- Such an air conditioning control system can prevent excessive cooling and heating using the calculated comfort index PMV. Accordingly, energy consumption of the air conditioning facilities is reduced.
- Conventionally, control of cooling and heating in habitable rooms or offices is performed for each building. In addition, an air conditioning control system is installed in the same building where the air conditioning is controlled (refer to JP, PH05-126380A, for example).

Each of thebuildings 20 a, . . . , 20 n may have one set or multiple sets of the air conditioner and local air conditioning controller. - Components will be described below.
- First, the components of the
remote center 10 will be described. - The
remote controller 11 collectively controls theair conditioning facilities 27 a, . . . , 27 n in thebuildings 20 a, . . . , 20 n through therouter 12. Theremote controller 11 transmits operation setting values of theair conditioning facilities 27 a, . . . , 27 n respectively to the building monitoring and controllingdevices 25 a, . . . , 25 n in thebuildings 20 a, . . . , 20 n. - The
remote controller 11 can calculate each operation setting value using an existing air conditioning control method. Theremote controller 11 calculates the operation setting value for air conditioning control using a comfort index PMV value, for example. - To calculate the comfort index “PMV value,” six parameters are needed, the six parameters being temperature, humidity, radiation temperature, air velocity, amount of clothing worn, amount of activity (metabolic rate). Among these, for the numerical values of air velocity, amount of clothing worn, amount of activity (metabolic rate), predetermined numerical values can be used. Note that, the numerical value used for amount of clothing worn may vary depending on a season and a place where the air conditioning facility is installed. The radiation temperature can be calculated from indoor temperature and outdoor temperature.
- In the embodiment, the
remote controller 11 periodically acquires the operation data on temperature and humidity for each of thebuildings 20 a, . . . , 20 n from the building monitoring and controllingdevices 25 a, . . . , 25 n through thenetwork 1. Thus, theremote controller 11 calculates in real time the “PMV value” for each of thebuildings 20 a, . . . , 20 n. - Further, the
remote controller 11 calculates temperature and humidity within the “PMV value” range of, for example, −0.5 to +0.5 recommended in ISO-7730 for each of thebuildings 20 a, . . . , 20 n. The calculated temperature and humidity is an operation set temperature and operation set humidity. Note that, if a target PMV value is variably set depending on a season, more energy saving effect can be achieved. For example, in summer, i.e., when cooling, the PMV value is set to +0.5, and in winter, i.e., when heating, the PMV value is set to −0.5. - The
remote controller 11 transmits to each of the building monitoring and controllingdevices 25 a, . . . , 25 n an operation set temperature and operation set humidity corresponding to each of the building monitoring and controllingdevices 25 a, . . . , 25 n as the operation setting value through thenetwork 1. - In the description above, the
remote controller 11 calculates the operation setting value for each of thebuildings 20 a, . . . , 20 n. However, theremote controller 11 may calculate the operation setting value for each zone of the building or the operation setting value for each floor of the building. In this case, theremote controller 11 receives the operation data on each zone of the building or the operation data on each floor of the building from the corresponding one of the building monitoring and controllingdevices 25 a, . . . , 25 n. - The
remote controller 11 calculates necessary conditions which minimize the energy consumption of the air conditioner and the heat source facility under restriction based on the “PMV value”, if required. The examples of the conditions are a “supply air temperature” and a “heat-transfer-medium temperature.” Then, theremote controller 11 transmits, as the operation setting value, the “supply air temperature” and the “heat-transfer-medium temperature” in addition to the operation set temperature and the operation set humidity to each of the building monitoring and controllingdevices 25 a, . . . , 25 n of thebuildings 20 a, . . . , 20 n. Note that the “supply air temperature” is temperature of air discharged from an air discharge of an air conditioner. - The
router 12 connects between theremote controller 11 and thecommunication network 1. Therouter 12 relays communication between the building monitoring and controllingdevices 25 a, . . . , 25 n in thebuildings 20 a, . . . , 20 n and theremote controller 11. - Next, the components provided in the
buildings 20 a, . . . , 20 n will be described. - Each of the
air conditioners 21 a, . . . , 21 n 2 has a heat exchanger which exchanges heat between a heat transfer medium and air. When cooling, each of theair conditioners 21 a, . . . , 21 n 2 blows air cooled by the heat transfer medium using a fan. When heating, each of theair conditioners 21 a, . . . , 21 n 2 blows air heated by the heat transfer medium from the blower. The heat transfer medium is water, for example. If multiple air conditioners are provided in one building, the air conditioners are provided to the floors or zones, respectively. - Each of the
heat source facilities 23 a, . . . , 23 n cools or heats the heat transfer medium. Examples of theheat source facilities 23 a, . . . , 23 n are a refrigerator and a heat pump. - Unillustrated pipes are provided between the
air conditioners 21 a, . . . , 21 n 2 and theheat source facilities 23 a, . . . , 23 n, and the heat transfer medium circulates in the pipes. Each pipe has a pump to circulate the heat transfer medium. Thus, the heat transfer media cooled or heated by theheat source facilities 23 a, . . . , 23 n are sent to theair conditioners 21 a, . . . , 21 n 2, and cool or heat air in theair conditioners 21 a, . . . , 21 n 2, and then return to theheat source facilities 23 a, . . . , 23 n. The heat transfer media which have returned are cooled or heated again, and then sent to theair conditioners 21 a, . . . , 21 n 2. - The local
air conditioning controllers 22 a, . . . , 22 n 2 control theair conditioners 21 a, . . . , 21 n 2. Each of the localair conditioning controllers 22 a, . . . , 22 n 2 periodically receives the operation set temperature and the operation set humidity from the corresponding one of the building monitoring and controllingdevices 25 a, . . . , 25 n. Each of the localair conditioning controllers 22 a, . . . , 22 n 2 controls the power of thecorresponding air conditioners 21 a, . . . , 21 n 2 so that a indoor temperature and a indoor humidity reach the operation set temperature and the operation set humidity. Each of the localair conditioning controllers 22 a, . . . , 22 n 2 adjusts the amount of air blown from the blower by adjusting the rotating speed of the fan, for example. Thus, the indoor temperature is adjusted. Moreover, dehumidification is performed by once lowering air temperature in the air conditioner so that the water vapor is condensed into dew and by then raising the air temperature. - In order to set the indoor temperature to 18° C. for example, each of the building monitoring and controlling
devices 25 a, . . . , 25 n inputs the set temperature of 18° C. to each corresponding one of the localair conditioning controllers 22 a, . . . , 22 n 2. - Moreover, each of the local
air conditioning controllers 22 a, . . . , 22 n 2 measures the indoor temperature, the indoor humidity and the outdoor temperature, and periodically transmits the measured temperatures and humidity as the operation data to the corresponding one of the building monitoring and controllingdevices 25 a, . . . , 25 n. - The local
heat source controllers 24 a, . . . , 24 n control theheat source facilities 23 a, . . . , 23 n. Each of the localheat source controllers 24 a, . . . , 24 n, as necessary, periodically receives the operation set temperature of the heat transfer medium (hereinafter, referred to as operation set heat-transfer-medium temperature). Each of the localheat source controllers 24 a, . . . , 24 n controls the power of the corresponding one of theheat source facilities 23 a, . . . , 23 n so that the heat-transfer-medium temperature reaches the operation set heat-transfer-medium temperature. - In order to set the heat-transfer-medium temperature to 7° C. for example, each of the building monitoring and controlling
devices 25 a, . . . , 25 n inputs the set heat-transfer-medium temperature of 7° C. to the corresponding one of the localheat source controllers 24 a, . . . , 24 n. The heat transfer media cooled by theheat source facilities 23 a, . . . , 23 n are used for cool air at theair conditioners 21 a, . . . , 21 n 2. The heat transfer media heated by theheat source facilities 23 a, . . . , 23 n are used for warm air at theair conditioners 21 a, . . . , 21 n 2. - Each of the building monitoring and controlling
devices 25 a, . . . , 25 n receives the operation set temperature value, the operation set humidity value, and the like which are the operation setting value transmitted from theremote controller 11. Each of the building monitoring and controllingdevices 25 a, . . . , 25 n transmits the operation set temperature value, the operation set humidity value, and the like which have been received to a corresponding one of the localair conditioning controllers 22 a, . . . , 22 n. In addition, each of the building monitoring and controllingdevices 25 a, . . . , 25 n receives an operation set heat-transfer-medium temperature value transmitted from theremote controller 11. Here, each of the building monitoring and controllingdevices 25 a, . . . , 25 n transmits the received operation set heat-transfer-medium temperature value to the corresponding one of the localheat source controllers 24 a, . . . , 24 n. - In addition, the building monitoring and controlling
devices 25 a, . . . , 25 n periodically collect the operation data on theair conditioners 21 a, . . . , 21 n 2 from the localair conditioning controllers 22 a, . . . , 22 n 2, respectively. Specifically, each of the building monitoring and controllingdevices 25 a, . . . , 25 n receives the indoor temperature, the indoor humidity and the outdoor temperature periodically transmitted from the corresponding one of the localair conditioning controllers 22 a, . . . , 22 n 2. Then each of the building monitoring and controllingdevices 25 a, . . . , 25 n periodically transmits the received operation data to theremote controller 11 through thenetwork 1. - Each of the
routers 26 a, . . . , 26 n connects between the corresponding one of the building monitoring and controllingdevices 25 a, . . . , 25 n and thecommunication network 1. Each of therouters 26 a, . . . , 26 n relays communication between the corresponding one of the building monitoring and controllingdevices 25 a, . . . , 25 n and theremote controller 11. - Next, an operation of the embodiment will be described with reference to
FIG. 2 . -
FIG. 2 shows an operation of the air conditioning control system according to the embodiment. - The
remote controller 11 in theremote center 10 collects the operation data on theair conditioning facilities 27 a, . . . , 27 n at a constant frequency from the building monitoring and controllingdevices 25 a, . . . , 25 n of thebuildings 20 a, . . . , 20 n (Step 401). The operation data are needed to calculate the “PMV value” in real time. The operation data are temperature, humidity and outdoor temperature as described above. - The
remote controller 11 checks if the collected operation data are normally received (Step 402). If the operation data is not normally received (Step 402-NO), theremote controller 11 collects the operation data again. When the operation data are collected again, the number of times at which the data are collected may be limited to the preset number of times. - The
remote controller 11 calculates the “PMV value” for each of thebuildings 20 a, . . . , 20 n based on the operation data transmitted from the building monitoring and controllingdevices 25 a, . . . , 25 n, preset values to calculate the “PMV value,” and the like. In addition, theremote controller 11 calculates, from the calculated PMV value, the operation setting value to enable obtaining a predetermined PMV value (Step 403). - The predetermined “PMV value” is between −0.5 and +0.5, for example. Temperature and humidity which allow the PMV value to be within this range are calculated. The calculated temperature is referred to as the operation set temperature, and the calculated humidity is referred to as the operation set humidity.
- Further, if the energy consumption of the entire air conditioning system is requested to be minimized, the
remote controller 11 calculates, as the operation setting value, the “supply air temperature,” the “heat-transfer-medium temperature,” and the like which minimize the sum of the powers of theair conditioners 21 a, . . . , 21 n 2 andheat source facilities 23 a, . . . , 23 n and the power consumption of the pumps which circulate the heat transfer medium. - The
remote controller 11 transmits the operation setting value calculated for each of thebuildings 20 a, . . . , 20 n to the corresponding one of the building monitoring and controllingdevices 25 a, . . . , 25 n (Step 404). The number of transmissions between theremote controller 11 and the building monitoring and controllingdevices 25 a, . . . , 25 n may be limited for the purpose of failure avoidance and the like. - The building monitoring and controlling
device 25 a receives the operation setting value transmitted from theremote controller 11. The operation setting value includes the operation set temperature and operation set humidity of theair conditioner 21 a, the operation set heat-transfer-medium temperature of theheat source facilities 23 a, and the like. The building monitoring and controllingdevice 25 a transmits the operation setting value to theair conditioning facility 27 a. Specifically, the building monitoring and controllingdevice 25 a transmits the operation set temperature and the operation set humidity to the localair conditioning controller 22 a, and transmits the operation set heat-transfer-medium temperature to the localheat source controller 24 a. Accordingly, the localair conditioning controller 22 a performs set value control and power control of theair conditioner 21 a, and the localheat source controller 24 a performs set value control and power control of theheat source facility 23 a (Step 405). - Other building monitoring and controlling devices operate in the same manner as the building monitoring and controlling
device 25 a. For example, the building monitoring and controllingdevice 25 n receives the operation setting value transmitted from theremote controller 11. Then the building monitoring and controllingdevice 25 n transmits the operation setting value to theair conditioning facility 27 n. Specifically, the building monitoring and controllingdevice 25 n transmits the operation set temperature and the operation set humidity to the local air conditioning controllers 22n 1, 22 n 2, and transmits the operation set heat-transfer-medium temperature to the localheat source controller 24 n.
