Description

  The present invention relates to an energy management system including a central management device and a building-specific management device connected to the central management device, and an energy management system setting method.

  In recent years, energy conservation awareness has been increasing not only at the corporate level but also at the household level, and energy management systems have been introduced into buildings used as houses to perform energy management.

  When introducing this energy management system, a building-specific management device must be installed in the target building, and initial settings must be made to import the data required for energy management into this building-specific management device. When the data changes, the setting must be changed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2009-130985 A

  However, in the conventional energy management system such as Patent Document 1 described above, when performing the initial setting or the setting change, all the data necessary for energy management is stored in the building where the building-specific management device is installed. Since manual input has to be performed through an interface such as a mouse or a keyboard, a long work is required.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an energy management system and an energy management system setting method capable of shortening a long-time operation when performing initial setting or setting change.

  To achieve the above object, an energy management system according to the present invention is an energy management system in which a central management device and a building-specific management device are connected via an external communication network, and the central management device is a building. It is possible to retrieve the data of the storage device that stores the data of information necessary for energy management of the building, and the building management device fetches the data from the central management device, and the building management device It is possible to perform initial setting or setting change.

  Here, when the central management apparatus receives an access from the building management apparatus, the central management apparatus may identify the building in which the building management apparatus is installed and make the data available.

  The central management device may identify the building in which the building management device is installed based on building identification code data stored in the building management device.

  Further, the storage device storing the data of information necessary for energy management of the building is installed in a location different from the central management device, and the central management device is accessed by the building management device. Then, it is preferable that the data is extracted from the storage device and the data can be taken into the building management device.

  In addition, the storage device installed in a location different from the central management device is the department-specific information storage device installed in a plurality of different departments of the management company in which the central management device is installed. It may be a general information storage device that centrally manages data.

  Further, if there is a deficiency in the data necessary for energy management of the building stored in the storage device, the deficiency is manually input via the interface into the building-specific management apparatus and complemented. Should be possible.

  Further, after the shortage of the data is supplemented and the initial setting or setting change of the building-specific management device is performed, the central management device may receive the data of the information and store it in the storage device.

  Furthermore, the data of the information necessary for energy management of the building may include data for associating the branch circuit of the distribution board with the power load connected thereto.

  The energy management system setting method of the present invention is an energy management system setting method in which a central management device and a building-specific management device are connected via an external communication network, wherein the building-specific management device is the external device. The initial setting or setting of the building-specific management device by fetching the data from the central management device that can retrieve the data of the storage device that stores the data of information necessary for building energy management via a communication network It is characterized by making a change.

  The central management device can retrieve data from a storage device that stores information data necessary for building energy management. The building-specific management device captures data from the central management device, The management apparatus can be initially set or changed.

  Because of the configuration described above, access to the central management device from the building-specific management device side requires only data acquisition, and most of the information data required for building energy management is acquired. Alternatively, the setting can be changed in a short time.

  In particular, even in a distribution board having a large number of branch circuits, such as an information distribution board that has become widespread in recent years, the working time can be greatly reduced.

  Here, when the central management device receives access from the building-specific management device, the central management device identifies the building where the building-specific management device is installed and makes it possible to capture data. It is possible to identify the building in which the building is installed from the building-specific management device, and to make it possible to accurately and instantaneously extract information data necessary for energy management of the building.

  In addition, when the central management device identifies the building in which the building management device is installed based on the building identification code data stored in the building management device, the building in which the building management device is installed Since the building identification code data is used to identify the building, the building can be easily identified.

  Furthermore, the storage device that stores the data of information necessary for building energy management is installed in a different location from the central management device. When the central management device accesses the storage device, the storage device When the data is extracted from the data management apparatus and the data can be taken into the building management apparatus, the data can be easily shared even when the data is used for other purposes.

  In addition, a storage device installed at a location different from the central management device centrally manages the data stored in the department-specific information storage devices distributed across multiple departments of the management company where the central management device is installed. In the case of the integrated information storage device, the data stored in the plurality of department-specific information storage devices is centrally managed by the integrated information storage device, and therefore can be easily used in the energy management system.

  Furthermore, if there is a deficiency in the data required for building energy management stored in the storage device, it is possible to supplement the deficiency by manually inputting it into the building-specific management apparatus via the interface. In that case, most of the information data necessary for building energy management has already been captured, so only a few shortages need to be dealt with.

  In addition, after completing the initial setting or setting change of the building-specific management device by compensating for the shortage of data, the central management device receives the data of the information and stores it in the storage device. If there is a deficiency in the data necessary for energy management of the building, the setting on the central management device side can be easily performed.

  Furthermore, if the information data necessary for building energy management includes data that associates the branch circuit of the distribution board with the power load connected to it, the information data necessary for energy management of the building In particular, since it includes data on the correspondence between the branch circuit of the distribution board that occupies an important position and the power load connected to it, at least an energy management system capable of managing the power consumption for each power load Can do.

  DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, modes for carrying out the present invention will be described based on examples shown in the drawings.

  First, the configuration of the embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of the energy management system of the embodiment, and is an explanatory diagram for explaining a setting method of the energy management system of the embodiment.

  The energy management system according to this embodiment is configured between a building H1 to HX in which building-specific management devices 1 such as personal computers are installed, and a central management device 2 connected via an external communication network N such as the Internet. It is made up of.

  The buildings H1 to HX are each provided with a repeater R such as a router so that it can be connected to an external communication network N such as the Internet.

  The buildings H1 to HX are each provided with a measuring instrument (not shown), and can measure the consumption of energy such as electricity, water, and gas.

  Then, the monitor 1a attached to the building-specific management apparatus 1 in the buildings H1 to HX displays its own energy consumption, the average value of similar buildings, and the like to enable management.

  In the setting method of the energy management system of this embodiment, the case where the energy management system of this embodiment is introduced into the building H will be described.

  In explaining the setting method of the energy management system of this embodiment, first, devices used for the setting method of the energy management system of this embodiment will be described.

  First, a comprehensive information storage device 3 as a storage device owned by a management company is connected to the central management device 2 via an external communication network N such as the Internet.

  The general information storage device 3 includes a sales information storage device 4 as a departmental information storage device installed in a sales department of a management company and a design information storage device as a departmental information storage device installed in a design department. 5 and 5 respectively.

  The central management device 2, the general information storage device 3, the sales information storage device 4, and the design information storage device 5 are all server devices capable of exchanging data.

  Next, a setting method of the energy management system of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 1 and the flowchart of FIG.

  In addition, in the setting method of the energy management system of this embodiment, the case where the management company of the energy management system and the contractor of the newly-built or existing building H are the same company is shown.

  First, a contract for introducing an energy management system is established in a newly built (or existing) building H (step S1).

  A building identification code (house code) is given based on this contract.

  Then, the sales department obtains sales information such as the family structure of the building H, the building area, the person in charge, etc., and inputs this sales information data to the sales information storage device 4 (step S2A).

  In parallel with this, the design department creates design information such as the area of the building, heat insulation, the branch circuit of the distribution board, and the correspondence of the power load of the branch circuit, and the design information storage device 5 stores this design information. Design information data is input (step S2B).

  Then, the sales information data stored in the sales information storage device 4 and the design information data stored in the design information storage device 5 are sent to the general information storage device 3 to be stored for data sharing. (Step S3).

  Subsequently, when a building identification code (house code) is input on the central management device 2 side, data is extracted from the general information storage device 3 to the central management device 2 and formatted as information data necessary for energy management of the building H. (Step S4).

  Finally, when a building identification code (house code) and a password are input on the building management device 1 side, the formatted data is fetched from the central management device 2 and the initial setting (or setting change) is completed (step). S5).

  Here, FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a part of the data of the association information between the branch circuit (number) and the power load connected thereto among the formatted data, which is only by manual input. And the amount of data that takes a considerable amount of time is also a typical building.

  Further, although only electricity is shown as energy, water and gas can be processed in substantially the same manner.

  In the case of changing the setting, it is particularly effective when applied when there is a significant change, such as after renovation of the building H.

  Although illustration is omitted, if there is a deficiency in data necessary for energy management of the building H stored in the general information storage device 3, an error message is displayed on the monitor of the building-specific management device 1. The

  In most cases, it is undecided at the time of building H, and it is a place that was blank, but if there is a small amount, the shortage is manually entered via the touch panel, mouse, keyboard, etc. If it is imported into the management apparatus 1 and complemented, the initial setting or setting change is completed.

  Further, after completing the initial setting or setting change of the building-specific management device 1 by supplementing the shortage of data, the central management device 2 receives the data of the information and stores it in the general information storage device 3, and the system To function normally.

  Next, functions and effects of the embodiment will be described.

  The energy management system of such an example is an energy management system in which the central management device 2 and the building-specific management device 1 are connected via an external communication network N such as the Internet.

  The central management device 2 can retrieve data of the general information storage device 3 as a storage device that stores data of information necessary for energy management of the building H. Data is taken in from the device 2 so that the initial setting or setting change of the building-specific management device 1 can be performed.

  Because of the above-described configuration, by accessing the central management device 2 side from the building-specific management device 1 side and requesting data acquisition, most of the information data necessary for energy management of the building H is acquired, and the building-specific management device 1 initial setting or setting change can be performed in a short time.

  In particular, even if the distribution board provided in the building H has a large number of branch circuits, such as an information distribution board that is becoming popular in recent years, the working time can be greatly shortened.

  Here, when the central management device 2 receives an access from the building-specific management device 1, the central management device 2 identifies the building H in which the building-specific management device 1 is installed, and sets the state in which data can be taken.

  For this reason, the central management device 2 can identify the building H in which the central management device 2 has been installed from the accessed management device 1 and accurately and instantaneously extract information data necessary for energy management of the building H It can be in a state.

  The central management device 2 identifies the building H in which the building management device 1 is installed based on building identification code (house code) data stored in the building management device 1.

  For this reason, since the building identification code (house code) data is used to identify the building H in which the building management apparatus 1 is installed, the building H can be easily identified.

  Furthermore, the general information storage device 3 as a storage device that stores data of information necessary for energy management of the building H is installed at a location different from the central management device 2. When the management device 1 accesses, the data is extracted from the general information storage device 3 so that the data can be taken into the building-specific management device 1.

  Therefore, data can be easily shared even when the data is used for other purposes.

  Other applications include, for example, introducing cases where energy consumption has been improved by reform and connecting to a server of a department that promotes reform.

  Further, the general information storage device 3 as a storage device installed at a location different from the central management device 2 is a department installed in a plurality of different departments of the management company in which the central management device 2 is installed. Data in the sales information storage device 4 and the design information storage device 5 as separate information storage devices is centrally managed.

  For this reason, since the data stored in the sales information storage device 4 and the design information storage device 5 as a plurality of department-specific information storage devices are centrally managed by the general information storage device 3, it can be easily managed in the energy management system. Can be used.

  Furthermore, if there is a deficiency in the data required for energy management of the building H stored in the general information storage device 3, the deficiency is managed by building manually via an interface such as a touch panel, mouse or keyboard. It is possible to capture and complement the device 1.

  For this reason, since most of the information data necessary for energy management of the building H has already been captured, it is only necessary to process a small shortage.

  In addition, after the shortage of data is complemented and the initial setting or setting change of the building management apparatus 1 is performed, the central management apparatus 2 receives the data of the information and stores it in the general information storage apparatus 3.

  For this reason, when the data necessary for energy management of the building H stored in the general information storage device 3 is insufficient, the setting on the central management device 2 side can be easily performed.

  Furthermore, the data of information required for energy management of the building H includes data for associating the branch circuit of the distribution board with the power load connected thereto.

  For this reason, in the data of the information necessary for energy management of the building H, since it includes data for associating the branch circuit of the distribution board occupying an important position and the power load connected thereto, at least the power It can be set as the energy management system which can manage the power consumption for every load.

  The setting method of the energy management system of such an example is a setting method of the energy management system in which the central management device 2 and the building-specific management device 1 are connected via an external communication network N such as the Internet.

  The building-specific management device 1 is capable of extracting data from the general information storage device 3 as a storage device that stores data of information necessary for energy management of the building H via an external communication network N such as the Internet. Data is taken from the management device 2 and the initial setting or setting change of the building-specific management device 1 is performed.

  Since it is an above-mentioned composition, there is the same operation effect as an operation effect of the energy management system of an example.

  As mentioned above, although the form for implementing this invention was explained in full detail based on the Example with reference to drawings, the concrete structure is not limited to this Example, and is a grade which does not deviate from the summary of this invention. Design changes are included in the present invention.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the contractor who mainly built the building H is the same as the management company of the energy management system has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Can be implemented even when the energy management system management company is different.

  In this case, when a contract for introducing an energy management system is made, a person in the sales department of the management company obtains in advance information data necessary for energy management of the building H and stores it in the general information storage device 3. Just keep it.
