The plurality of other patterns include a summer stop pattern, a summer blow-down pattern, a heat exhaust ventilation pattern, a heat exhaust assist pattern, an absent pattern, and a rain pattern.

In the summer stop pattern, when room temperature <outside air temperature and room temperature <reference temperature t1, the opening (the top light 9, the ground window 10, the space 11) is closed, and the fan (the ceiling fan 12) is stopped, and the air conditioner 8 is set to stop.
That is, this summer stop pattern is when the room temperature is lower than the outside air temperature and the room temperature is lower than the reference temperature t1 (the room temperature is a sufficiently comfortable value and the outdoor is hot compared to the room. ), The openings 9, 10, and 11 are closed, the fan 12 is stopped, and the cooling / heating device 8 is also stopped. In other words, the system is set to stop all operations (functions) while the system is in the ON state.
The summer stop pattern is hereinafter referred to as A mode (in summer).

The summer down-flowing pattern is such that when room temperature + α ° C.> upper temperature and upper temperature <outside air temperature <reference temperature t1, among the openings 9, 10, 11 the openings between the chambers (between the columns 11). The opening (the top light 9 and the ground window 10) between the house 1 and the outside is closed, the fan (the ceiling fan 12) is operated, and the air conditioner 8 is stopped. It is set to be.
That is, this summer down-flow pattern is obtained when the value obtained by adding α ° C. to room temperature is higher than the upper temperature, the outside air temperature is lower than the reference temperature t1, and the upper temperature is further lower than the outside air temperature (top When the vicinity of the light 9 is lower than room temperature + α ° C. and the outside air temperature is lower than the reference temperature t1, that is, when the outdoor is cooler but not enough to be experienced), the openings 9, 10 are closed, The opening 11 is opened, the fan 12 is operated downward, and the cooling / heating device 8 is stopped. According to such a setting, the cool air near the toplight 9 can be lowered downward by the ceiling fan 12.
The summer down-flowing pattern is hereinafter referred to as a (summer) B mode.

In the exhaust heat ventilation pattern, when room temperature> outside air temperature, the opening (the top light 9, the ground window 10, the space 11) is opened, the fan (the ceiling fan 12) is stopped, It is set to stop the air conditioner 8.
That is, the exhaust heat ventilation pattern is obtained when the room temperature is higher than the outside air temperature (for example, when the room temperature is high, the outside air temperature is low, and there is a vertical temperature difference in the house 1), 10 and 11 are opened, the fan 12 is stopped, and the cooling / heating device 8 is stopped. According to such setting, it is possible to take in the outside air from the ground window 10 and exhaust the heat from the top light 9 using the upper and lower temperature difference in the house 1.
The exhaust heat ventilation pattern is hereinafter referred to as C mode (in summer).

In the exhaust heat assist pattern, when room temperature> outside air temperature, room temperature + α ° C.> upper temperature, and upper temperature> outside air temperature, the opening (the top light 9, the ground window 10, the space 11) is formed. The fan (the ceiling fan 12) is operated in an open state, and the cooling / heating device 8 is stopped.
That is, this exhaust heat assist pattern is when the room temperature is higher than the outside air temperature, the numerical value obtained by adding α ° C. to the room temperature is higher than the upper temperature, and the upper temperature is higher than the outside air temperature (for example, the room temperature is lower). When the temperature is high, the outside air temperature is low, and the temperature difference between the top and bottom is small, the openings 9, 10, and 11 are opened, the fan 12 is operated upward, and the cooling and heating device 8 is stopped. According to such setting, the exhaust heat can be promoted by the ceiling fan 12 even when the difference between the upper and lower temperature is small, and the outside air can be taken in from the ground window 10 and exhausted from the top light 9. That is, the ceiling fan 12 assists exhaust heat.
Note that “α ° C.” is “3 ° C.” in the present embodiment. This numerical value is an arbitrary numerical value, and may be based on the experience of the user (resident) (hereinafter the same).
The exhaust heat assist pattern is hereinafter referred to as a (summer) D mode.

In the cooling / heating pattern, when the reference temperature t1 <room temperature and the reference temperature t1 <outside air temperature, the opening (the top light 9, the ground window 10, the space 11) is closed, and the fan (the ceiling) The fan 12) is stopped and the cooling / heating device 8 is set to perform a cooling operation.
That is, in this air conditioning pattern, when the reference temperature t1 is lower than the room temperature and the reference temperature t1 is lower than the outside air temperature (the room temperature is high, the outside air temperature is high, and the ventilation effect cannot be expected) In the state), the openings 9, 10, and 11 are closed, the fan 12 is stopped, and the cooling / heating device 8 is set in a cooling operation. According to such a setting, the whole room can be cooled by the cooling operation by the air conditioner 8 regardless of the outside air temperature.
The air conditioning pattern is hereinafter referred to as (summer) E mode.

In addition, the control unit operates in any mode (pattern) of the B mode (summer downflow pattern), the C mode (exhaust heat ventilation pattern), and the D mode (exhaust heat assist pattern). When the room temperature> the reference temperature t1, the number of times is set to the operation cycle in the mode. And when it does not switch from the said mode to another mode within frequency limits, the process which switches from the said mode to the said E mode (air-conditioning pattern) is performed.
That is, when the room temperature is higher (hot) than the reference temperature t1 and the indoor air conditioning environment cannot be improved by any of the B mode, the C mode, and the D mode, the mode is switched to the E mode. It will be replaced. In addition, since the number limit is set, each mode (B, C, D) is not continued beyond the number.
The controller constantly monitors the operation cycle, and is counted while the operation cycle is performed in the same mode. When switching to another mode, the count up to that point is reset and the count of the mode after switching is set to start. Since the required time of the operation cycle is determined as described above, the number of times is limited to the time.
Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, each of the B mode, the C mode, and the D mode for which the frequency limit is set will be represented as a B ′ mode, a C ′ mode, and a D ′ mode.

Further, the control unit automatically switches from the cooling / heating pattern to the other patterns when the outside air temperature ≦ room temperature−α ° C. after repeating the operation cycle by the cooling / heating pattern a predetermined number of times. I do. In addition, when the outside air temperature> room temperature−α ° C., the resident can select the continuation of the heating / cooling pattern or switching to the other patterns according to the comparison result between the outside air temperature and the room temperature or the reference temperature. (Selection transfer process).
That is, when the outside air temperature is the same as room temperature-α ° C or lower than room temperature-α ° C. (when the outdoor is cooler than the room), the control unit changes from the cooling / heating pattern to the plurality of other patterns. And switch automatically. Further, when the outside air temperature is higher than room temperature-α ° C. (when the outdoor is hotter than the room temperature-α ° C. indoors), the control unit continues the cooling / heating pattern or switches to the plurality of other patterns. , The process which makes it selectable by a resident is performed.

The plurality of patterns as described above are A mode (summer stop pattern), B mode / B ′ mode (summer downflow pattern), C mode / C ′ mode (exhaust heat ventilation pattern), D mode / D ′. It is set so that the exhaust heat effect in the room and the house 1 gradually increases in the order of the mode (exhaust heat assist pattern) and the E mode (cooling / heating pattern). That is, among the A to E modes, the closer to the A mode, the lower the exhaust heat effect, and the closer to the E mode, the higher the exhaust heat effect.
However, since the mode is appropriately changed according to the temperature condition, the air conditioning effect obtained at that time is close to the optimum.

The plurality of patterns as described above are controlled in more detail based on various combined conditions as shown in FIG.
Such conditions include, for example, a comparison between room temperature and reference temperature t1, a comparison between outside temperature and reference temperature t1, a comparison between room temperature and outside temperature, a comparison between upper temperature and outside temperature, and a comparison between room temperature and upper temperature. There is a comparison.
Each mode is selected according to the conditions to be combined, and even in each mode, the states of the openings 9, 10, and 11 and the operating conditions of the air conditioning unit 8 and the fan 12 may be different. .
In addition, when there is a desire to live a life without using an air conditioner or the like from the viewpoint of environmental protection in recent years, this system is configured so that the E mode can be replaced with another mode. And At that time, as it is closer to the E mode as described above, the exhaust heat effect is higher. Therefore, setting so as to be replaced from the E mode to the D mode is preferable because the exhaust heat effect is high. Note that such settings can be manually set on a setting screen (not shown) displayed on the display unit, or manually set with a dedicated remote controller so that the user can arbitrarily set the settings. Shall.

  Note that when performing pattern determination in summer, pattern determination is performed based on various combined conditions as described above. However, when conditions conflict between multiple patterns (so-called batting), which pattern is selected? It is desirable to select or determine the priority order in advance. Such priority determination may be arbitrarily set by the user or may be set in advance in the system. In summer pattern discrimination, for example, a case where conditions are batting between the C mode and the D mode is conceivable. In such a case, the pattern discrimination is performed in accordance with a predetermined priority order.

[Summer absence pattern]
Next, the absence pattern in each room 3, 4 etc. in summer will be described.
This absence pattern is a pattern that is selected when the presence sensor that is the occupancy status input means 16 detects that a person is absent. If the occupancy status input means 16 is provided only in the room 3, the occupancy status of the room 3 can be determined, but it cannot be determined whether it is at home. Therefore, the presence sensor that is the occupancy status input means 16 is arranged on the live activity line in the house 1 including the room 4. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a manual button for notifying home / absence may be used.
The absence pattern is set to perform the above-described A-mode operation when there is no person in the house 1 and it is raining. Further, when there is no person in the house 1 and when it is not raining, and when the outside air temperature is less than room temperature, the ground window 11 and the top light 9 are set in an open state. In addition, when there is no person in the house 1 and when it is not raining, and when the outside air temperature is lower than the upper temperature, the top light 9 is set in an open state.
That is, this absence pattern is an air conditioning pattern for performing minimum ventilation when no person is present in the house 1.

[Summer rainfall pattern]
Next, a description will be given of a raining pattern in each of the rooms 3 and 4 in the summer.
In this raining pattern, the control unit controls the opening / closing of the openings 9 and 10 (, 21) facing outside based on the rain information input by the rain sensor which is the rain information input means 26 at home. It is set to be.
In the rainy pattern, the above-described E mode operation and A mode operation are selectively performed after the summer reference temperature is t1 and the openings 9, 10 (, 21) facing the outside are closed. Is set to do.
More specifically, after detecting rain and closing the openings 9 and 10 (, 21), when the room temperature ≧ the reference temperature t1, the fan 12 is stopped and the E mode operation in which the air conditioner 8 is operated is started. . Further, when the room temperature <the reference temperature t1, the fan 12 is stopped and the A mode operation in which the cooling / heating device 8 is stopped is started.
That is, this raining pattern is a pattern for performing air conditioning in a state where the openings 9, 10 (, 21) are closed when a person is present in the house 1.
In winter, the openings 9, 10, and 21 are basically closed, so that the raining pattern is not started even when it rains.

In the indoor air conditioning system, a plurality of patterns in the bedroom 5 are collectively referred to as “sleep mode” hereinafter. That is, the plurality of patterns in the bedroom 5 are the forms of air conditioning adopted when a person sleeps in the bedroom 5 and after the room 3 to be air-conditioned is switched from the room 3 which is a living room to the room 5 which is a bedroom. It is.

That is, the sleep mode summer stop pattern is a setting in which, when the room temperature is lower than the reference temperature t1, the openings 21 and 22 are closed, the fan 12 is stopped, and the air conditioner 20 is also stopped. In other words, the system is set to stop all operations (functions) while the system is in the ON state.
Hereinafter, the summer stop pattern in the room 5 which is the bedroom will be referred to as (summer) A1 mode.

As shown in FIG. 7, in the sleep mode exhaust heat assist pattern, when the room temperature ≧ the reference temperature t1 and the room temperature ≧ the outside air temperature, the opening (the high window 21, the space 22) is opened, and the fan (Ceiling fan 12) is operated and the cooling / heating device 20 is stopped.
That is, in the sleep mode exhaust heat assist pattern, when the room temperature is equal to or higher than the reference temperature t1 and the room temperature is equal to or higher than the outside air temperature, the openings 21 and 22 are In this setting, the fan 12 is opened, the fan 12 is operated upward, and the cooling / heating device 20 is stopped. With this setting, the exhaust heat can be promoted by the ceiling fan 12 even when the exhaust heat using the upper and lower temperature difference cannot be obtained on the upper floor of the house 1. That is, the ceiling fan 12 assists exhaust heat.
The summer heat exhaust assist pattern in the room 5 which is the bedroom is hereinafter referred to as a (summer) D1 mode.

As shown in FIG. 8, in the sleep mode air conditioning pattern, when room temperature ≧ reference temperature t1 and room temperature <outside air temperature, the opening (the high window 21, the space 22) is closed, and the fan (ceiling) The fan 12) is stopped and the air conditioner 20 is set to operate.

In this setting, the cooling / heating device 20 is operated. If it is such a setting, the air conditioning of the room 5 which is a bedroom can be performed by the ventilation driving | operation by the air conditioning apparatus 20 irrespective of external temperature etc.
Hereinafter, the air conditioning pattern in the summer in the room 5 which is the bedroom is referred to as an (summer) E1 mode.

[Multiple patterns in winter]
The plurality of patterns for the winter season include a plurality of patterns in each of the rooms 3 and 4 except the room 5 serving as a bedroom, and a pattern in the room 5 serving as a bedroom.
Therefore, first, a plurality of patterns in each of the chambers 3 and 4 will be described.
The plurality of patterns in each room 3, 4, etc. in the winter season include the air conditioning pattern and the plurality of other patterns as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 5, and 9. The plurality of other patterns include a winter stop pattern and a winter downfall pattern.
In winter, the control unit controls the presence of the person in the room by the room presence input means 16 and a plurality of patterns for the winter.

In the winter stop pattern, when the room temperature + β ° C.> the upper temperature, the opening (the top light 9, the ground window 10, the space 11) is closed, the fan (the ceiling fan 12) is stopped, The air conditioner 8 is set to stop.
That is, this winter stop pattern is obtained when the value obtained by adding β ° C. to the room temperature is higher than the upper temperature (when the room temperature is a sufficiently comfortable value and the outdoor is cold compared to the room). The openings 9, 10, and 11 are closed, the fan 12 is stopped, and the cooling / heating device 8 is also stopped. In other words, the system is set to stop all operations (functions) while the system is in the ON state.
Note that “β ° C.” is “5 ° C.” in the present embodiment. This numerical value is an arbitrary numerical value, and may be based on the experience of the user (resident) (hereinafter the same).
The winter stop pattern is hereinafter referred to as A mode (in winter).

In the winter blowing down pattern, when room temperature + β ° C. <upper temperature, among the openings 9, 10, 11, the openings between the rooms (the space 11) are opened, and the interior of the house 1 and the outside The opening (the top light 9 and the ground window 10) between them is closed, the fan (the ceiling fan 12) is operated, and the cooling / heating device 8 is stopped.
That is, in this winter blowing down pattern, when the numerical value obtained by adding β ° C. to the room temperature is lower than the upper temperature (when the vicinity of the top light 9 is higher than the room temperature), the openings 9 and 10 are closed. The opening 11 is opened, the fan 12 is operated downward, and the cooling / heating device 8 is stopped. According to such a setting, the warm air in the vicinity of the top light 9 can be lowered downward by the ceiling fan 12.
Hereinafter, the winter down-flowing pattern is referred to as B mode (in winter).

In the cooling / heating pattern, when room temperature <reference temperature t2, the opening (the top light 9, the ground window 10, and the space 11) is closed, the fan (the ceiling fan 12) is stopped, and the cooling / heating is performed. The apparatus 8 is set to perform heating operation.
That is, this air-conditioning pattern closes the openings 9, 10, and 11 when the room temperature is lower than the reference temperature t2 (when the room temperature is low, the outside air temperature is low, and the upper temperature is low), The fan 12 is stopped and the cooling / heating device 8 is set to perform heating operation. According to such a setting, the whole room can be warmed by the heating operation by the cooling / heating device 8 regardless of the outside temperature.
The winter air-conditioning pattern is set so that the occupancy status of the person is confirmed by the occupancy status input means and is operated only when the occupant is in the room.
Hereinafter, this air conditioning pattern is referred to as an E mode (in winter).

The plurality of patterns described above gradually increase the heating effect in the room and thus in the house 1 in the order of A mode (winter stop pattern), B mode (winter down pattern), and E mode (cooling / heating pattern). Is set to That is, of A, B, and E modes, the closer to A mode, the lower the heating effect, and the closer to E mode, the higher the heating effect.
However, since the mode is appropriately changed according to the temperature condition, the air conditioning effect obtained at that time is close to the optimum.

Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the plurality of patterns as described above are controlled in more detail based on various combined conditions.
Such conditions include, for example, occupancy status, comparison between room temperature and reference temperature t2, and comparison between room temperature and upper temperature.
Each mode is selected according to the conditions to be combined, and even in each mode, the states of the openings 9, 10, and 11 and the operating conditions of the air conditioning unit 8 and the fan 12 may be different. .
In addition, when there is a desire to live a life without using an air conditioner or the like from the viewpoint of environmental protection in recent years, this system is configured so that the E mode can be replaced with another mode. And At that time, as it is closer to the E mode as described above, the heating effect is higher. Therefore, setting so that the E mode is replaced with the B mode is preferable because the heating effect is high. If the condition of the B mode is not satisfied, the A mode may be set to be replaced. Note that such settings can be manually set on a setting screen (not shown) displayed on the display unit, or manually set with a dedicated remote controller so that the user can arbitrarily set the settings. Shall.

  In the winter pattern determination, pattern determination is performed based on various combined conditions as described above. However, when conditions conflict between a plurality of patterns (so-called batting), which pattern is selected. It is desirable to select or determine the priority order in advance. Such priority determination may be arbitrarily set by the user or may be set in advance in the system. In winter pattern discrimination, for example, there may be conditions where the temperature conditions are the same and can be discriminated only by the presence / absence of a person's room. In such a case, according to a predetermined priority order. Pattern discrimination is performed.

[Pattern in winter in room 5 as a bedroom]
Although not shown in the winter pattern in the room 5 which is a bedroom, there is no option to open the openings 21 and 22, and there is no option to operate the fan 12 downward particularly during normal bedtime (nighttime). Only air conditioning by the device 20 is performed.
That is, the winter pattern in the room 5 which is the bedroom is an air-conditioning pattern, and when the room temperature is lower than the reference temperature t2 (when the room temperature is low, the outside temperature is low, and the upper temperature is also low), In this setting, the openings 21 and 22 are closed, the fan 12 is stopped, and the cooling / heating device 20 is heated. According to such a setting, the whole room can be warmed by the heating operation by the cooling / heating device 20 regardless of the outside temperature.
Hereinafter, the winter air-conditioning pattern in the room 5 which is the bedroom will be referred to as an (in winter) E1 mode.

[Air conditioning control method by indoor air conditioning system]
Next, an example of a method for controlling the air conditioners 8 and 20, the top light 9, the ground window 10, the space 11 and 22, the high window 21, and the ceiling fan 12 by the control unit of the indoor air conditioning system of the present embodiment, This will be described with reference to the drawings shown in FIGS.

In the initial state, the toplight 9, the ground window 10, the balustrades 11 and 22, and the high window 21 are closed, and the ceiling fan 12 and the air conditioners 8 and 20 are stopped.
First, the indoor air conditioning system is turned on by the remote controller. As a result, as shown in FIG. 10, the system is started to operate (step S1).
Subsequently, it is determined whether the present is summer or winter (step S2). The criterion is date, and one year is divided into two periods, and it is determined whether the current date corresponds to summer or winter. In addition, a temperature detection process may be performed prior to the summer / winter judgment, and it may be determined whether the summer or winter is suitable according to the temperature of the day. In other words, by providing the system with a time setting function and a calendar function, it becomes easier to judge summer and winter. Or a user (resident) may set suitably.
If it is determined in step S2 that it is summer, the process proceeds to a summer process, and if it is determined to be winter, the process proceeds to a winter process. Note that the summer reference temperature t1 and the winter reference temperature t2 are set in advance. That is, in the present embodiment, the reference temperature t1 = 28 ° C. and the reference temperature t2 = 22 ° C.

Next, the summer process will be described (FIGS. 11 to 13).
First, in step S3, temperature detection processing is performed by the room temperature detection means 13, 23, the outside air temperature detection means 14, and the upper temperature detection means 15, and the room temperature, the outside air temperature, and the upper temperature are detected.
In the next step S4, based on the presence / absence information of the person detected by the occupancy status input means 16, it is determined whether the occupancy is present or absent. If the user is in the room, the process proceeds to step S5. If the user is absent, the process proceeds to step S6 to start the absent pattern (described later).
In step S5, it is determined whether or not the rain information is sent to the control unit. At this time, if there is no rain information, the process proceeds to step S7, and if there is rain information, the process proceeds to step S8 to start a raining pattern (described later).

  In step S7, it is determined whether or not the input information is sent to the control unit. At this time, if there is input information, the air-conditioning target room is switched from the room 3 as the living room to the room 5 as the bedroom (step S9). Specifically, the openings 9, 10, and 11 of the rooms 3 and 4 except the room 5 that is a bedroom are closed, or the cooling and heating device 8 is stopped. And it progresses to the following step S10 and starts sleep mode (it mentions later).

If it is determined in step S7 that there is no input information, in the next step S11, it is determined whether or not the number of times limit is set for the current operation cycle (mode). The modes in which the number limit is set are the above-described B ′ mode, C ′ mode, and D ′ mode. Therefore, when the operation cycle is performed in other modes, “NO” is determined. If the operation cycle is performed in any of the B ′ mode, the C ′ mode, and the D ′ mode, the determination of “YES” is made. If the system has just been started, a determination of “NO” is made.
After the determination of “NO” is made, the process proceeds to the pattern determination process of step S12, and after the determination of “YES” is made, the process proceeds to step S13.
In step S12, a mode suitable for the indoor temperature environment is determined based on the detected room temperature, outside air temperature, upper temperature, and reference temperature t1. Here, the A mode, the B, C, D mode, and the E mode are discriminated.
If it is determined in step S12 that the A mode is selected, the A mode pattern operation is started (step S14).
If it is determined in step S12 that the E mode is selected, pattern operation in the E mode is started (step S15). The detailed flow of the E mode will be described later.
If it is determined in step S12 that the mode is the B, C, or D mode, the room temperature is compared with the reference temperature t1 in step S16, and then the process proceeds to the next step (step S17 or step S21).
In step S13, it is determined whether or not the mode in which the frequency limit is set is within the frequency limit. If it is within the number limit, the process proceeds to step S12. If the number limit is exceeded, the process proceeds to the E mode in step S15.

If the room temperature is lower than the reference temperature t1 as a result of the comparison between the room temperature and the reference temperature t1 in step S16, the B mode, the C mode, and the D mode are determined again (step S17).
When it is determined that the mode is the B mode in step S17, the B mode pattern operation is started (step S18). If it is determined that the mode is the C mode, the C mode pattern operation is started (step S19). If it is determined that the mode is the D mode, the D mode pattern operation is started (step S20).
After the pattern operation in each mode is performed for a predetermined time (2 minutes), the process returns to the temperature detection process in step S3, and the operation cycle is completed. However, until it is determined in which mode the next pattern operation is performed (1 minute), the pattern operation of the operation cycle before one cycle is continued.

If the room temperature is higher than the reference temperature t1 as a result of the comparison between the room temperature and the reference temperature t1 in step S16, the B ′ mode, the C ′ mode, and the D ′ mode with a limited number of times are determined (step S16). S21).
If it is determined in step S21 that the mode is the B ′ mode, the pattern operation in the B ′ mode is started (step S22). When it is determined that the mode is the C ′ mode, the pattern operation in the C ′ mode is started (step S23). If it is determined that the mode is the D ′ mode, the pattern operation in the D ′ mode is started (step S24).
After the pattern operation in each mode is performed for a predetermined time (2 minutes), the process returns to the temperature detection process in step S3, and the operation cycle is completed. However, until it is determined in which mode the next pattern operation is performed (1 minute), the pattern operation of the operation cycle before one cycle is continued.
Then, in the next step S11, it is determined whether or not the number limit is set for the current operation cycle. At this time, since the B ′ mode operation, the C ′ mode operation, and the D ′ mode operation are counted by the control unit, a determination of “YES” is made.
In the next step S13, as described above, it is determined whether or not the mode in which the number limit is set is within the number limit. If it is within the number limit, the process proceeds to step S12. If the number limit is exceeded, the process proceeds to the E mode in step S15. In the present embodiment, the number of times is limited to 10 times.

As shown in FIG. 12, after shifting to the E mode, the pattern operation in the E mode is performed a predetermined number of times in order to reliably obtain the cooling effect by the cooling and heating device 8. In this embodiment, the E mode operation is set to be performed 10 times (10 operation cycles, that is, 3 minutes × 10 times = 30 minutes).
More specifically, first, in step S25, an E-mode pattern operation is executed, and in step S26, it is determined whether or not the E-mode pattern operation has reached a predetermined number of times. If the predetermined number of times has not been reached, the E mode operation is repeated. If the predetermined number of times has been reached, the process proceeds to the next step S27.
Note that the E-mode operation is counted by the control unit.

In step S27, temperature detection processing is performed by the room temperature detection means 13, the outside air temperature detection means 14, and the upper temperature detection means 15, and the room temperature, the outside air temperature, and the upper temperature are detected.
In subsequent step S28, in the temperature detection result in step S27, it is determined whether the outside air temperature is equal to or lower than room temperature-α ° C or whether the outside air temperature is higher than room temperature-α ° C.
When the temperature detection result is “the outside air temperature is equal to room temperature−α ° C. or lower than room temperature−α ° C.”, the process automatically shifts to the pattern determination process during the E mode in step S29 (automatic transfer process).
When the temperature detection result is “the outside air temperature is higher than room temperature−α ° C.”, the process proceeds to step S30.
Note that “α ° C.” is “3 ° C.” in the present embodiment.

In step S30, determination is made whether the temperature detection result in step S27 is “the outside air temperature is equal to or lower than the reference temperature t1” and “the outside air temperature is higher than the reference temperature t1”.
When the temperature detection result is “the outside air temperature is higher than the reference temperature t1”, the outside air temperature is high, so the process returns to step S25 and the E mode is continued.
When the temperature detection result is “the outside air temperature is equal to or lower than the reference temperature t1,” the control unit issues an alert. Specifically, on the display unit of the remote controller, it is displayed that the outside temperature is equal to or lower than the reference temperature t1, or the information terminal that the user can see Information is transmitted (step S31).
Although the control unit issues an alert in accordance with the temperature detection result as described above, a voice guidance may be output.

In the next step S32, the user (resident) is allowed to select whether or not to shift to another mode (selection transfer process). Specifically, the display unit of the remote control and the display unit of the information terminal display the options “Transition to other mode” or “Do not transition to other mode”, and the user actually selects the system. Input work is performed.
When “Move to other mode” is selected and the information is input to the system, the process proceeds to the pattern determination process during the E mode in step S29 (selection transfer process).
When "Do not shift to other mode" is selected and the information is input to the system, the process proceeds to the next step S33. Also, when the user does not react and the input operation is not performed, the process proceeds to the next step S33.

In step S33, a determination is made whether the temperature detection result in step S27 is “the outside air temperature is equal to or lower than the room temperature” and “the outside air temperature is higher than the room temperature”.
When the temperature detection result is “the outside air temperature is higher than the room temperature”, the outside air temperature is high, so the process returns to step S25 and the E mode is continued.
When the temperature detection result is “the outside air temperature is equal to or lower than the room temperature”, the control unit issues an alert. Specifically, the remote control display unit displays that the “outside temperature is equal to or lower than room temperature” state, or transmits information to an information terminal that can be viewed by the user. (Step S35).
The information displayed on the display unit or the like of the remote controller is set to switch to the latest information. For example, the information displayed in step S31 is renewed to the new information when the information is newly displayed in step S34. Moreover, it is good also as a setting which is erase | eliminated after the preset predetermined time passes.

  In the next step S35, the user (resident) is allowed to select whether or not to shift to another mode (selection transfer process). The specific contents are substantially the same as in step S33, but if "Do not shift to other mode" is selected and the information is input to the system, the process returns to step S25 and the E mode is continued. The Moreover, also when a user does not react and input work is not performed, it returns to step S25.

In the pattern determination process during the E mode shown in FIG. 13, first, in step S36, it is determined whether or not the number of times is set to the current mode. When the operation cycle is performed in a mode other than the B ′ mode, the C ′ mode, and the D ′ mode, “NO” is determined. If the operation cycle is performed in any of the B ′ mode, the C ′ mode, and the D ′ mode, the determination of “YES” is made.
Then, after the determination of “NO” is made, the process proceeds to the pattern determination process in step S37, and after the determination of “YES” is made, the process proceeds to step S38.

In step S37, a mode suitable for the indoor temperature environment is determined based on the room temperature, the outside air temperature, the upper temperature, and the reference temperature t1 detected in step S27. Here, the A mode and the B, C, and D modes are discriminated. Since the transition is from the E mode to another mode, the E mode is not determined.
If it is determined in step S37 that the mode is A mode, pattern operation in A mode is started (step S39). After the end of the A mode operation, the process returns to the summer process of FIG.
If it is determined in step S37 that the mode is the B, C, or D mode, the room temperature is compared with the reference temperature t1 in step S40, and then the process proceeds to the next step (step S41 or step S45).
In step S38, it is determined whether or not the mode in which the number limit is set is within the number limit. If it is within the number limit, the process proceeds to step S37, and if the number limit is exceeded, the process proceeds to the E mode (same as step S15).

If the room temperature is lower than the reference temperature t1 as a result of the comparison between the room temperature and the reference temperature t1 in step S40, the B mode, the C mode, and the D mode are determined again (step S41).
If it is determined that the mode is the B mode in step S41, the B mode pattern operation is started (step S42). If it is determined that the mode is the C mode, the C mode pattern operation is started (step S43). If it is determined that the mode is the D mode, the D mode pattern operation is started (step S44).
After the pattern operation in each mode is completed, the process returns to the summer process in FIG.

If the room temperature is higher than the reference temperature t1 as a result of the comparison between the room temperature and the reference temperature t1 in step S40, the B ′ mode, the C ′ mode, and the D ′ mode with a limited number of times are determined (step S40). S45).
If it is determined in step S45 that the mode is the B ′ mode, the pattern operation in the B ′ mode is started (step S46). If it is determined that the mode is the C ′ mode, pattern operation in the C ′ mode is started (step S47). When it is determined that the mode is the D ′ mode, the pattern operation in the D ′ mode is started (step S48).
In the next step S49, a temperature detection process is performed in preparation for the next pattern discrimination (step S37).
Then, after the temperature detection process in step S49 is completed, the process returns to step S36, and the operation cycle of each mode with a limited number of cycles is completed. In step S36, it is determined whether or not the number of times is set for the current operation cycle (mode) as described above. At this time, since the B ′ mode operation, the C ′ mode operation, and the D ′ mode operation are counted by the control unit, a determination of “YES” is made.
In the next step S38, as described above, it is determined whether or not the mode in which the number limit is set is within the number limit. If it is within the number limit, the process proceeds to step S37, and if the number limit is exceeded, the process proceeds to the E mode (same as step S15). The number of times is limited to 10 times as described above.

  In the summer process, as described above, in the E mode or the mode with a limited number of times, after the operation cycle in the same mode continues for a predetermined number of times, the mode can be changed between the modes. Thereby, it is possible to switch from a mode having a low air-conditioning effect to a mode capable of exhibiting a higher air-conditioning effect, or to switch to a mode having a low air-conditioning effect after forming an optimal indoor air-conditioning environment.

As described above, the indoor air conditioning system operates in accordance with the summer process, and the indoor air conditioning is performed.
When the air conditioner 8 is stopped by the dedicated remote controller during the E mode, it is determined that the mode has been shifted to the A mode. Further, when the cooling / heating device 8 starts operating with the dedicated remote controller while operating in a mode other than the E mode, it is determined that the mode has shifted to the E mode. In addition, the control part has acquired the operating condition information of the air conditioning apparatus 8 at the timing of a temperature detection process.

Next, the absence pattern in summer will be described.
In step S4, based on the presence / absence information of the person detected by the occupancy status input means 16, if the presence / absence determination is made, Thus, the process proceeds to step S6, and the absence pattern shown in FIG. 14 is started.
In the absence pattern, first, in step S50, it is determined whether or not the current weather is raining. In addition, the judgment of rain is performed based on the acquisition of weather information by the control unit and the rain (snow) sensor as described above.
In step S50, it is determined whether it is raining. If it is raining, the process proceeds to A mode operation in step S51. In other words, all the openings 9, 10, 11, 21, 22 of the house 1 are closed here.
If it is determined in step S50 that the rain has not occurred, the process proceeds to step S52. In step S52, the outside air temperature and the room temperature are compared, and the outside air temperature and the top temperature are compared.

In step S52, determinations of “1: outside air temperature <room temperature”, “2: outside air temperature <upper temperature”, and “3: other than 1 and 2” are performed. Note that the outside temperature, the room temperature, and the upper temperature immediately before the start of the absence pattern (step S3) are adopted as the temperatures used as the determination criteria.
When the outside air temperature, which is option 1, is lower than room temperature, the process proceeds to step S53, and the ground window 10 and the top light 9 are opened. At this time, it is desirable that the spaces 11 and 22 are also opened. Thereby, the same effect as the above-mentioned C mode operation can be obtained.
If the outside air temperature, which is option 2, is lower than the upper temperature, the process proceeds to step S54, and the top light 9 is opened. At this time, it is desirable that the spaces 11 and 22 are also opened. As a result, exhaust heat utilizing the difference between the upper and lower temperatures can be performed.
And when the outside temperature which is the choice 3 is not lower than room temperature, and outside temperature is not lower than upper temperature, it transfers to step S42 and A mode driving | operation is performed and it does not put outside temperature in the house 1 To.

Further, it is assumed that the A mode operation in step S51 and the opening portions 9 and 10 in steps S53 and S54 are performed for a predetermined time (for example, 30 minutes, 1 hour, etc.). After the A mode operation or opening 9, 10 is performed for a predetermined time, the process returns to the start of the summer process.
Needless to say, in opening the openings 9 and 10 in steps S53 and S54, priority is given to the weather information and the detection result of the rain sensor. That is, even if it is in the middle of the time, if it becomes raining, it once returns to the start of the summer process, and if the absence pattern continues, it switches to A mode operation.

Next, the raining pattern in summer will be described.
In step S5, it is determined whether or not the rain information by the rain information input means 26 is sent to the control unit. If there is rain information, the process proceeds to step S8 and the rain pattern shown in FIG. To start.
In the raining pattern, first, the top light 9 is closed in step S55. Subsequently, the ground window 10 is closed in step S56. Moreover, as long as it is an opening part which faces the exterior, you may set so that the high window 21 and other windows may be obstruct | occluded.

In the subsequent step S57, the room temperature (by the room temperature detecting means 13) of the room 3 which is a living room is compared with the reference temperature t1.
When the room temperature of the room 3 is lower than the reference temperature t1, the process proceeds to step S58, and the summer A mode operation of the room 3 which is the room is performed. That is, it is a summer stop pattern, the fan 12 is stopped, and the air conditioning apparatus 8 is also stopped.
As a result of the comparison between the room temperature and the reference temperature t1, if the room temperature of the room 3 is equal to or higher than the reference temperature t1, the process proceeds to step S59 and the summer E of the room 3 which is the room is moved. Mode operation is performed. That is, it is an air conditioning pattern in summer, the fan 12 is stopped, and the air conditioning apparatus 8 is operated. Here, E-mode operation for 10 operation cycles is performed in the same manner as the above-described E-mode operation.

Thereafter, the room temperature of the chamber 3 (by the room temperature detecting means 13) and the reference temperature t1 are compared intermittently. Then, when the room temperature of the chamber 3 reaches the reference temperature t1−α ° C. (α ° C. is 3 ° C.) (that is, when the room temperature of the chamber 3 is lowered and becomes a comfortable living space), the step is performed. The process proceeds to S61.
In step S61, a “notification” is sent to the resident to inform the resident that the room temperature in the room 3 has decreased. After that, it is set to return to the summer process.

In step S60, when the room temperature of the chamber 3 is not the reference temperature t1−α ° C. and the chamber 3 is not in a comfortable state, the process further proceeds to step S62, and the room temperature of the chamber 3 is reduced to be equal to the reference temperature t1. A determination is made whether or not.
If the room temperature of the chamber 3 has fallen to the same level as the reference temperature t1, the process proceeds to step S63, and the control unit issues an alert. Specifically, it is displayed on the display unit of the remote controller that the “room temperature is equal to the reference temperature t1” state, or information is transmitted to the information terminal that the user can see.
Moreover, if the room temperature of the chamber 3 is not lowered to the same level as the reference temperature t1, the process proceeds to step S65, and the E mode operation is continued.

In the next step S64, the user (resident) is made to select whether or not to shift to another mode (selection transfer process). When “Do not shift to other mode” is selected and the information is input to the system, the process proceeds to step S65, and the E mode operation is continued. If the user does not react and the input operation is not performed, the process proceeds to step S65.
When transitioning to another mode, it is set to return to the summer process.

After the E-mode operation is continued for 10 operation cycles in step S65, a temperature detection process is performed in step S66. Subsequently, the room temperature of the chamber 3 is compared with the reference temperature t1 (step S67).
Then, when the room temperature of the chamber 3 becomes the reference temperature t1−α ° C., the control unit again sends an alert (step S68). In the next step S69, the user (resident) is made to select whether or not to shift to another mode (selection transfer process). When “Do not shift to other mode” is selected and the information is input to the system, the process proceeds to step S70 and the E mode operation is continued. If the user does not react and the input operation is not performed, the process proceeds to step S70.
When transitioning to another mode, it is set to return to the summer process.
If the room temperature of the chamber 3 is not the reference temperature t1−α ° C. in step S67, the process proceeds to step S70 and the E mode operation is continued, and thereafter (after 10 operation cycles), the process proceeds to step S66. The temperature detection process E mode operation is continued again.
As a result of returning to the summer process, when the raining pattern starts again, the openings facing the outside such as the toplight 9 and the ground window 10 (and the high window 21) are kept closed. It shall be.
As described above, indoor air conditioning control is performed in a state where the openings 9 and 10 (, 21) facing the outside are closed.

Next, the sleep mode in summer will be described.
In step S7, it is determined whether or not the input information from the input information input means 24 is sent to the control unit. Then, the process proceeds to step S10 to start the absence pattern shown in FIG.
In the sleep mode, first, in step S71, the room temperature of the room 5 which is the bedroom (by the room temperature detecting means 23) is compared with the reference temperature t1.
As a result of the comparison between the room temperature and the reference temperature t1, if the room temperature of the chamber 5 is equal to or higher than the reference temperature t1, the process proceeds to step S72.
When the room temperature of the room 5 is lower than the reference temperature t1, the process proceeds to step S73, and the summer A1 mode operation of the room 5 as a bedroom is performed. That is, it is a summer stop pattern in the sleep mode, the openings 21 and 22 are closed, the fan 12 is stopped, and the cooling and heating device 20 is also stopped.

In step S72, the room temperature of the room 5 is compared with the outside air temperature.
As a result of the comparison between the room temperature and the outside air temperature, if the room temperature of the room 5 is equal to or higher than the outside air temperature, the process proceeds to step S74 and the summer D1 mode operation of the room 5 serving as the bedroom is performed. Is done. That is, it is the exhaust heat assist pattern in the sleep mode, the openings 21 and 22 are opened, the fan 12 is operated upward, and the air conditioner 20 is stopped.

  If the room temperature is lower than the outside air temperature as a result of the comparison between the room temperature and the outside air temperature in step S72, the process proceeds to step S75, and the summer E1 mode operation of the room 5 serving as the bedroom is performed. Is called. That is, it is an air-conditioning pattern in the sleep mode, the openings 21 and 22 are closed, the fan 12 is stopped, and the air-conditioning apparatus 20 is blown.

In addition, each mode operation in steps S73, S74, and S75 is performed for a predetermined time (for example, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, etc.). In particular, since it is nighttime, frequent mode switching causes noise, and it is assumed that time is set in consideration of this.
And after each mode driving | running is performed only for the predetermined time, it returns to the summer process start. After returning to the start of the summer process, the presence / absence of input information is determined in step S7. If there is input information, the air-conditioning target room in step S9 is switched from the room 3 which is the living room to the room 5 which is the bedroom. It shall remain in the switched state and not be performed substantially.
In the D1 mode operation in step S74, priority is given to the weather information and the detection result of the rain sensor. That is, even if it is in the middle of the predetermined time, if it becomes rainy, it once returns to the start of the summer process, and when the sleep mode continues, it switches to A1 mode operation or E1 mode operation.

Next, the winter process will be described (FIGS. 10 and 17).
As described above, when it is determined in step S2 that it is winter, the winter process is started. After the start of the winter process, first, in step S76, temperature detection processing is performed by the room temperature detecting means 13, the outside air temperature detecting means 14, and the upper temperature detecting means 15, and the room temperature, the outside air temperature, and the upper temperature are detected.

  In the next step S77, based on the presence / absence information of the person detected by the occupancy status input means 16 (for example, a human sensor), a determination is made as to whether the person is present or absent. If it is present, the process proceeds to step S78, and if it is not present, the process proceeds to step S84.

In step S78 when the user is in the room, the room temperature is compared with the reference temperature t2.
If the room temperature is higher than the reference temperature t2 (when the room is relatively warm) as a result of the comparison between the room temperature and the reference temperature t2 in step S78, the process proceeds to step S79, and the discrimination between the A mode and the B mode is performed. Is called.
If it is determined in step S79 that the A mode is selected, the A mode pattern operation is started (step S80). If it is determined that the mode is the B mode, the B mode pattern operation is started (step S81).
After the pattern operation in each mode is completed, the process returns to step S76 to complete the operation cycle. However, until it is determined in which mode the next pattern operation is performed (1 minute), the pattern operation of the operation cycle before one cycle is continued.

If the room temperature is lower than the reference temperature t2 (when the room is cold) as a result of the comparison between the room temperature and the reference temperature t2 in step S78, the process proceeds to step S82, and E-mode pattern operation is started.
As described above, the operation cycle is set to 3 minutes per cycle. However, if the room is cold, the operation cycle may not be improved in 3 minutes. For this reason, the pattern operation in the E mode is set to be performed a predetermined number of times. In this embodiment, the E mode operation is set to be performed 10 times (10 operation cycles, that is, 3 minutes × 10 times = 30 minutes).
More specifically, first, in step S82, the E-mode pattern operation is executed, and in step S83, it is determined whether or not the E-mode pattern operation has reached a predetermined number of times. If the predetermined number of times has not been reached, the E mode operation is repeated. If the predetermined number of times has been reached, the process returns to step S76. However, the pattern operation in the E mode is continued until it is determined in which mode the next pattern operation is performed (1 minute).
Note that the E-mode operation is counted by the control unit.

  In the winter process, as described above, after the E mode continues for a predetermined number of times, it is set so that the mode can be shifted to another mode. As a result, after the optimum indoor air-conditioning environment is formed by the pattern operation in the E mode, it is possible to switch to the A mode or the B mode having a low air conditioning effect.

In the absence step S84, a mode suitable for the indoor temperature environment is determined based on the detected room temperature, outside temperature, upper temperature, and reference temperature t2 (22 ° C.). Since the setting is such that the pattern operation in the E mode is not performed when the user is absent, the A mode and the B mode are discriminated here.
If it is determined in step S84 that the mode is A, the pattern operation in A mode is started (step S85).
If it is determined that the mode is the B mode in step S84, the B mode pattern operation is started (step S86).

  After the pattern operation in each mode is performed for a predetermined time (2 minutes), the process returns to the temperature detection process in step S76, and the operation cycle is completed. However, until it is determined in which mode the next pattern operation is performed (1 minute), the pattern operation of the operation cycle before one cycle is continued.

As described above, the indoor air conditioning system operates in accordance with the winter process, and the indoor air conditioning is performed.
Moreover, when stopping an indoor air-conditioning system, it can be stopped by operating system OFF with the said remote control. At the time of a stop, each opening part 9,10,11 will be in the obstruction | occlusion state, and the fan 12 and the air conditioning apparatus 8 will also be in a stop state.

  Note that the sleep mode in winter (E1 mode in winter) is based on the room temperature after the input information is confirmed and the room to be air-conditioned is switched from the room 3 as the living room to the room 5 as the bedroom. When the temperature is lower than the temperature t2, the openings 21 and 22 are closed, the fan 12 is stopped, and the cooling / heating device 20 is set to perform a heating operation.

According to the present embodiment, the control unit includes a temperature detection process such as steps S3 and S76, a pattern determination process such as steps S12 and S79, and a pattern operation process such as steps S14, S15, S80, and S81. Since the operation cycle is repeatedly performed, a plurality of modes (summer A to E modes, winter A, B, and winter) determined based on the actual room temperature, the outside temperature, and preset reference temperatures t1 and t2 are used. E mode), the openings 9, 10, 11 and the fan 12, and the air conditioner 8 can be appropriately activated to perform indoor air conditioning. An optimal indoor air conditioning environment corresponding to the set reference temperatures t1 and t2 can be formed.
Furthermore, the fact that the operation cycle in the same mode among the plurality of modes continues for a predetermined number of times means that, for example, the state where the heat is maintained continues in the summer and the cold is maintained in the winter. This means that the state continues and the indoor air-conditioning environment is not improved, and there may be a case where the state is different from the actual sensation of the resident. Therefore, the control unit performs switching control between modes including the E mode and the plurality of other modes, thereby switching to a mode in which a higher air-conditioning effect can be exhibited, or optimal indoor air conditioning. Conversely, after the environment is formed, the mode can be switched to a mode of low air conditioning effect. As a result, it is possible to reliably clear the state where the indoor air-conditioning environment is not improved, and to obtain a substantial air-conditioning effect closer to the actual sensation of the occupant, and for example, waste of operating costs due to excessive operation of the air conditioner 8 Can be omitted.

  Moreover, since the said control part can control the said opening part 9,10,11, the said fan 12, and the said air conditioning apparatus 8 finely based on room temperature, external temperature, reference temperature t1, t2, and upper part temperature, it is summer. Even in winter, it is possible to form a more optimal indoor air conditioning environment.

Further, when the outside air temperature is the same as room temperature-α ° C or lower than room temperature-α ° C (when the outdoor is cooler than the inside of the rooms 3, 4 and 5), the control unit starts from the E mode. Since the mode is automatically switched to a plurality of other modes, the cooling / heating device 8 is stopped to reduce the operating cost of the cooling / heating device 8, and the indoor air conditioning is performed by ventilation by the openings 9, 10, 11 and the fan 12. The environment can be improved.
In addition, when the outside air temperature is higher than room temperature-α ° C. (when the outdoor is hotter than in the room 3, 4, 5 at room temperature-α ° C.), the control unit may continue the E mode or the plurality of others. Since the process of enabling the switch to the mode is selected by the occupant, it is possible to contribute to the formation of an indoor air-conditioning environment that takes into consideration the room temperature and the outside air temperature and meets the resident's wishes.

  Further, when the room temperature is higher (hot) than the reference temperature t1 and the indoor air conditioning environment cannot be improved by any of the B mode, the C mode, and the D mode, The mode can be switched to the E mode. In addition, since the number of times limit is set, each mode (B ′ mode, C ′ mode, D ′ mode) is not continued beyond the number of times, and the state where the indoor air-conditioning environment is not improved more reliably. Can be cleared.

In addition, the control unit controls a combination of the occupancy status of the person by the occupancy status input means 16 and a plurality of modes in the winter, and performs indoor air conditioning in the E mode only when the occupant is in the room. Therefore, the said air conditioning apparatus 8 can be stopped in the absence of a person. Thereby, the indoor air conditioning environment can be improved by the openings 9, 10, 11 and the fan 12 while reducing the operating cost of the air conditioner 8.
In this embodiment, the occupancy status of the person is determined by the occupancy status input means 16 only in the winter season. However, the occupancy status of the person is also determined in the same manner in the summer season. It may be. That is, indoor air conditioning is performed in the summer E mode only when a person is present, and the air conditioner 8 is stopped when no person is present. Further, in the absence of a person, it may be set so as to be replaced with a mode other than the E mode in both summer and winter.

  Moreover, since the top light 9, the ground window 10, the space 11 and the ceiling fan 12 can be controlled by the control unit, opening and closing of these openings 9, 10, and 11 The room air conditioning environment can be improved by appropriately stopping.

Further, the control unit performs control to switch the room to be air-conditioned between the room 3 which is the living room and the room 5 which is the bedroom based on the input information input by the input information input unit 24. When it is necessary to switch the air-conditioning target room according to human sleep, the air-conditioning target room can be appropriately switched between the room 3 and the room 5.
In addition, the control unit operates or states the openings 9, 10, 11, 21, 22 and / or the fan 12 and the air conditioners 8, 20 in the room 3 and the room 5 that are air conditioning target rooms, respectively. Are controlled in combination with a plurality of patterns. For example, in each of the chambers 3 and 5, air conditioning is performed in a pattern that can exhibit a high air conditioning effect. You can switch to a pattern. Thereby, even when the air-conditioning target room is the room 3, even when the air-conditioning target room is the room 5, a comfortable indoor air-conditioning environment can be formed.

  Moreover, since the said control part can control the said opening part 9,21,22, the said fan 12, and the said air conditioner 20 finely based on room temperature, external temperature, and the reference temperature t1, even in the summer, Even in winter, a more comfortable indoor air conditioning environment can be formed.

  Further, since the input information includes a detection result by a sensor (input information input means 24) that detects the sleeping of a person in the room 5, the control unit receives the detection result that is the input information, and receives the detection result as the room 3 and the room 5 Can be reliably switched.

  Further, since the input information includes the time zone or / and the person's home status or / and the power consumption of the lighting in the house 1, the control unit switches between the room 3 and the room 5 based on various information. Can be performed under more detailed conditions.

  In addition, since the room 5 is arranged on the upper floor of the house 1, for example, it becomes difficult to air-condition with a pattern of exhaust heat using the temperature difference between the upper and lower sides of the house 1, but air-conditioning control with an extra pattern. There is no need to do. That is, since the room 5 is a place where a person sleeps, it is desirable that the operation sound and the operation sound of various devices for air conditioning are small. Since there is no need to perform air conditioning control with an extra pattern, extra operating noises and operating sounds of various devices can be reduced, and a comfortable sleep environment can be formed in the room 5.

Moreover, since the control part can control opening and closing of the opening parts 9 and 10 (, 21) facing the outside based on the rain information input by the rain information input means 26, the opening part 9 facing the outside at the time of raining. , 10 (, 21) can be reliably closed.
And since the control part can finely control the opening parts 9 and 10 (, 21) facing the outside, the fan 12, and the air conditioner 8 based on the room temperature of the room 3 and the reference temperature t1, during the rain in summer Therefore, a more comfortable indoor air-conditioning environment can be formed.
