Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a wireless heating / cooling control system and an automatic lighting control system,

The present invention relates to a wireless air conditioning control system and method, and more particularly, to a wireless air conditioning control system and method using an automatic lighting control facility for a common space or a private space of a building.

In general, a building incorporating automatic lighting control controls and monitors a large number of remote lights at a remote control PC in the central monitoring room. A program switch for lighting control is installed in the common unit and each room, and the lighting control panel in the distribution board is controlled by communication between the lighting control PC and the program switch for lighting control to turn on / off the lighting.

Remote integrated control of lighting in such buildings can contribute significantly to the efficiency of building lighting energy consumption.

However, in the case of heating and air-conditioning, where energy efficiency is very important, remote integration control is not yet performed. In the case of the air-conditioning system installed in the building, although a remote control can be provided by installing a communication line between the remote control room and the cooling / heating system of the corresponding system, the system cooling / heating system itself and a communication line are not installed to implement such networking.

However, most buildings do not have system air conditioning or are installed in some areas. In addition, in the case where an individual air-conditioning system is provided instead of a system air-conditioning system, whether it is a private space or a public space, remote control of air-conditioning and heating itself is a problem.

Accordingly, there is a demand for system networking means and control means capable of maximizing the cooling / heating efficiency of the building itself by remotely and integrally controlling the cooling / heating facilities provided or installed in the buildings.
