuration of the air conditioner 7 and the upper and lower limits of power consumption are determined. An upper limit value (Cmax) and a lower limit value (Cmin) of the comfort index value indicating the The multi-objective optimization calculation unit 113 has comfort priority, power consumption priority as shown in FIG. 4 within the air-conditioning controllable range 41 set based on the upper and lower limits, and comfort is as good as possible between them. In addition, a plurality of Pareto optimal solutions with low power consumption are calculated as set values S1 to Sp. The multi-objective optimization calculation unit 113 registers the setting values S1 to Sp calculated in this way in the setting value candidate storage unit 23.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a data configuration example of the setting values registered in the setting value candidate storage unit 23 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 5 shows an example in which eight setting values S1 to S8 are set and registered. Each set value S1 to S8 is composed of comfort and power consumption in the Pareto optimal solution and a set value group for realizing it, and the set value group includes the set temperature and the air volume of the air conditioner 7. It is.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, before the air conditioning control is performed, the plurality of setting values S1 to Sp are registered in the setting value candidate storage unit 23 as setting value candidates that are actually used for the air conditioning control. .

  Next, processing in the present embodiment for selecting a setting value that is actually used for air conditioning control from the setting value candidates registered in the setting value candidate storage unit 23 will be described.

  In this embodiment, when performing air conditioning control, the administrator operates the air conditioning control device 10 to select any one of the set value candidates registered in the set value candidate storage unit 23. Specifically, when the condition receiving unit 12 is activated in response to a predetermined user operation, the condition receiving unit 12 displays a list of preset selection conditions on the display 37. For example, “(a) Since we want to save energy in order to reduce demand, comfort is within a certain range and power consumption is below a certain value.” “(B) Since there is power reserve, there is a certain power consumption range. ”Maximize comfort amongst others”. The administrator selects a desired condition from the listed conditions. When a selection condition that requires data setting such as a certain range or certain value is separately selected as in the condition (a), the condition receiving unit 12 inputs the additional data to the administrator. Ask.

  When the selected condition or the condition value input as necessary is received by the condition receiving unit 12, the set value selecting unit 13 selects the condition receiving unit 12 from among the set value candidates registered in the set value candidate storage unit 23. Is selected and sent to the air conditioning control unit 14. The air conditioning control unit 14 controls the operation of the air conditioner 7 based on the set value sent from the set value selecting unit 13. For example, under the condition (b), the setting value S3 with the best PMV (PMV = 0) is selected.

  As a result, according to the present embodiment, the air conditioner 7 is operated with the power consumption based on the setting value designated by the administrator from the Pareto optimal solution in the relationship between the power consumption and the comfort, and accordingly, The room 6 is provided with the comfort specified by the administrator.

  In this embodiment, the administrator inputs a condition for selecting one set value from the selection candidates registered in the set value candidate storage unit 23. For example, the consumption illustrated in FIG. A set of each set value such as power and comfort may be taken out from the set value candidate storage unit 23 and displayed on the display 37 as a list, and a desired set value may be selected from the list.

  Here, when the air conditioner 7 is under operation control based on the currently selected set value, if it is desired to change the power consumption or improve the comfort, the Pareto optimal solution is set in this embodiment. Easy adjustment of power consumption and comfort by allowing the administrator to select another setting value from the selection candidates registered in the setting value candidate storage unit 23 without causing the value calculation unit 11 to recalculate. Can do.

  By the way, the set temperature for the air-conditioning operation remains the same as shown in FIG. 6A unless the administrator re-enters the condition and changes the set value. However, since the outside air temperature changes with time as illustrated in FIG. 6D, it can be easily predicted that the power consumption and the comfort will change accordingly.

  Therefore, for example, a predetermined time length such as one day or working hours is divided into a plurality of time zones so as to be able to cope with changes according to time transitions such as outside temperature, and the set value selection unit 13 includes the current time. A set value different from the currently selected set value is automatically selected from the set value candidates so that the set temperature for the air conditioner 7 can be changed according to the time zone, and the selected set value is used. The air conditioning control unit 14 may control the air conditioning.

  As patterns for controlling air conditioning, two patterns (b) and (c) are illustrated in FIG.

  FIG. 6B is an example showing the transition of the set temperature for controlling the air conditioning so that the set value is matched to the change in the outside air temperature. The outside air temperature used here is a predicted value. When the set value selection unit 13 automatically selects a set value corresponding to the current time zone so that the set value matches the change in the outside air temperature, and causes the air conditioning control unit 14 to control the air conditioning, You may make it suppress the influence (sudden change etc. of a blood pressure) by rapid temperature change. In the example of FIG. 6B, when 22 ° C. is set at 12 o'clock, the set value selection unit 13 sets the set value that becomes 24 ° C., which is 2 ° C. plus 2 ° C., as the set value candidate. Automatically select from.

  FIG. 6C shows an example of transition of the set temperature for controlling the air conditioning so that a temperature difference between the outside air temperature and the room temperature is added, contrary to FIG. 6B. By controlling the air conditioning so that a temperature difference is provided, it may be possible to impress that the air conditioner 7 is operating and to improve the value of the air conditioning. Adding a temperature difference between the outside air temperature and room temperature means that the cooling effect can be felt by setting the room temperature low during cooling operation, or the heating effect can be felt by setting the room temperature high during heating operation. is there.

  Alternatively, although the set value calculation unit 11 has prepared only one set of set value candidates, a set of a plurality of set value candidates can be obtained by preparing set value candidates corresponding to each time zone. Register with. In this case, the set value selection unit 13 may switch to a set of set value candidates corresponding to the time zone including the current time and allow the administrator to select.

Embodiment 2. FIG.
In the first embodiment, the set value is obtained from the entire range of the upper and lower limit values of the power consumption and the upper and lower limit values of the comfort index value (air conditioning controllable range 41). However, if the air-conditioning setting range (power consumption range, comfort range) required by the administrator or user is known in advance, the outside of the air-conditioning setting range should not be selected in advance as a setting value selection candidate. May be. The present embodiment is characterized in that setting values outside the air conditioning setting range are not selected as setting values used for air conditioning control by the air conditioning control unit 14.

  FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing the air conditioning control device 10 in the present embodiment. The same components as those in the above-described embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted as appropriate. The same applies to the embodiments described later.

  The air conditioning control device 10 according to the present embodiment has a configuration in which a range limiting unit 114 is provided in the set value calculation unit 11. The range restricting unit 114 is provided as a restricting unit, and restricts a possible range of the set value used for the operation control of the air conditioner 7 by the air conditioning control unit 14 in accordance with a preset restricting condition.

  FIG. 8 is a conceptual diagram showing the set values calculated by the set value calculation unit 11 in the present embodiment, and corresponds to FIG. 4 in the first embodiment. For example, it is assumed that the range of power consumption is limited to R as an air conditioning setting required by an administrator or a user. In Embodiment 1, since the restriction condition of the restriction range R is not set in advance, the Pareto optimal solution (set value) is obtained from the entire air-conditioning controllable range. When the limited range R is set as in the present embodiment, the range limiting unit 114 limits the range of the Pareto optimal solution obtained by the multi-objective optimization calculating unit 113 to the limited range R. As a result, as illustrated in FIG. 8, the set value calculation unit 11 registers the Pareto optimal solutions (set values) Sr <b> 1 to Srp included in the limit range R as set value candidates in the set value candidate storage unit 23.

  The processing described above is performed before the air-conditioning control unit 14 starts operation control of the air conditioner 7 in consideration of power consumption and comfort. Since the process after the value is registered in the set value candidate storage unit 23 may be the same as that in the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted.

  According to the present embodiment, the Pareto optimal solution (set value) outside the limit range R can be prevented from being selected as the set value for operation control of the air conditioner 7.

Embodiment 3 FIG.
FIG. 9 is a block diagram showing the air conditioning control device 10 in the present embodiment. As in the second embodiment, the present embodiment is characterized in that setting values outside the air conditioning setting range are not selected as setting values used for air conditioning control by the air conditioning control unit 14. A setting value extraction unit 15 is provided as means for realizing the above. The set value extraction unit 15 in the present embodiment is provided as a limiting unit, and limits a range of set values that can be taken by the air conditioning control unit 14 for operation control of the air conditioner 7 according to a preset limit condition.

  In the second embodiment, only the set values within the limit range are registered in the set value candidate storage unit 23. However, in the present embodiment, calculation is performed from the air-conditioning controllable range as in the first embodiment. The pareto optimal solution (setting value) is registered in the setting value candidate storage unit 23 as it is. Then, the set value extraction unit 15 limits the set value candidates that can be selected by the administrator from the set value candidates registered in the set value candidate storage unit 23. For example, when the set value selection unit 13 selects a set value that most closely matches the condition specified by the administrator, the selection candidates are limited. Or, when setting value candidates are displayed in a list, the setting values to be displayed in a list are limited.

  FIG. 10 is a conceptual diagram showing the setting values calculated by the setting value calculation unit 11 in the present embodiment, and corresponds to FIG. 4 in the first embodiment. In FIG. 10, the set value calculation unit 11 registers the set values S1 to Sp in the set value candidate storage unit 23 as in the first embodiment, but the set value extraction unit 15 includes the set values within the limit range R. It shows that only Sr1 to Srq are extracted from the set value candidate storage unit 23 as selection candidates by the set value selection unit 13. That is, the set values S1 and S (q + 1) to Sp are not provided to the set value selection unit 13.

  According to the present embodiment, the Pareto optimal solution (set value) outside the limit range R can be prevented from being selected as the set value for operation control of the air conditioner 7.

Embodiment 4 FIG.
In each of the above embodiments, the set value is selected with the intention of only the administrator. This embodiment is characterized in that the intention regarding the comfort of the user of the room 6 is reflected in the air conditioning control.

  FIG. 11 is a block diagram showing the air conditioning control device 10 in the present embodiment. The present embodiment has a configuration in which a comfort level information receiving unit 16 is added to the configuration shown in the first embodiment. The comfort level information receiving unit 16 in the present embodiment is provided as comfort level information receiving means, and receives comfort level information indicating the comfort level of the user input by the user of the room 6.

  The comfort level information is information indicating the comfort of the room 6 such as “hot” or “cold” specified from an input screen (not shown) displayed on the user terminal 5, for example. The degree of comfort may be indicated by three or more levels instead of the two stages of “hot” and “cold”. When the user inputs comfort level information, the user terminal 5 transmits the input comfort level information to the air conditioning control device 10. When the comfort level information receiving unit 16 in the air-conditioning control apparatus 10 collects the comfort level information transmitted from the user terminal 5, the comfort level information collected from the user terminal 5 is aggregated to obtain a request regarding the comfort of the user. The user's request is information obtained by, for example, digitizing the degree of comfort such as “hot” or “cold” and calculating an average value thereof. For example, information such as raising or lowering the set temperature by one rank. Then, the requested request is sent to the set value selection unit 13.

  The set value selection unit 13 refers to the user's request sent from the comfort level information receiving unit 16 and changes the set value. For example, when the comfort is reduced because priority is given to reducing the current power consumption, a setting value (setting value at which PMV approaches 0) that makes the room 6 more comfortable than the current value is set as the setting value candidate storage unit 23. Are automatically selected from the set value candidates stored in, and sent to the air conditioning control unit 14.

  The air conditioning control unit 14 controls the operation of the air conditioner 7 based on the setting value changed by the setting value selecting unit 13 based on the comfort level information from the user in this way.

  According to the present embodiment, since the setting value reflecting the user's intention regarding comfort is automatically selected as described above, air conditioning control with improved comfort can be performed. .

Embodiment 5. FIG.
In the said Embodiment 4, the intention regarding the comfort of the user of the room 6 was reflected. However, in this case, there is a possibility that the setting related to the administrator's comfort may be invalidated. Therefore, in this embodiment, the intentions of both the administrator and the user are easily reflected.

  FIG. 12 is a block configuration diagram showing the air conditioning control device 10 in the present embodiment. The present embodiment has a configuration in which a request presentation unit 17 is added to the configuration shown in the fourth embodiment. The request presentation unit 17 in the present embodiment is provided as a presentation unit, and presents a request based on the comfort level information received by the comfort level information receiving unit 16 to the administrator. That is, the request presentation unit 17 presents a request regarding the user's comfort created by the comfort level information reception unit 16 to the administrator instead of the set value selection unit 13.

  The administrator refers to the request presented by the request presenting unit 17 when inputting a condition for setting value selection. Then, in addition to the position as an administrator, the conditions are input in consideration of the user's request. As a result, the set value selection unit 13 selects the set value that best matches the condition specified by the administrator who referred to the request, and changes the set value currently used for air conditioning control with the selected set value. To do. The air conditioning control unit 14 controls the operation of the air conditioner 7 based on the set value selected by the set value selecting unit 13 in this way.

  In addition, although the demand presentation part 17 in this Embodiment showed the request created by the comfort level information reception part 16 to an administrator, it received the comfort level information received by the comfort level information reception part 16 The comfort level information may be presented to the administrator as a user request.

Embodiment 6 FIG.
In each of the above-described embodiments, the Pareto optimal solution is obtained with reference to information related to the users in the room 6, for example, positional information of the seats of the respective users in the room 6. However, since the actual number of people and the number of people in the room are not considered even when referring to the information on the user of the room 6, for example, the set temperature is raised more than necessary even when the number of people in the room is small. Or may be lowered. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the comfort of the room 6 is further improved by referring to the number of people in the room 6 and the personal data (personal information) of the people in the room 6 in cooperation with the entrance / exit system. I was able to improve. The personal information used in the present embodiment includes personal information related to the user's preference for the environment in the space (temperature, humidity, wind speed, radiation), the constitution, and the like. Moreover, you may include the information regarding a user's condition (metabolism amount and clothes amount).
