On the other hand, if the measured data is not included in the normal section, the controller 210 diagnoses an abnormality (S360). At this time, the controller 210 diagnoses an abnormality of each of the energy usage, the temperature, the humidity, and the comfort, and outputs a warning accordingly (S370). The control unit 210 may display a warning mark on the control screen to indicate that there is an error.

If the controller 210 determines that it is abnormal, the controller 210 outputs the diagnostic result and the inspection guide (S380). At this time, the inspection guide includes a countermeasure or a solution according to the diagnosis result.

The control unit 210 stores the data related to the normal judgment and the abnormality diagnosis as history data, respectively (S390).

6A to 6C are diagrams for explaining a space-specific analysis method of the air conditioner system according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 6A, the controller 210 outputs the amount of energy used and the degree of comfort on the control screen based on the measured data.

At this time, in outputting the energy usage amount, the horizontal axis represents the degree of comfort, and the vertical axis represents one of indoor temperature, indoor humidity, CO2, dust concentration, and occupational density. Data on the vertical axis may be limited to data that can be set to the type of sensor provided in the unit.

The control unit 210 divides the energy usage into layers and displays them in a circle, and the sizes of the circles are displayed differently according to the amount of energy used for each layer. That is, the larger the amount of energy used per space, the larger the size of the corresponding circle.

In addition, the control unit 210 displays the colors of the circles differently according to the degree of comfort for each space. The control unit 210 divides the comfort level into very uncomfortable, uncomfortable, normal, pleasant, and very comfortable, sets the position of the horizontal axis, and displays different colors of the circle. For example, if the comfort level is low, it can be displayed in red, and if it is comfortable, it can be displayed in white.

The control unit 210 sets and displays the vertical position of the circle in accordance with the vertical axis data. For example, in the case of room temperature, the temperature range is indicated on the vertical axis, and the position is set for each layer according to the temperature. That is, the energy usage of the control screen varies depending on the amount of usage, and the position of the horizontal axis changes according to the vertical axis and the degree of comfort according to the temperature.

At this time, time 301 is displayed on the screen of the screen, and the amount of energy used for a specific time is displayed. For example, when the time 301 is set to the first time T1, the energy usage for the first time T1 is displayed.

At this time, the degree of comfort is set by the dry bulb temperature and the relative humidity as shown in Fig. 6B. It can be judged to be comfortable when the relative humidity condition in the constant dry bulb temperature range is satisfied. Even when the humidity is normal, the comfort level is set low when the dry bulb temperature is too low.

In displaying energy usage, after selecting a layer for one of the plurality of layers shown, for example, the first layer (1F), the time 301 at the bottom of the screen is changed from the first time T1 to the second When moving to the time T2, the control unit 210 displays a change 302 of the energy usage for the first floor, as shown in FIG. 6C. At this time, the control unit 210 displays the change in a plurality of circles on a time-by-time basis to display a change over time. The control screen displays a change in the amount of energy used in the first floor, and it does not vary significantly with the lapse of time, but remains constant. However, it can be seen that the comfort also changes as the outside air temperature decreases.

FIG. 7 is a view showing an example of a normal section according to anomaly diagnosis of each space in the air conditioner system according to the present invention. FIG.

7, the data analyzer 220 sets the normal interval 306 for the temperature and the normal interval 305 for the comfort level on the basis of the stored data, 306 and the normal interval 305 for the degree of comfort is set as the normal pattern interval 303. In addition, the data analysis unit 220 analyzes the energy data and sets a normal energy usage amount 304 for each space.

The data analyzer 220 sets a normal interval by calculating statistics of data satisfying a predetermined condition for a predetermined period of the stored data.

At this time, the normal pattern section 303 can be changed according to the condition. For example, you can set a normal interval based on any one of the recent 30 data statistics with similar weather conditions, the data statistics of the last 30 days with the same day, the data statistics of the same month of the previous year, or the data statistics of the last 30 days of the weekday or holiday .

The control unit 110 determines that the energy consumption, the normal zone 305 for the degree of comfort, and the normal zone 306 for the temperature are normal for each space.

That is, in the case of the 10th floor (10F), it can be seen that the normal section is satisfied with respect to the temperature and the degree of comfort, but the normal energy consumption is exceeded.

On the other hand, the 8th floor (8F) satisfies all the normal ranges for temperature, comfort, and energy usage.

FIG. 8 is an exemplary diagram referred to for explaining the abnormality diagnosis using the normal section in FIG. 7; FIG.

As shown in FIG. 8A, the 1F 307a is included in the normal pattern section 303 with respect to the temperature and the degree of comfort, and the energy usage is also smaller than the normal energy usage amount 304, ) Is judged to be normal.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8B, the 1F 307b is included in the normal pattern section 303 with respect to the temperature and the degree of comfort, but since the energy usage is larger than the normal energy usage 304, (210) judges that it is abnormal. Accordingly, the control unit 210 outputs a warning mark to the 1F 307b.

As shown in FIG. 8C, the 1F 307c is included in the normal section with respect to temperature, and the energy usage is also less than the normal energy usage 304, but the comfort level is low and included in the normal pattern section 303 The control unit 210 judges the abnormality and outputs a warning mark.

As shown in (d) of FIG. 8, the 1F 307d is smaller than the normal energy usage amount 304 but is not included in the normal pattern section 303 because the temperature is higher than the normal section and the comfort level is lower , The control unit 210 determines that it is abnormal and outputs a warning mark.

FIGS. 9A and 9B are views showing the result of the abnormality diagnosis and the countermeasure of the air conditioner system according to the present invention.

Also, when the diagnosis period 468 is selected, the period selection menu 474 is displayed, and one of today, this week, this month, this year, and the date designation can be selected.

For example, if the reference period is the last 7 days, the daily average usage amount is selected, and the diagnosis period is today, the current usage is diagnosed based on the daily average usage for the last 7 days. In other words, the energy consumption of today is measured based on the daily average use amount during the last 7 days, and if it is exceeded, it can be judged that there is an abnormality.

The space energy consumption pattern 462 determines the size of the box according to the amount of energy used for the area selected by the space selection box and displays the colors differently according to the usage efficiency during the selected time period.

That is, the sizes of the boxes for each space are displayed differently according to the absolute usage amount in the selected time period, and the colors are displayed according to the energy use efficiency. Energy usage in a large area may be larger than energy in a small space. However, since energy efficiency of each space can not be determined based on absolute energy usage alone, Energy usage pattern can be displayed to judge the abnormality.

27A and 27B are diagrams for explaining a method of analyzing energy consumption pattern for each space in the air conditioner system according to the present invention.

As shown in Fig. 27A, the energy consumption pattern 462 for each space can be arranged in a space from a space with a large energy usage to a space with a small space.

The box 475 for the space with the largest energy usage is arranged on the left side, and the box 476 for the space with the smallest energy consumption is displayed on the lower right side. At this time, the box position can be changed according to the sorting criterion.

27B, when the information mark 478 is selected in the space-specific boxes 475 and 476, detailed information 479 about the space is displayed as a pop-up window.

Accordingly, the present invention displays the energy usage by graph and energy flow classified according to time and space, displays energy use efficiency for a predetermined time interval according to space and time, and more easily analyzes energy usage and usage pattern And it is possible to diagnose and cope with the abnormality, so that the energy consumption and efficiency can be more easily managed.

The foregoing description is merely illustrative of the technical idea of the present invention, and various changes and modifications may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the essential characteristics of the present invention.
