Description

空間制御システムSpatial control system
　本開示は、空間制御システムに関し、より詳しくは、アクティビティ・ベースド・ワーキング（ＡＢＷ：Ａｃｔｉｖｉｔｙ　ｂａｓｅｄ　ｗｏｒｋｉｎｇ）オフィス、フリーアドレスオフィスに好適な空間制御システムに関する。 The present disclosure relates to a spatial control system, and more particularly to a spatial control system suitable for an activity-based working (ABW) office and a free address office.
　近年、仕事内容に合わせて働く場所を選ぶＡＢＷと呼ばれる働き方が注目されており、ＡＢＷを導入したオフィス（ＡＢＷオフィス）が台頭している。ＡＢＷオフィスは、ワーカーの仕事内容に応じて、それに適した空間を用意することで組織のパフォーマンスを向上させる空間設計がなされたオフィスである。ＡＢＷオフィスでは、例えば照明の明るさ、光色等を変化させることによって、各自の仕事に集中し易い作業空間、知識を共有するための共創空間など、目的とする空間設計がなされる。 In recent years, a work style called ABW, which selects a place to work according to the work content, has been attracting attention, and offices that have introduced ABW (ABW offices) are emerging. The ABW office is an office designed to improve the performance of the organization by preparing a space suitable for the work content of the worker. In the ABW office, for example, by changing the brightness of lighting, the color of light, etc., the desired space is designed, such as a work space where it is easy to concentrate on one's work and a co-creation space for sharing knowledge.
　また、ワーカーが固定席を持たず、自由に座る席を変えて仕事ができるように設計されたフリーアドレスオフィスも知られている。例えば、特許文献１には、フリーアドレスオフィスに関するシステムが開示されている。特許文献１に開示されたシステムは、オフィス内の在室人数を計数する入退室管理部と、計数された在室人数に基づいて執務領域を決定する執務領域決定部と、決定された執務領域以外の領域に対応する設備を停止させるように制御する設備制御部とを有する。 Also known is a free address office designed so that workers do not have fixed seats and can change their seats to work. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a system relating to a free address office. The system disclosed in Patent Document 1 includes an entry / exit management unit that counts the number of people in the office, a work area determination unit that determines the work area based on the counted number of people in the office, and a determined work area. It has an equipment control unit that controls so as to stop the equipment corresponding to the area other than the above.

　ＡＢＷオフィス、フリーアドレスオフィスの導入目的の１つとして、ワーカーの在席位置の変化により交流する人が変わることで引き起こされるコミュニケーションの活性化が挙げられる。しかし、人にはそれぞれ、場所嗜好性および環境嗜好性が存在するため、各ワーカーが気に入った特定の席ばかりを使用することに起因して、コミュニケーションの活性化につながらない場合がある。 One of the purposes of introducing ABW offices and free address offices is to activate communication caused by changes in the people with whom they interact due to changes in the seating position of workers. However, since each person has a place preference and an environment preference, it may not lead to activation of communication due to the use of only specific seats that each worker likes.
　なお、コミュニケーションの活性化は、地域コミュニティの崩壊、独居老人の増加等が問題視される現代社会において、職場以外においても重要なことである。 It should be noted that activation of communication is important outside the workplace in the modern society where the collapse of local communities and the increase of elderly people living alone are regarded as problems.
　本開示の目的は、複数のエリアに区分された施設において、施設使用者同士のコミュニケーションの活性化を図ることが可能な空間制御システムを提供することである。 The purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a spatial control system capable of activating communication between facility users in facilities divided into a plurality of areas.
　本開示の一態様である空間制御システムは、複数のエリアに区分された施設に適用される空間制御システムであって、前記複数のエリアにそれぞれ設けられ、当該各エリアの空間環境を制御する空間制御機器と、前記複数のエリアの各々における前記空間制御機器毎に異なる制御パラメータを設定して、前記空間制御機器を制御する制御装置とを備える。前記空間制御機器は、照明機器、空調機器、芳香機器、音響機器、および映像機器から選択される少なくとも１種であり、前記制御装置は、前記複数のエリアのうちの一のエリアにおける前記空間制御機器の制御パラメータを他のエリアにおける同種の前記空間制御機器の制御パラメータと入れ替えるように構成されている。 The spatial control system, which is one aspect of the present disclosure, is a spatial control system applied to a facility divided into a plurality of areas, and is provided in each of the plurality of areas to control the spatial environment of each area. A control device and a control device for controlling the space control device by setting different control parameters for each of the space control devices in each of the plurality of areas are provided. The space control device is at least one selected from lighting equipment, air conditioning equipment, fragrance equipment, audio equipment, and video equipment, and the control device is the space control in one of the plurality of areas. It is configured to replace the control parameters of the device with the control parameters of the same type of spatial control device in other areas.
　本開示に係る空間制御システムによれば、複数のエリアに区分された施設において、施設使用者同士のコミュニケーションの活性化を図ることができる。本開示に係るシステムをＡＢＷオフィス、フリーアドレスオフィス等に導入することで、例えば、特定の席を常時使用するワーカーを減らすことができる。したがって、交流する人が変化し、コミュニケーションの活性化、ひいては仕事のパフォーマンスの改善、組織の活性化を図ることが可能である。 According to the spatial control system according to the present disclosure, it is possible to activate communication between facility users in facilities divided into a plurality of areas. By introducing the system according to the present disclosure into an ABW office, a free address office, etc., for example, it is possible to reduce the number of workers who always use a specific seat. Therefore, it is possible to change the people with whom they interact, to activate communication, improve work performance, and activate the organization.
　本開示に係る照明システムによれば、時間毎、日毎、月毎などのサイクルで生じるワーカーや組織の流動的なワークパフォーマンスや各スペースに対するニーズに対しても容易に対応するアクティブゾーニングを実現できる。 According to the lighting system according to the present disclosure, it is possible to realize active zoning that easily responds to the fluid work performance of workers and organizations and the needs for each space that occur in cycles such as hourly, daily, and monthly.

　以下、図面を参照しながら、本開示に係る空間制御システムの実施形態の一例について詳細に説明する。但し、本開示の空間制御システムは、以下で説明する実施形態に限定されない。また、以下で説明する複数の実施形態の各構成要素を選択的に組み合わせることは当初から想定されている。 Hereinafter, an example of the embodiment of the spatial control system according to the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the spatial control system of the present disclosure is not limited to the embodiments described below. In addition, it is assumed from the beginning that the components of the plurality of embodiments described below are selectively combined.
　本開示の装置およびシステムの主体は、コンピュータを備えている。このコンピュータがプログラムを実行することによって、本開示の装置およびシステムの主体の機能が実現される。コンピュータは、プログラムに従って動作するプロセッサを主なハードウェア構成として備える。プロセッサは、プログラムを実行することによって上記機能を実現することができれば、その種類は問わない。プロセッサは、集積回路（ＩＣ）または大規模集積回路（ＬＳＩ）を含む１つまたは複数の電子回路で構成される。複数の電子回路は、１つのチップに集積されていてもよく、複数のチップに設けられていてもよい。複数のチップは、１つの装置に集約されていてもよく、複数の装置に備えられていてもよい。また、プログラムは、コンピュータが読み取り可能なＲＯＭ、光ディスク、ハードディスクドライブ等の非一時的記憶媒体に記憶される。プログラムは、記憶媒体に予め格納されていてもよく、インターネット等を含む広域通信網を介して記憶媒体に供給されてもよい。 The main body of the device and system of the present disclosure is equipped with a computer. By executing the program by this computer, the main functions of the devices and systems of the present disclosure are realized. A computer has a processor that operates according to a program as a main hardware configuration. The type of processor does not matter as long as the above functions can be realized by executing the program. A processor is composed of one or more electronic circuits including an integrated circuit (IC) or a large scale integrated circuit (LSI). The plurality of electronic circuits may be integrated on one chip or may be provided on a plurality of chips. The plurality of chips may be integrated in one device, or may be provided in a plurality of devices. The program is also stored in a non-temporary storage medium such as a computer-readable ROM, optical disk, or hard disk drive. The program may be stored in the storage medium in advance, or may be supplied to the storage medium via a wide area communication network including the Internet or the like.
　以下、図１～図３を参照しながら、実施形態の一例である空間制御システム１０について詳細に説明する。空間制御システム１０が適用されるオフィス１００において、図１は第１の照明パターンを示す図であり、図２は第２の照明パターンを示す図である。図３は、空間制御システム１０の構成を示すブロック図である。図１および図２では、エリア１，２，３における照明環境の相違をドットハッチングの密度の違いで示している。 Hereinafter, the spatial control system 10 which is an example of the embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. In the office 100 to which the space control system 10 is applied, FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a first illumination pattern, and FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a second illumination pattern. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the space control system 10. In FIGS. 1 and 2, the difference in the lighting environment in the areas 1, 2, and 3 is shown by the difference in the density of dot hatching.
　実施形態の一例である空間制御システム１０は、職場におけるワーカー同士のコミュニケーションを活性化するためのシステムであるが、本開示に係るシステムはこれに限定されない。本開示に係る空間制御システムは、例えば高齢者施設、公民館、図書館、シェアハウスなど、複数のエリアに区切られた職場以外の施設にも適用できる。 The spatial control system 10 which is an example of the embodiment is a system for activating communication between workers in the workplace, but the system according to the present disclosure is not limited to this. The spatial control system according to the present disclosure can be applied to facilities other than workplaces divided into a plurality of areas, such as facilities for the elderly, public halls, libraries, and share houses.
　空間制御システム１０が適用されるオフィス１００は、複数のエリアに区分されたオフィスである。図１および図２では、３つのエリア１，２，３を図示するが、エリアの数、広さ等は特に限定されない。エリア１，２，３は、空間制御システム１０による空間環境制御の対象領域であって、例えば同じ建物の同じフロアに位置し、見渡すことでそれぞれの環境が目視できるように配置される。エリア１，２，３の各々は、空間制御システム１０によって他のエリアと異なる空間環境に制御され、個々のエリア内では同様の空間環境に制御される。図１および図２に示す例では、エリア１，２，３で照明環境が異なる。 The office 100 to which the space control system 10 is applied is an office divided into a plurality of areas. In FIGS. 1 and 2, three areas 1, 2, and 3 are illustrated, but the number and size of the areas are not particularly limited. Areas 1, 2, and 3 are target areas for spatial environment control by the spatial control system 10, and are arranged, for example, on the same floor of the same building so that each environment can be visually recognized by looking over. Each of the areas 1, 2, and 3 is controlled by the spatial control system 10 in a spatial environment different from that of the other areas, and is controlled in the same spatial environment within each area. In the examples shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the lighting environment is different in areas 1, 2, and 3.
　なお、エリア１，２，３は、例えば、ワーカーがそれぞれの環境条件を確認でき、仕事内容等に応じて各エリアを自由に使用できる業務制度が存在すれば、別のフロア、または別の建物に設けられていてもよい。エリア１，２，３が同じフロアに存在しない場合、ＧＵＩ（Ｇｒａｐｈｉｃａｌ　Ｕｓｅｒ　Ｉｎｔｅｒｆａｃｅ）等を備えたシステム、ディスプレイなどを用いて、ワーカーが各フロアの環境条件を容易に確認できるようにすることが好ましい。 In areas 1, 2, and 3, for example, if there is a business system in which workers can check their environmental conditions and can freely use each area according to their work content, another floor or another building. It may be provided in. When areas 1, 2, and 3 do not exist on the same floor, it is preferable to allow workers to easily check the environmental conditions of each floor by using a system or display equipped with a GUI (Graphical User Interface) or the like. ..
　空間制御システム１０が適用されるオフィス１００は、ワーカーが固定席を持たず、仕事内容等に応じて自由に座る席を変えて仕事ができるように設計されたオフィスである。オフィス１００の一例は、ＡＢＷオフィス、フリーアドレスオフィスである。ワーカーが固定席を持つオフィスに空間制御システム１０を適用して、後述のように、空間環境を１日、１週間といった短期間で変更すると、ワーカーの混乱や不満を招くことが想定される。一方、ＡＢＷオフィス、フリーアドレスオフィスは、各ワーカーが自分好みのエリアに自由に移動できるオフィスであるため、空間制御システム１０を適用する施設として好適である。 The office 100 to which the space control system 10 is applied is an office designed so that a worker does not have a fixed seat and can freely change the seat to work according to the work content and the like. An example of the office 100 is an ABW office and a free address office. If the spatial control system 10 is applied to an office where workers have fixed seats and the spatial environment is changed in a short period of time such as one day or one week as described later, it is expected that the workers will be confused and dissatisfied. On the other hand, the ABW office and the free address office are suitable as facilities to which the space control system 10 is applied because each worker can freely move to his / her favorite area.
　図１および図２に例示するように、エリア１にはコピー機５が、エリア２には本棚６が、エリア３には自動販売機７が設置されている。すなわち、オフィス１００は、複数のエリア１，２，３の各々に異なる固定設備を備える。固定設備とは、一般的に１年、５年といった長期間（空間環境を入れ替える後述の所定期間より大幅に長い期間）、その位置が固定される設備、または施設の構造上、移動させることができない設備を意味する。詳しくは後述するが、空間制御システム１０は、人の空間環境の嗜好性と共に、場所嗜好性に強く関わる固定設備を利用してコミュニケーションの活性化を図ることができる。 As illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, a copy machine 5 is installed in the area 1, a bookshelf 6 is installed in the area 2, and a vending machine 7 is installed in the area 3. That is, the office 100 is provided with different fixed equipment in each of the plurality of areas 1, 2, and 3. Fixed equipment generally means equipment whose position is fixed for a long period of time such as 1 year or 5 years (a period significantly longer than the predetermined period described later when the spatial environment is replaced), or the equipment can be moved due to the structure of the facility. It means equipment that cannot be done. As will be described in detail later, the space control system 10 can activate communication by using fixed equipment that is strongly related to the preference of the space environment of a person as well as the preference of the place.
　固定設備の一例としては、コピー機５（プリンタ、スキャナ等の機能を備えた複合機であってもよい）、本棚６、自動販売機７、ＦＡＸ、シュレッダー、机、椅子、ブース、ロッカー、冷蔵庫、ウォーターサーバー、コーヒーメーカー等が挙げられる。また、各エリア内に存在する固定設備は、窓、床、天井、壁等の構造物であってもよい。なお、固定設備は、エリア１，２，３の明るさ、温度、匂い、音、映像等を制御して各エリアの空間環境を任意に変更できない設備である。 Examples of fixed equipment include a copier 5 (which may be a multifunction device having functions such as a printer and a scanner), a bookshelf 6, a vending machine 7, a fax machine, a shredder, a desk, a chair, a booth, a locker, and a refrigerator. , Water server, coffee maker, etc. Further, the fixed equipment existing in each area may be a structure such as a window, a floor, a ceiling, and a wall. The fixed equipment is equipment that cannot arbitrarily change the spatial environment of each area by controlling the brightness, temperature, odor, sound, image, etc. of areas 1, 2, and 3.
　また、オフィス１００が、エリア１，２，３の各々の近傍に、異なる固定設備を備える場合、当該固定設備の存在がワーカーのエリア１，２，３の選択において大きく影響することが想定される。エリア外の固定設備としては、トイレ、会議室、廊下、休憩室、喫煙室、給湯室等が挙げられる。例えば、エリア１がトイレに近く、エリア２が会議室に近く、エリア３が喫煙室に近い場合、喫煙頻度の多いワーカーはエリア３を好むことが想定される。なお、エリア１，２，３またはその近傍に、異なる固定設備が存在しない場合であっても、各エリアの位置関係等がワーカーのエリア選択に影響する場合がある。 Further, when the office 100 is provided with different fixed equipment in the vicinity of each of the areas 1, 2 and 3, it is assumed that the existence of the fixed equipment has a great influence on the selection of the worker areas 1, 2 and 3. .. Fixed facilities outside the area include toilets, conference rooms, corridors, break rooms, smoking rooms, hot water supply rooms, and the like. For example, when area 1 is close to the toilet, area 2 is close to the conference room, and area 3 is close to the smoking room, it is assumed that workers who smoke frequently prefer area 3. Even if different fixed equipment does not exist in or near areas 1, 2, and 3, the positional relationship of each area may affect the worker's area selection.
　図３に例示するように、空間制御システム１０は、照明機器１１等の空間制御機器と、複数のエリア１，２，３の各々における空間制御機器毎に異なる制御パラメータを設定して、空間制御機器を制御する制御装置２０とを備える。空間制御機器は、複数のエリア１，２，３にそれぞれ設けられ、当該各エリアの空間環境を制御する装置である。図１および図２に示す例では、エリア１，２，３の各々に、空間制御機器として照明機器１１が設けられている。制御装置２０は、設定した空間制御機器の制御パラメータを他のエリアの同種の空間制御機器の制御パラメータと入れ替えて、複数のエリアの空間環境を入れ替えるように構成されている。 As illustrated in FIG. 3, the space control system 10 sets different control parameters for each of the space control device such as the lighting device 11 and the space control device in each of the plurality of areas 1, 2, and 3, and spatial control is performed. A control device 20 for controlling the device is provided. Spatial control devices are devices provided in each of a plurality of areas 1, 2, and 3, and control the spatial environment of each area. In the examples shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, lighting devices 11 are provided as space control devices in each of the areas 1, 2, and 3. The control device 20 is configured to replace the set control parameters of the spatial control device with the control parameters of the same type of spatial control device in another area to replace the spatial environment of the plurality of areas.
　環境嗜好性の高いワーカーとは、空間制御機器（照明機器１１、空調機器１２、芳香機器１３、音響機器１４、映像機器１５）のうち、少なくとも１つの制御機器の少なくとも１つのパラメータに対する嗜好性がエリア内外の固定設備と比較して高く、そのパラメータが在席位置を決定する主要因となるワーカーのことである。一方、場所嗜好性の高いユーザーとは、エリア内外の特定の固定設備に対する嗜好性が、全空間制御機器（照明機器１１、空調機器１２、芳香機器１３、音響機器１４、映像機器１５）の全パラメータと比較して高く、その固定設備が在席位置を決定する主要因となるワーカーのことである。 A worker with a high environmental preference is a worker who has a preference for at least one parameter of at least one control device among space control devices (lighting device 11, air conditioning device 12, fragrance device 13, audio device 14, video device 15). It is a worker who is higher than fixed equipment inside and outside the area and whose parameters are the main factor in determining the seating position. On the other hand, a user with a high location preference means that the preference for specific fixed equipment inside and outside the area is all of the entire space control equipment (lighting equipment 11, air conditioning equipment 12, fragrance equipment 13, audio equipment 14, video equipment 15). It is a worker who is expensive compared to the parameters and whose fixed equipment is the main factor in determining the seating position.
　詳しくは後述するが、制御装置２０は、１日、１週間等の所定期間毎に、エリア１，２，３の各々における照明機器１１毎に設定した出力、色温度等の制御パラメータを、別のエリアの照明機器１１の制御パラメータと入れ替える。これにより、エリア１，２，３の照明環境が入れ替えられる。照明環境を入れ替えることで、環境嗜好性が高いワーカーの移動を促し、特定の席を常時使用するワーカーを減らすことができる。一方、照明環境が変化しても場所嗜好性の高いワーカーは他のエリアに移動しないことが想定されるので、交流する人が変化し、コミュニケーションの活性化を図ることができる。 As will be described in detail later, the control device 20 separates control parameters such as output and color temperature set for each lighting device 11 in each of the areas 1, 2, and 3 at predetermined periods such as one day and one week. It is replaced with the control parameter of the lighting device 11 in the area of. As a result, the lighting environments of areas 1, 2 and 3 are replaced. By exchanging the lighting environment, it is possible to encourage the movement of workers who have a high environmental preference and reduce the number of workers who always use a specific seat. On the other hand, even if the lighting environment changes, it is assumed that workers with high location preference do not move to other areas, so that the people who interact with each other can change and communication can be activated.
　このとき、場所指向性の高いユーザーに対しては、日ごろから気に入っている場所を離れるというストレスを与えることなく、コミュニケーションの活性化を図ることができるため、例えば、出勤時にダーツやルーレット等によりオフィスで働く全ユーザーに対して席の選択を強制するシステムや運用方法よりも、ユーザーに負担を与えることを少なくし易いことが特徴である。 At this time, for users with high location orientation, it is possible to activate communication without giving the stress of leaving the favorite place on a daily basis. Therefore, for example, when going to work, the office is operated with darts or roulette. The feature is that it is easier to reduce the burden on users than the system and operation method that forces all users working in the office to select seats.
　制御パラメータの入れ替えの際、パラメータが全く同一のまま変動せずに入れ替えられてもよいが、そのパラメータ変動範囲が実質的に同一区分内とみなせる範囲であれば、パラメータが変動していてもよい。例えば、照明機器の光源色は「電球色（２６００～３２５０Ｋ）」、「温白色(３２５０～３８００Ｋ)」、「白色（３８００～４５００Ｋ）」、「昼白色（４６００～５５００Ｋ）」、「昼光色（５７００～７１００Ｋ）」の５区分に分けられる（ＪＩＳ　Ｚ　９１１２：２０１２）。その区分内であれば、感じられる色は大きく変わらず、在席位置決定に影響を与え難いので、パラメータ入替の際、同区分内ではパラメータが変動していてもよい。また、このパラメータの変動は、色温度のような量的変数に限らず、音楽コンテンツのような質的変数でも変動していてよい。音楽コンテンツの場合、１曲単位では異なる楽曲であっても、ジャズ、クラシック、テクノといった音楽ジャンルが同一の場合や、作曲者や歌手が同じであれば、楽曲から感じられる印象は大きく変わらず、在席位置決定に影響を与えないので、パラメータ入替の際、同区分内ではパラメータが変動していてもよい。 When replacing the control parameters, the parameters may be replaced without changing while remaining exactly the same, but the parameters may change as long as the parameter fluctuation range can be regarded as substantially within the same category. .. For example, the light source colors of lighting equipment are "bulb color (2600 to 3250K)", "warm white (3250 to 3800K)", "white (3800 to 4500K)", "daylight white (4600 to 5500K)", and "daylight color (4600 to 5500K)". It is divided into 5 categories of "5700-7100K)" (JIS Z 9112: 2012). Within that category, the perceived color does not change significantly and does not easily affect the determination of the seating position. Therefore, when the parameters are replaced, the parameters may fluctuate within the same category. Further, the fluctuation of this parameter is not limited to a quantitative variable such as color temperature, and may fluctuate not only in a qualitative variable such as music content. In the case of music content, even if each song is different, if the music genres such as jazz, classic, and techno are the same, or if the composer and singer are the same, the impression felt from the song does not change significantly. Since it does not affect the determination of the presence position, the parameters may fluctuate within the same category when the parameters are replaced.
　また、制御パラメータ入れ替えの際、在席位置決定に実質的に影響を与えない範囲内であれば、各エリア内のすべての制御機器の制御パラメータが入れ替わっている必要はない。例えば、エリア１，２，３それぞれに同一の照明機器が５０台存在しており、入れ替え制御パラメータが色温度であるとする。各エリアの内のそれぞれ５台の色温度が入れ替わっていなくても、感じられる空間の印象は大きく変わらず、在席位置決定に影響を与えないため、在席位置決定に影響を与えない範囲内であれば、各エリア内のすべての制御機器の制御パラメータが入れ替わっている必要はない。 Also, when replacing the control parameters, it is not necessary that the control parameters of all the control devices in each area are replaced as long as they do not substantially affect the determination of the seating position. For example, it is assumed that 50 identical lighting devices exist in each of the areas 1, 2, and 3, and the replacement control parameter is the color temperature. Even if the color temperatures of each of the five units in each area are not switched, the impression of the space that can be felt does not change significantly and does not affect the determination of the seating position, so it is within the range that does not affect the determination of the seating position. If so, it is not necessary that the control parameters of all the control devices in each area are exchanged.
　空間制御システム１０は、空間制御機器として、照明機器１１、空調機器１２、芳香機器１３、音響機器１４、および映像機器１５から選択される少なくとも１種を備える。空間制御システム１０では、所定期間毎に、エリア１，２，３間で空間制御機器の制御パラメータの入れ替えを行うので、各エリアには同種の空間制御機器が少なくとも１つずつ設けられる。図１および図２に示す例では、各エリアに照明器具１１が設置されている。 The space control system 10 includes at least one selected from lighting equipment 11, air conditioning equipment 12, fragrance equipment 13, audio equipment 14, and video equipment 15 as space control equipment.

In the examples shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, lighting fixtures 11 are installed in each area.
　また、空間制御システム１０は、エリア１，２，３の状態に関する情報を取得するためのセンサとして、カメラ３０を備えていてもよい。カメラ３０は、例えば、エリア１，２，３にそれぞれ設置される。制御装置２０は、カメラ３０の画像からエリア毎にワーカーの人数を計測し、当該計測値に基づいて各エリアの面積を変更するように構成されていてもよい。具体的には、人が少ないエリアの面積を縮小して、人が多いエリアの面積を拡大する。なお、エリア１，２，３毎のワーカーの人数など、各エリアの状態に関する情報は、カメラ３０の代わりに、またはカメラ３０と共に、赤外線センサ、感圧センサ、着座センサ、ＬＰＳ（Ｌｏｃａｌ　Ｐｏｓｉｔｉｏｎｉｎｇ　Ｓｙｓｔｅｍ）と呼ばれる屋内位置情報システムにおけるスキャナや、ＬＩＤＡＲ（Ｌａｓｅｒ　Ｉｍａｇｉｎｇ　Ｄｅｔｅｃｔｉｏｎ　ａｎｄ　Ｒａｎｇｉｎｇ）と呼ばれるレーザーによる測距システムにおけるレーザーセンサ等の他のセンサを用いて取得してもよい。 Further, the space control system 10 may include a camera 30 as a sensor for acquiring information regarding the states of the areas 1, 2, and 3. The cameras 30 are installed in, for example, areas 1, 2, and 3, respectively. The control device 20 may be configured to measure the number of workers for each area from the image of the camera 30 and change the area of each area based on the measured value. Specifically, the area of the area with few people is reduced and the area of the area with many people is expanded. Information on the state of each area, such as the number of workers in each of the areas 1, 2, and 3, can be found in place of the camera 30, or together with the camera 30, an infrared sensor, a pressure sensor, a seating sensor, and an LPS (Local Positioning System). It may be acquired by using a scanner in an indoor position information system called LIDAR or another sensor such as a laser sensor in a laser ranging system called LIDAR (Laser Imaging Detection and Ranking).

When a plurality of lighting devices 11 are provided in each area, they may be the same device or may have different structures. In the examples shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the same number (3 each) of the same lighting devices 11 are installed on the ceiling of each area. In this case, the control parameters such as the output and the color temperature set for each of the lighting devices 11 in the areas 1, 2 and 3 are simply replaced with the control parameters of the lighting devices 11 in the other areas to illuminate each area. The environment can be replaced. For example, the initial set color temperatures set for each of the lighting devices 11 in areas 1, 2, and 3 are 3000K, 4000K, and 5000K, respectively, and after 12 hours, which is a predetermined period, have elapsed, the areas 1, 2, and 3 The color temperature set for each lighting device 11 is replaced with 4000K, 5000K, and 3000K, respectively.

The replacement of the environment by this video device is determined by the measurement result of the measuring device such as the color illuminance meter and the set value of the parameter setting processing unit.
　［制御装置２０］
　制御装置２０は、上記のように、エリア１，２，３の各々における空間制御機器毎に異なる制御パラメータを設定して、空間制御機器を制御すると共に、所定期間毎に、設定した空間制御機器の制御パラメータを適用するエリアを変更するように構成されている。制御装置２０は、かかる機能を実行するための処理部として、パラメータ設定処理部２３および適用エリア変更処理部２４を含む。また、制御装置２０は、設定された空間制御機器の制御パラメータの適用範囲を拡大または縮小して、エリア１，２，３の少なくとも１つの面積を変更するエリア面積変更処理部２５を含んでいてもよい。 [Control device 20]

May be good.
　制御装置２０は、プロセッサ２１、メモリ２２、および入出力インターフェイス等を備えるコンピュータで構成される。プロセッサ２１は、例えばＣＰＵまたはＧＰＵで構成され、空間制御システム１０の機能を実行するためのアプリケーションソフトウェア（制御プログラム）を読み出して実行することにより上記各処理部の機能を実現する。メモリ２２は、上記制御プログラム、空間制御機器の制御パラメータ、制御パラメータを入れ替える所定期間等を記憶する、ＲＯＭ、ＨＤＤ、ＳＳＤ等の不揮発性メモリと、ＲＡＭ等の揮発性メモリとを含む。 The control device 20 is composed of a computer including a processor 21, a memory 22, an input / output interface, and the like.

The memory 22 includes a non-volatile memory such as a ROM, HDD, SSD, and a volatile memory such as a RAM, which stores the control program, control parameters of the spatial control device, a predetermined period for replacing the control parameters, and the like.
　制御装置２０は、例えばインターネット等の広域ネットワーク、またはイントラネット等のプライベートネットワークを介してエリア１，２，３の制御対象となる空間制御機器にアクセス可能なサーバで構成される。サーバは、空間制御システム１０の専用サーバであってもよく、他のシステムの演算装置として兼用されていてもよい。サーバに空間制御システム１０の機能を実行するための制御プログラムをインストールすることで、サーバを制御装置２０として機能させることができる。なお、制御装置２０は、オフィス１００内に設置されるサーバ、クラウドサーバ、一般的なパソコン、ダブレット端末等で構成されていてもよい。 The control device 20 is composed of a server that can access the spatial control devices to be controlled in areas 1, 2, and 3 via a wide area network such as the Internet or a private network such as an intranet.

　パラメータ設定処理部２３は、エリア１，２，３の各々における空間制御機器毎に制御パラメータを設定する機能を有する。図１および図２に示す例では、エリア１の照明機器１１と、エリア２の照明機器１１と、エリア３の照明機器１１とで、互いに異なる制御パラメータを設定し、各エリアの照明環境を異なったものとする。パラメータ設定処理部２３は、各エリア内における同じ照明機器１１について同じ制御パラメータを設定する。言い換えると、パラメータ設定処理部２３は、制御パラメータが同一となる照明機器１１のグループを作成する。 The parameter setting processing unit 23 has a function of setting control parameters for each spatial control device in each of the areas 1, 2, and 3. In the examples shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, different control parameters are set for the lighting device 11 in the area 1, the lighting device 11 in the area 2, and the lighting device 11 in the area 3, and the lighting environment in each area is different. It shall be. The parameter setting processing unit 23 sets the same control parameters for the same lighting device 11 in each area. In other words, the parameter setting processing unit 23 creates a group of lighting devices 11 having the same control parameters.
　パラメータ設定処理部２３は、所定の設定操作に基づいて、各照明機器１１に、出力、色温度等の制御パラメータを設定し、設定した制御パラメータをメモリ２２に記憶させる。所定の設定操作は、例えば専用のコントローラ、または空間制御システム１０のアプリケーションソフトウェアがインストールされたタブレット端末、スマートフォン、パソコン等を用いて、システム管理者またはユーザー（ワーカー）が行う。制御装置２０は、設定された制御パラメータを照明機器１１に送信し、照明機器１１は当該パラメータに従って点灯する。なお、制御装置２０は、各照明機器１１の位置情報を有し、各照明機器１１の点灯状態に関する情報を取得可能に構成されている。 The parameter setting processing unit 23 sets control parameters such as output and color temperature in each lighting device 11 based on a predetermined setting operation, and stores the set control parameters in the memory 22. The predetermined setting operation is performed by a system administrator or a user (worker) using, for example, a dedicated controller or a tablet terminal, a smartphone, a personal computer, or the like in which the application software of the spatial control system 10 is installed. The control device 20 transmits the set control parameters to the lighting device 11, and the lighting device 11 lights up according to the parameters. The control device 20 has position information of each lighting device 11, and is configured to be able to acquire information regarding a lighting state of each lighting device 11.
　パラメータ設定処理部２３により設定される各空間制御機器の制御パラメータの一例を表１に示す。
Figure JPOXMLDOC01-appb-T000001
 Table 1 shows an example of the control parameters of each space control device set by the parameter setting processing unit 23.
Figure JPOXMLDOC01-appb-T000001
　パラメータ設定処理部２３は、上記のように、複数の同種の空間制御機器に同一の制御パラメータを設定して空間制御機器のグループを作成する。パラメータ設定処理部２３は、例えば、出力および色温度が第１の条件に設定される第１グループ、出力および色温度が第２の条件に設定される第２グループ、および出力および色温度が第３の条件に設定される第３グループを作成する。第１～第３の条件は互いに異なるため、照明環境が異なる複数のエリア１，２，３ができる。なお、エリア１，２，３の面積は、同一の制御パラメータが設定される空間制御機器の数（グループを構成する空間制御機器の数）によって変更することも可能である。 As described above, the parameter setting processing unit 23 sets the same control parameters for a plurality of space control devices of the same type and creates a group of space control devices. In the parameter setting processing unit 23, for example, the first group in which the output and the color temperature are set in the first condition, the second group in which the output and the color temperature are set in the second condition, and the output and the color temperature are second. Create a third group that is set to the condition of 3. Since the first to third conditions are different from each other, a plurality of areas 1, 2, and 3 having different lighting environments can be created. The areas of areas 1, 2, and 3 can be changed depending on the number of spatial control devices (the number of spatial control devices that make up the group) in which the same control parameters are set.
　適用エリア変更処理部２４は、所定期間毎に、複数のエリアのうちの一のエリアにおける空間制御機器の制御パラメータを他のエリアにおける同種の空間制御機器の制御パラメータと入れ替えて、複数のエリアの空間環境を入れ替える機能を有する。適用エリア変更処理部２４は、例えば、パラメータ設定処理部２３の機能により初期設定または変更設定された空間制御機器の制御パラメータを他のエリアの同種の空間制御機器の制御パラメータと入れ替え、新たに設定した制御パラメータをメモリ２２に記憶させる。その後、所定期間が経過する度に、当該制御パラメータの入れ替えを繰り返し実行する。 The applicable area change processing unit 24 replaces the control parameters of the spatial control device in one area of the plurality of areas with the control parameters of the same type of spatial control device in the other area at predetermined intervals, and replaces the control parameters of the plurality of areas. It has a function to replace the spatial environment. For example, the application area change processing unit 24 replaces the control parameters of the space control device initially set or changed by the function of the parameter setting processing unit 23 with the control parameters of the same type of space control device in another area, and newly sets the control parameters. The control parameters are stored in the memory 22. After that, every time a predetermined period elapses, the replacement of the control parameters is repeatedly executed.
　図１および図２に示す例では、所定期間が経過した時点で、エリア１の照明機器１１の制御パラメータＢ１をエリア２の照明機器１１に、エリア２の照明機器１１の制御パラメータＢ２をエリア３の照明機器１１に、エリア３の照明機器１１の制御パラメータＢ３をエリア１の照明機器１１にそれぞれ適用する。ここで、制御パラメータＢ１，Ｂ２，Ｂ３は、それぞれエリア１，２，３における所定期間経過前の制御パラメータを意味する。各エリアの照明器具１１は同じ器具であるため、適用エリア変更処理部２４は、例えば、制御パラメータを変更することなく単純に入れ替える。 In the examples shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, when a predetermined period has elapsed, the control parameter B1 of the lighting device 11 in the area 1 is set to the lighting device 11 in the area 2, and the control parameter B2 of the lighting device 11 in the area 2 is set to the area 3. The control parameter B3 of the lighting device 11 in the area 3 is applied to the lighting device 11 in the area 1. Here, the control parameters B1, B2, and B3 mean the control parameters in the areas 1, 2, and 3 before the elapse of a predetermined period, respectively. Since the lighting fixtures 11 in each area are the same fixtures, the application area change processing unit 24 simply replaces the lighting fixtures 11 without changing the control parameters, for example.
　換言すると、適用エリア変更処理部２４は、所定期間毎に、それぞれ同一の制御パラメータに初期設定された照明器具１１のグループ間で制御パラメータを入れ替える。具体的には、第１グループの初期の制御パラメータを、第２グループの制御パラメータとして新たに設定する。また、第２グループの初期の制御パラメータを、第３グループの制御パラメータとして新たに設定し、第３グループの初期の制御パラメータを第１グループの制御パラメータとして新たに設定する。 In other words, the application area change processing unit 24 exchanges control parameters between groups of lighting fixtures 11 that are initially set to the same control parameters at predetermined intervals. Specifically, the initial control parameters of the first group are newly set as the control parameters of the second group. Further, the initial control parameters of the second group are newly set as the control parameters of the third group, and the initial control parameters of the third group are newly set as the control parameters of the first group.
　適用エリア変更処理部２４は、初期設定において上記各グループを構成する照明器具１１の数が異なる場合に、各グループを構成する照明器具１１の数を増減してエリア１，２，３の面積を変動させないように制御パラメータを入れ替えてもよい。或いは、初期設定の制御パラメータが適用される照明器具１１の数を変動させないように制御パラメータを入れ替えてもよい。後者の場合、エリア１，２，３の面積が変動する。 When the number of lighting fixtures 11 constituting each of the above groups is different in the initial setting, the application area change processing unit 24 increases or decreases the number of lighting fixtures 11 constituting each group to increase the area of areas 1, 2, and 3. The control parameters may be exchanged so as not to fluctuate. Alternatively, the control parameters may be interchanged so as not to fluctuate the number of luminaires 11 to which the default control parameters are applied. In the latter case, the areas of areas 1, 2 and 3 fluctuate.
　適用エリア変更処理部２４は、複数のエリアの各々に、２種類以上の空間制御機器が設けられる場合、所定期間毎に、少なくとも１種の空間制御機器の制御パラメータを他のエリアの同種の空間制御機器の制御パラメータと入れ替える。例えば、エリア１，２，３の各々に、照明器具１１、芳香機器１３、および音響機器１４が設けられる場合（後述の図４参照）、照明器具１１の制御パラメータのみをエリア間で入れ替えてもよい。或いは、芳香機器１３、音響機器１４を含む全ての空間制御機器の制御パラメータを入れ替えてもよい。 When two or more types of space control devices are provided in each of the plurality of areas, the application area change processing unit 24 sets the control parameters of at least one type of space control device to the same type of space in the other area at predetermined intervals. Replace with the control parameters of the control device. For example, when the lighting equipment 11, the fragrance equipment 13, and the audio equipment 14 are provided in each of the areas 1, 2, and 3 (see FIG. 4 described later), even if only the control parameters of the lighting equipment 11 are exchanged between the areas. good. Alternatively, the control parameters of all the spatial control devices including the fragrance device 13 and the acoustic device 14 may be exchanged.
　上記所定期間は、半日、１日、１週間、２週間、１ヶ月など、任意の期間に設定できるが、好ましくは1年以下に設定される。企業活動は１年ごとに計画策定され、それに伴い業務単位や組織内の人員配置が１年ごとに変わることが多い。所定期間を１年に設定することで、部署異動直後のワーカーの組織内コミュニケーションを活性化させることができる。同様に、企業活動は１年の中でも上期、下期のような２分割制または第１～第４クォーターのような４分割制で推進されることが多く、それに伴い業務単位や組織内の人員配置が６ヶ月または３ヶ月ごとに変わることが多い。所定期間を６ヶ月または３ヶ月に設定することで、部署異動直後のワーカーの組織内コミュニケーションを活性化させることができる。また、部署異動の有無に限らず、半日や１日といった短い所定期間で細かく入れ替えを行うことで、日々のコミュニケーションをとるワーカーが変化し、組織内コミュニケーションが活性化する。適用エリア変更処理部２４は、１日に複数回、例えば午前と午後で、空間制御機器の制御パラメータを入れ替えてもよい。また、所定期間が経過していなくても、空間制御機器の制御パラメータはワーカーまたは総務などの管理者が、任意のタイミングで入れ替えてもよい。各エリアに、照明機器１１と空調機器１２のように種類の異なる空間制御機器が設けられる場合、適用エリア変更処理部２４は、全ての空間制御機器について同時に制御パラメータを入れ替えてもよいが、空間制御機器の種類毎に異なる所定期間を設定してもよい。 The above predetermined period can be set to any period such as half a day, one day, one week, two weeks, and one month, but is preferably set to one year or less. Corporate activities are planned every year, and the work unit and staffing within the organization often change every year. By setting the predetermined period to one year, it is possible to activate the communication within the organization of the worker immediately after the department transfer. Similarly, corporate activities are often promoted in a two-division system such as the first half and the second half of the year, or a four-division system such as the first to fourth quarters. Often changes every 6 or 3 months. By setting the predetermined period to 6 months or 3 months, it is possible to activate the communication within the organization of the worker immediately after the department transfer. In addition, regardless of whether or not there is a change in department, by making small changes in a short predetermined period such as half a day or one day, the workers who communicate daily will change and communication within the organization will be activated. The application area change processing unit 24 may switch the control parameters of the spatial control device a plurality of times a day, for example, in the morning and the afternoon. Further, even if the predetermined period has not passed, the control parameters of the spatial control device may be replaced by a worker or an administrator such as general affairs at an arbitrary timing. When different types of space control devices such as the lighting device 11 and the air conditioner device 12 are provided in each area, the application area change processing unit 24 may replace the control parameters for all the space control devices at the same time, but the space. A different predetermined period may be set for each type of control device.
　適用エリア変更処理部２４は、例えば、所定期間毎の空間制御機器の制御パラメータの入れ替えをランダムに実行する処理を一部に含んでいてもよい。或いは、エリア１→エリア２→エリア３→エリア１・・・のように、所定期間毎の制御パラメータの入れ替えを規則的に実行してもよい。この場合、ワーカーは空間環境の入れ替えパターンを予測できるので、前もって使用するエリアを考えることができる。一方、所定期間毎の制御パラメータの入れ替えをランダムに行う場合は、空間環境の入れ替えパターンが予測できないので、ワーカーはその日の気分、直感等により使用するエリアを選択することが想定され、交流する人の変化がより促進される可能性がある。 The application area change processing unit 24 may include, for example, a process of randomly executing the replacement of control parameters of the space control device at predetermined period intervals. Alternatively, the control parameters may be regularly replaced at predetermined period intervals, such as area 1 → area 2 → area 3 → area 1. In this case, the worker can predict the replacement pattern of the spatial environment, so that the area to be used can be considered in advance. On the other hand, when the control parameters are randomly exchanged for each predetermined period, the spatial environment exchange pattern cannot be predicted, so it is assumed that the worker selects the area to be used according to the mood and intuition of the day, and the person who interacts with the person. Change may be promoted more.
　エリア面積変更処理部２５は、同一の制御パラメータを設定する空間制御機器の数を増減して、複数のエリア１，２，３の少なくとも１つの面積を変更する機能を有する。同一の制御パラメータが適用される範囲（空間制御機器の数）を変更することによってエリア面積を変更することが可能である場合、エリア面積変更処理部２５は、例えば、同一の制御パラメータが適用される範囲を縮小して、エリア面積を小さくすることができる。他方、同一の制御パラメータが適用される範囲をエリア外に拡大することで、エリア面積を大きくすることができる。なお、エリア１，２，３が隣接している場合、１つのエリアの面積を変更すると、通常、他のエリアの面積も変化する。 The area area change processing unit 25 has a function of increasing or decreasing the number of spatial control devices that set the same control parameters to change at least one area of a plurality of areas 1, 2, and 3. When the area area can be changed by changing the range (the number of spatial control devices) to which the same control parameter is applied, for example, the same control parameter is applied to the area area change processing unit 25. The area can be reduced by reducing the area. On the other hand, the area area can be increased by extending the range to which the same control parameter is applied to the outside of the area. When areas 1, 2, and 3 are adjacent to each other, changing the area of one area usually changes the area of the other area.
　エリア面積変更処理部２５によるエリア面積の変更は、任意のタイミングで実行されてもよく、空間環境を入れ替えるタイミングに合わせて実行されてもよい。エリア面積変更処理部２５は、例えば、カメラ３０の画像等のセンサ情報からエリア毎にワーカーの人数を計測し、当該計測値に基づいて各エリアの面積を変更する。具体的には、人数が所定の閾値より少ないエリアの面積を縮小し、人数が所定の閾値より多いエリアの面積を拡大する。なお、エリア１，２，３が隣接している場合、例えば一のエリアでワーカーの人数が閾値を超え、かつ他のエリアでワーカーの人数が閾値を下回ったときに、当該一のエリアの面積を拡大し、当該他のエリアの面積を縮小する。 The area area change by the area area change processing unit 25 may be executed at an arbitrary timing, or may be executed at the timing of replacing the spatial environment. The area area change processing unit 25 measures the number of workers for each area from sensor information such as an image of the camera 30, and changes the area of each area based on the measured value. Specifically, the area of the area where the number of people is less than the predetermined threshold is reduced, and the area of the area where the number of people is larger than the predetermined threshold is expanded. When areas 1, 2, and 3 are adjacent to each other, for example, when the number of workers in one area exceeds the threshold value and the number of workers in the other area falls below the threshold value, the area of the one area. And reduce the area of the other area.
　上記構成を備えた空間制御システム１０によれば、特定のエリアを常時使用するワーカーを一定数の残しつつ、エリア間のワーカー移動を促進することにより、ワーカー同士のコミュニケーションを活性化することができる。 According to the spatial control system 10 having the above configuration, it is possible to activate communication between workers by promoting the movement of workers between areas while leaving a certain number of workers who always use a specific area. ..
　図１および図２に示す例では、複数のエリア１，２，３に区分されたオフィス１００において、１日、１週間等の所定期間毎に各エリアの照明環境を入れ替えることで、ワーカーが同じエリアに留まることを抑制できる。特に、環境嗜好性（照明嗜好性）の高いワーカーは、照明環境の変更に伴って別のエリアに移動する。例えば、初期のエリア１の照明環境を好むワーカーＡは、所定期間経過後に初期のエリア１の照明環境を再現するエリア２に移動することが想定される。同様の理由で、照明嗜好性の高いワーカーＤ，Ｅは別のエリアに移動する。図１および図２に示す例では、ワーカーＥがエリア２からエリア３に、ワーカーＤがエリア３からエリア１にそれぞれ移動している。 In the examples shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in the office 100 divided into a plurality of areas 1, 2, and 3, the workers are the same by exchanging the lighting environment of each area at predetermined periods such as one day and one week. It is possible to suppress staying in the area. In particular, workers with high environmental preference (lighting preference) move to another area as the lighting environment changes. For example, it is assumed that the worker A who prefers the lighting environment of the initial area 1 moves to the area 2 that reproduces the lighting environment of the initial area 1 after a predetermined period of time has elapsed. For the same reason, workers D and E with high lighting preference move to another area. In the examples shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, worker E is moving from area 2 to area 3, and worker D is moving from area 3 to area 1.
　一方、コピー機５を好むワーカーＢ（例えば、コピー機５の使用頻度が高い）、本棚６を好むワーカーＦ（例えば、本棚６の使用頻度が高い）、および自動販売機７を好むワーカーＣ（例えば、自動販売機７の使用頻度が高い）のように、場所嗜好性が高いワーカーは、照明環境が変化しても元のエリアから移動しないことが想定される。つまり、環境嗜好性により別のエリアに移動するワーカーと、場所嗜好性により動かないワーカーとが存在するため、交流する人が変化し、ワーカー同士のコミュニケーションの活性化を図ることができる。 On the other hand, a worker B who prefers the copier 5 (for example, the copier 5 is frequently used), a worker F who prefers the bookshelf 6 (for example, the bookshelf 6 is frequently used), and a worker C who prefers the vending machine 7 (for example, the bookshelf 6 is frequently used). For example, it is assumed that a worker with a high location preference, such as (the vending machine 7 is frequently used), does not move from the original area even if the lighting environment changes. That is, since there are workers who move to another area due to environmental preference and workers who do not move due to location preference, the people who interact with each other change, and communication between workers can be activated.
　図４は、上記実施形態の変形例を示す図である。図４に例示する空間制御システム１０は、エリア１，２，３にそれぞれ構造の異なる照明器具１１Ａ，１１Ｂ，１１Ｃを備えている。この場合も、所定期間毎に、照明器具１１Ａ，１１Ｂ，１１Ｃの制御パラメータを他のエリアの別の照明器具の制御パラメータと単純に入れ替えることで、エリア１，２，３の照明環境を入れ替えてもよい。但し、照明器具１１Ａ，１１Ｂ，１１Ｃの構造が違うため、制御パラメータを単純に入れ替えると、目的とするような照明環境を実現できない場合がある。そこで、制御装置２０は、各エリアの初期の照明環境を他のエリアで再現できるように、照明器具１１Ａ，１１Ｂ，１１Ｃの制御パラメータの設定値を補正してもよい。例えば、補正した照明器具１１Ａの制御パラメータを照明器具１１Ｂの制御パラメータとして新たに設定する。 FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a modified example of the above embodiment. The space control system 10 illustrated in FIG. 4 includes lighting fixtures 11A, 11B, and 11C having different structures in areas 1, 2, and 3, respectively. In this case as well, the lighting environments of areas 1, 2, and 3 are exchanged by simply exchanging the control parameters of the lighting fixtures 11A, 11B, and 11C with the control parameters of other lighting fixtures in other areas at predetermined intervals. May be good. However, since the structures of the lighting fixtures 11A, 11B, and 11C are different, it may not be possible to realize the desired lighting environment by simply exchanging the control parameters. Therefore, the control device 20 may correct the set values of the control parameters of the lighting fixtures 11A, 11B, and 11C so that the initial lighting environment of each area can be reproduced in other areas. For example, the corrected control parameter of the luminaire 11A is newly set as the control parameter of the luminaire 11B.
　図４に示す例では、エリア１，２，３の各々に芳香機器１３および音響機器１４が設けられている。制御装置２０は、照明器具１１Ａ，１１Ｂ，１１Ｃの制御パラメータを初期の設定値のまま固定し、芳香機器１３および音響機器１４の少なくとも一方の制御パラメータを他のエリアの同種の機器の制御パラメータと入れ替えてもよい。この場合、所定期間毎に、各エリアの照明環境は自動的に変化しないが、各エリアの香りおよび音楽が変化することで空間環境を入れ替えることができる。 In the example shown in FIG. 4, the fragrance device 13 and the audio device 14 are provided in each of the areas 1, 2, and 3. The control device 20 fixes the control parameters of the lighting fixtures 11A, 11B, and 11C with the initial set values, and sets the control parameters of at least one of the fragrance device 13 and the acoustic device 14 as the control parameters of the same type of device in the other area. It may be replaced. In this case, the lighting environment of each area does not change automatically for each predetermined period, but the spatial environment can be replaced by changing the scent and music of each area.
　図４に示す例では、エリア１に小さな窓８が、エリア２に大きな窓９がそれぞれ存在し、エリア３には窓が存在しない。窓の有無およびその大きさは、ワーカーが使用するエリアを選択する上で重要な要素となり得る。なお、窓は照明器具のように明るさを任意に制御できないものの空間環境にも影響する。このため、図１および図２に示す例と同様に、各エリアの空間環境を入れ替えしても元のエリアに留まるワーカーが一定数存在し、空間環境の変化により他のエリアに移動するワーカーとの交流が図られる。 In the example shown in FIG. 4, a small window 8 exists in the area 1, a large window 9 exists in the area 2, and no window exists in the area 3. The presence or absence of windows and their size can be important factors in choosing an area for workers to use. It should be noted that although windows cannot control the brightness arbitrarily like lighting fixtures, they also affect the spatial environment. Therefore, as in the examples shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, there are a certain number of workers who stay in the original area even if the spatial environment of each area is exchanged, and a worker who moves to another area due to a change in the spatial environment. Exchange is planned.
　図５は、上記構成を備えた空間制御システム１０の基本的な制御手順の一例を示すフローチャートである。図５に例示するように、空間制御システム１０の制御手順では、まず各エリアの空間制御機器毎に制御パラメータが設定される（Ｓ１０）。言い換えると、同一の制御パラメータで作動する空気制御機器のグループを作成する。Ｓ１０の手順は、パラメータ設定処理部２３の機能により実行される。設定された制御パラメータは、各空間制御機器に送信され、各空間制御機器は当該パラメータに従って動作し、各エリアで所定の空間環境を実現する（Ｓ１１）。 FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of a basic control procedure of the space control system 10 having the above configuration. As illustrated in FIG. 5, in the control procedure of the space control system 10, first, control parameters are set for each space control device in each area (S10). In other words, create a group of air control devices that operate with the same control parameters. The procedure of S10 is executed by the function of the parameter setting processing unit 23. The set control parameters are transmitted to each spatial control device, and each spatial control device operates according to the parameters to realize a predetermined spatial environment in each area (S11).
　そして、所定期間が経過した時点で（Ｓ１２）、空間制御機器の制御パラメータの入れ替えを行い、各エリアの空間環境を入れ替える（Ｓ１３）。この手順は、適用エリア変更処理部２４の機能により実行される。適用エリア変更処理部２４は、上記のように、複数のエリアのうちの一のエリアにおける空間制御機器の制御パラメータを他のエリアにおける同種の空間制御機器の制御パラメータと入れ替えることで、複数のエリアの空間環境を入れ替える。このとき、制御パラメータを変更することなく単純にそのまま入れ替えてもよく、制御パラメータを補正して補正したパラメータを他のエリアの機器に適用してもよい。 Then, when the predetermined period has elapsed (S12), the control parameters of the spatial control device are exchanged, and the spatial environment of each area is exchanged (S13). This procedure is executed by the function of the application area change processing unit 24. As described above, the application area change processing unit 24 replaces the control parameters of the spatial control device in one area of the plurality of areas with the control parameters of the same type of spatial control device in the other area, thereby performing a plurality of areas. Replace the spatial environment of. At this time, the control parameters may be simply replaced without being changed, or the control parameters may be corrected and the corrected parameters may be applied to devices in other areas.
　なお、上記実施形態では、空間制御機器として、主に照明器具１１を例示したが、上記説明の照明器具１１の代わりに、または照明器具１１に加えて、空調機器１２等の他の空間制御機器が空間環境の制御に用いられてもよい。 In the above embodiment, the lighting fixture 11 is mainly exemplified as the space control device, but instead of the lighting fixture 11 described above or in addition to the lighting fixture 11, other space control devices such as the air conditioning device 12 are used. May be used to control the spatial environment.
