The central management unit 4 is electrically connected to each control unit 3, and determines whether the total power consumption is greater than a predetermined upper limit value to determine whether to provide a setting signal to each of the communication addresses of each control unit 3 Corresponding to the control unit 3. The central management unit 4 also receives the ambient temperature from the communication module 33, and modifies the setting signal according to the ambient temperature and the total power consumption.

For example, the control code is provided with the air conditioner 2 for setting The preset temperature value, a running air volume, and an operating mode. The operation mode is, for example, a reduction in a compression frequency of a compressor (not shown) of the air conditioner 2, a stop of the compressor operation, an increase in the compression frequency, or an operation time of the air conditioner 2. When the total power consumption is greater than the preset upper limit value, the central management unit 4 sends the setting signal to modify the portion of the control code with respect to the preset temperature value, so that the air conditioners 2 raise the temperature and further decrease Use electricity.

In addition, when the air conditioner 2 is arbitrarily lowered by the user through direct operation, the temperature sensor 31 detects that the ambient temperature is lower than the preset temperature value, and the control unit 3 regenerates. The control signal adjusts the air conditioner 2 to the original setting correspondingly.

And, when the central management unit 4 receives the ambient temperature and determines that the ambient temperature is too high, it determines a difference between the total power consumption and the preset upper limit value, and according to the difference The content of the setting signal is adjusted so that the air conditioners 2 can appropriately lower the temperature, and the total power consumption is also maintained below the preset upper limit value.
