Here, the collective building 100 and the server 1000 may transmit and receive data through wireless or wired communication.

The collective building 100 corresponds to a building including a plurality of buildings 200 . The collective building 100 may include independent and distinct buildings 200 . That is, each building 200 may be divided into one unit. Here, the building 200 included in the collective building 100 may correspond to a legally registered building, but the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3 , a building 200 may include a plurality of rooms 201 to 204 . That is, each of the first to sixth buildings 210 to 260 may include a plurality of rooms 201 to 204 . A plurality of rooms 201 to 204 may be distinguished from each other. In addition, the plurality of rooms 201 to 204 may be arranged adjacent to each other or spaced apart from each other.

The building 200 may include a sensor 300 and a controller 310 disposed in a plurality of rooms 201 to 204 . The sensor 300 may include first to fourth sensors 301 to 304 , and the controller 310 may include first to fourth controllers 311 to 314 . The first sensor 301 and the first controller 311 may be disposed in the first room 201, and the second sensor 302 and the second controller 312 may be disposed in the second room 202. The third sensor 303 and the third controller 313 may be disposed in the third room 203, and the fourth sensor 304 and the fourth controller 314 are disposed in the fourth room 204. It can be.

The controller 310 may control the environment of each room 201 to 204 . For example, the controller 310 may control temperature and humidity of the building 200 . That is, the controller 310 may control heating or cooling of the building 200 . Here, the controller 310 may independently control the environment of the rooms 201 to 204, but may control the environment of the rooms 201 to 204 using sensing data generated by being sensed by the sensor 300. . Here, the sensor 300 and the controller 310 are controlled by the building environment controller 400 included in or corresponding to each building 200 .

Referring to FIG. 3 , the sensor 300, the controller 310, and the building environment controller 400 may transmit and receive data with each other. The sensor 300 may sense the building 200 to generate sensing data SD and provide the sensing data SD to the building environment controller 400 .

The building environment controller 400 may provide a control signal CS to the controller 310, and the controller 310 may control the environment of the building 200 based on the control signal CS.

4 is a diagram for explaining data transmission and reception between building environment controllers of buildings and servers.

Referring to FIG. 4 , the first to sixth building environment controllers 410 to 460 of the first to sixth buildings 210 to 260 may transmit and receive data to and from the server 1000 . The first to sixth building environment controllers 410 to 460 may generate first to sixth sensing data SD1 to SD6, respectively. The first to sixth sensing data SD1 to SD6 may be independently generated, and information of each data may not be dependent on each other. The server 1000 may receive first to sixth sensing data SD1 to SD6. The server 1000 may generate the first control signal CS1 based on the first to sixth sensing data SD1 to SD6. The first building environment controller 410 may adjust the environment of the first building 210 based on the first control signal CS1.

That is, the server 1000 may feed back environment control for the first building 210 through the first control signal CS1 using information on environments of the plurality of buildings 210 to 260 . Through this, environmental control of the first building 210 can be performed more efficiently. A more detailed description of this will be described later.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a method of adjusting an environment of a first building based on a plurality of sensing data.

Referring to FIG. 5 , the collective building 100 may generate sensing data by measuring environments of a plurality of rooms of the building 200 (S1100). For example, the first to sixth buildings 210 to 260 may measure environments of the plurality of rooms 201 to 204 using the sensor 300 to generate sensing data SD. That is, the sensor 300 may generate first to sixth sensing data SD1 to SD6.

Subsequently, the server 1000 may receive a plurality of sensing data SD1 to SD6 from the buildings 210 to 260 (S1110). The server 1000 may generate a first control signal CS1 for the first building 210 based on the plurality of sensing data SD1 to SD6 (S1120). That is, the server 1000 generates the first control signal CS1 for the first building 210 using the second to sixth sensing data SD2 to SD6 as well as the first sensing data SD1. , the environment of the first building 210 can be controlled. The first building environment controller 410 may adjust the environment of the first building 210 based on the first control signal CS1 (S1130).

That is, when controlling the environment for the first building 210, the server 1000 may use the correlation between the first building 210 and the second to sixth buildings 220 to 260. For example, when the heating function of the second to sixth buildings 220 to 260 is operated, the first building 210 may not require heating. Accordingly, the server 1000 may generate a first control signal CS1 for reducing heating of the first building 210, and the first building environment controller 410 may respond to the first control signal CS1. In response, heating of the first building 210 may be reduced. Accordingly, it is possible to more efficiently control the environment of the collective building 100 .

This will be described in more detail using FIGS. 6 and 7 .

6 is a flowchart illustrating a heating control method of a first building according to some embodiments. 7 is a diagram for explaining a method of adjusting the environment of a first building based on distances between the first building and other buildings.

The step of adjusting the environment of the first building 210 based on the first control signal CS1 ( S1130 ) will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7 .

The server 1000 may calculate the score SCR of the first building 210 based on the plurality of sensing data SD1 to SD6 and the distance information DST (S1131). Here, the plurality of sensing data SD1 to SD6 may include data such as temperature sensed for each building 210 to 260 . The distance information DST may correspond to information about distances between the first building 210 and the other buildings 220 to 260 . For example, the first distance information DST1 corresponds to the distance between the first and second buildings 210 and 220, and the second distance information DST2 corresponds to the distance between the first and third buildings 210 and 230. ), the third distance information DST3 corresponds to the distance between the first and fourth buildings 210 and 240, and the fourth distance information DST4 corresponds to the first and fifth buildings. This corresponds to the distance between 210 and 250, and the fifth distance information DST5 corresponds to the distance between the first and sixth buildings 210 and 260.

The score SCR corresponds to an index for controlling the environment of the first building 210 . That is, the server 1000 and the first building environment controller 410 may control the environment of the first building 210 according to the calculated score SCR. That is, the server 1000 may generate the score SCR using the first to sixth sensing data SD1 to SD6 and the distance information DST, and accordingly control the environment of the first building 210. can do. The score (SCR) may be calculated by Equation 1 below.

<Equation 1>

Here, the nth temperature information Tn corresponds to the measured temperature of the nth building. That is, the n-th sensing data may include n-th temperature information Tn. The first temperature information T1 corresponds to the measured temperature of the first building 210 . That is, the score SCR corresponds to the sum of all values obtained by dividing the difference between the nth temperature information Tn and the first temperature information T1 by the root value of the distance information DST.

That is, the closer the first building 210 is, the smaller the distance information DST may be, and accordingly, the score SCR may increase. Also, as the temperature difference with the first building 210 increases, the score SCR may increase.

When the score SCR is not greater than the threshold value TH (S1132-N), heating of the first building 210 may be increased (S1141). That is, when the temperature of buildings around the first building 210 is not high and the distance between the buildings is long, the first building 210 may receive less heating effect from other buildings. Accordingly, as the heating of the first building 210 is increased, the temperature of the first building 210 may increase.

When the score SCR is greater than the threshold value TH (S1132-Y), the heating of the first building 210 may be reduced (S1140). When the temperature of buildings around the first building 210 is high and the distance between the buildings is short, the first building 210 may receive a large heating effect from other buildings. Accordingly, even if the heating function for the first building 210 is reduced, the temperature of the first building 210 may be maintained. Accordingly, environmental control for the collective building 100 including the first building 210 can be performed more efficiently, and heating costs can be reduced.

Referring to FIG. 7 , a second building 220 and a third building 230 may be closest to the first building 210 . The third distance information DST3 may be greater than the first and second distance information DST1 and DST2. The fourth distance information DST4 may be greater than the third distance information DST3, and the fifth distance information DST5 may be greater than the fourth distance information DST4.

Here, the first building 210 may be adjacent to and directly contact the second building 220 and the third building 230 . Accordingly, the first building 210 may be more influenced by the second and third buildings 220 and 230 .

For example, when the temperature of the third building 230, the fourth building 240, and the sixth building 260 is higher than that of the first building 210, the score (SCR) for the first building 210 may be greater than the threshold value TH. Accordingly, heating of the first building 210 may be reduced. This enables more efficient environmental control.

A system for controlling the environment of buildings according to another embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9 .

8 is a diagram illustrating a method of adjusting an environment of a first building based on a plurality of measurement data according to some embodiments. 9 is a flowchart illustrating a method of adjusting a heating time of a first building based on heating time from a plurality of buildings.

Referring to FIGS. 8 and 9 , the first to sixth buildings 210 to 260 may measure heating times of a plurality of rooms of the building (S1200). For example, each building can measure how long the heating is on. The first to sixth buildings 210 to 260 may generate first to sixth measurement data ED1 to ED6.

The server 1000 may receive a plurality of measurement data ED1 to ED6 from the buildings 210 to 260 (S1210). Here, the plurality of measurement data ED1 to ED6 may include heating time information of each of the buildings 210 to 260 .

The server 1000 may generate a first control signal CS1' for the first building 210 based on the plurality of measurement data ED1 to ED6 (S1220). The server 1000 may predict the heating time required for the first building 210 from the heating time included in the plurality of measurement data ED1 to ED6. For example, when the heating of the second to sixth buildings 220 to 260 is operated, the heating of the first building 210 may be further reduced. That is, the first building environment controller 410 may adjust the heating time of the first building 210 based on the first control signal CS1' (S1230). Accordingly, heating costs for the first building 210 can be reduced, and more efficient building management can be achieved.
