FIG. The difference between the first graph GF1 and the second graph GF2 is that the second graph GF1 shows changes over time in the usage mode of the air conditioner 10 for the facility 1 designated by the manager P, while the first graph GF1 shows changes over time show no change.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the first graph GF1.
The first graph GF1 is a two-dimensional graph. The vertical and horizontal axes of the first graph GF1 may not be mutually correlated parameters, but are preferably set to mutually correlated parameters. By setting mutually correlated parameters, the administrator P can grasp the tendency of which operation is prioritized in using the air conditioner 10 in each facility 1 . In the example of FIG. 8 , the vertical axis is set to the parameter corresponding to the set temperature, and the horizontal axis is set to the parameter corresponding to the operation rate of the air conditioner 10 . Note that there is a correlation between the set temperature and the operating rate of the air conditioner 10 . An example of the correlation is a case where the user operates the air conditioner 10 for a short period of time while lowering the set temperature in order to reduce the temperature in a short period of time.

The points of the first graph GF1 are grouped by a grouping method such as multivariate analysis. In the present embodiment, the points of the first graph GF1 are of different types for each group. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, by plotting five types of points (white circle, white triangle, white square, black circle, black triangle), the points of the first graph GF1 are grouped into five groups. It is Note that the manner of grouping is not limited to differentiating the types of points, and may be the manner of differentiating the colors of the points.
The vertical axis corresponds to the "first axis" of the present disclosure. The horizontal axis corresponds to the "second axis" of the present disclosure.

For example, the graph generation unit 303 generates the first graph GF1 as follows.
The graph generation unit 303 acquires one piece of upload data UD with the latest upload date/time for each facility 1 from the first management DB 312 . Next, the graph generation unit 303 plots one point for each acquired upload data UD as follows. That is, the graph generating unit 303 plots points indicating the set temperature based on the upload data UD and the operation rate of the air conditioner 10 on the coordinates where the vertical axis is the set temperature and the horizontal axis is the operation rate of the air conditioner 10. do. Since the set temperature and the operation rate of the air conditioner 10 indicate the usage mode of the air conditioner 10 , the plotted points are usage mode information indicating the usage mode of the air conditioner 10 . Here, the set temperature based on the upload data ID may be either the set temperature described in the set temperature relational information of the upload data UD or the average set temperature described in the set temperature relational information of the upload data UD. Often, the highest temperature among the set temperatures described in the set temperature relation information of the upload data UD may be used.
After plotting the points for all the acquired upload data UD, the graph generating unit 303 groups the plotted points.
Next, the graph generation unit 303 assigns a group ID to each grouped group, and creates a table H showing the correspondence between the types of plotted points and the assigned group IDs.
The graph generator 303 then generates a first graph GF1 having the plotted and grouped points and the generated table H. FIG.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of the second graph GF2.
The second graph GF2 is a two-dimensional graph. The vertical and horizontal axes of the first graph GF1 may not be mutually correlated parameters, but are preferably set to mutually correlated parameters. By setting mutually correlated parameters, the administrator P can grasp the tendency of which operation is prioritized in using the air conditioner 10 in each facility 1 . In the example of FIG. 9 , the vertical axis is set to the parameter corresponding to the set temperature, and the horizontal axis is set to the parameter corresponding to the operating rate of the air conditioner 10 . The points of the second graph GF2 are grouped in the same way as the first graph GF1. The second graph GF2 has change information J3. The change information J3 indicates a time-dependent change in the usage mode of the air conditioner 10 for the facility 1 specified by the administrator terminal 2 . In FIG. 9, the change information J3 is an arrow.

For example, the graph generation unit 303 generates the second graph GF2 as follows.
The graph generation unit 303 acquires one piece of upload data UD with the latest upload date/time for each facility 1 from the first management DB 312 . Next, the graph generator 303 acquires from the first management DB 312 the upload data UD with the second latest upload date and time among the upload data having the facility ID of the facility 1 specified by the administrator terminal 2 . The graph generation unit 303 uses the upload data with the latest upload date and time to plot points and group them in the same manner as the first graph GF1. Next, the graph generation unit 303 plots points for the second newest upload data UD among the upload data UD of the facility 1 designated by the administrator terminal 2 . Then, the graph generation unit 303 superimposes change information J3 indicating an arrow pointing from the point corresponding to the second newest upload data UD to the point corresponding to the newest upload data UD on the coordinate system.

The horizontal axis shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 is the operation rate of the air conditioner 10, but other parameters may be used. For example, the horizontal axis of the graph GF may be the operating rate of the dehumidifying operation of the air conditioner 10 . Further, the horizontal axis of the graph GF may be the dehumidifying operation operating rate with respect to the total operating time of the air conditioner 10 in an engine that uses cooling. Also, parameters other than the parameters described above may be set for the vertical and horizontal axes in FIGS. 8 and 9 . However, the vertical and horizontal axes in FIGS. 8 and 9 are parameters that are correlated with each other. Note that there is a correlation between the set temperature and the operating rate of the dehumidifying operation. As an example showing the correlation, in order to give priority to humidity, the set temperature is increased while the dehumidifying operation is frequently performed.

Returning to the description of FIG. 3, the implementation result generation unit 304 generates an implementation result image, which is an image showing the implementation result. The implementation result indicates the result of implementation of the improvement item. The implementation result indicated by the implementation result image includes information indicating the energy saving effect obtained by improving the use of the air conditioner 10 for each group divided in the graph GF. Here, the energy saving effect is the reduced power consumption (hereinafter referred to as "reduced power consumption"). Further, the implementation result indicated by the implementation result image further includes information indicating an improvement item for which reduced power consumption equal to or greater than a predetermined standard is obtained among the improvement items assigned to each group.

The implementation result generation unit 304 generates an implementation result image as follows, for example.
First, the implementation result generating unit 304 performs the following processing for each record stored in the second management DB 313, and obtains the reduced power consumption for each group divided in the graph GF. Specifically, the implementation result generating unit 304 obtains the average of the reduced power consumption of the facility 1 belonging to the group, and uses the average as the reduced power consumption of the group. The correspondence between groups and the facilities 1 belonging to the groups is appropriately managed by the management server 4 through ID management or the like. Here, the implementation result generator 304 obtains the reduced power consumption for each facility 1 as follows. The implementation result generating unit 304 records the upload data UD in which the upload date and time corresponding to the improvement implementation period and the oldest upload date and time are recorded, and the upload date and time corresponding to the improvement implementation period and the latest upload date and time are recorded. and the uploaded data UD are obtained from the first management DB 312 . Next, for each of the two acquired upload data UD, the implementation result generation unit 304 obtains the power consumption based on the set temperature and the two operating rates recorded in the upload data UD, and calculates the difference between the obtained power consumptions. It is calculated as the reduced power consumption of Facility 1.
After obtaining the reduced power consumption for each group as described above, the implementation result generation unit 304 identifies the groups for which the reduced power consumption is equal to or greater than a predetermined standard, and recognizes the improvement items assigned to the identified groups. .
Then, the implementation result generating unit 304 generates an implementation result image representing the implementation result including information representing the reduced power consumption calculated for each group and information representing the recognized improvement items.

When the server communication control section 301 receives the upload data UD, the database processing section 305 stores the upload data UD in the first management DB 312 . When the database processing unit 305 receives registration request information from the administrator terminal 2 , the database processing unit 305 stores a record including various information included in the received registration request information in the second management DB 313 .

Next, operation of each device of the management system 100 will be described.
[1-2-1. Operation Related to Facility List Display]
First, the operation of each device of the management system 100 relating to the display of the facility list SL will be described.
FIG. 10 is a flow chart showing operations of the administrator terminal 2 and the management server 3. FIG. In FIG. 10, a flow chart FA shows the operation of the administrator terminal 2, and a flow chart FB shows the operation of the management server 3. FIG.

As shown in the flowchart FA, the reception unit 203 receives input of the type of facility list SL requested from the management server 3 (step SA1). At step SA1, reception unit 203 receives input designating at least one of first facility list SL1, second facility list SL2, third facility list SL3, and fourth facility list SL4.

The terminal communication control unit 201 transmits list request information to the management server 3 (step SA2). The list request information transmitted in step SA2 records the type of facility list SL received in step SA1.

As shown in a flowchart FB, the server communication control unit 301 receives list request information from the administrator terminal 2 (step SB1).

Next, list generation unit 302 generates a facility list SL of the type described in the list request information received in step SA1 (step SB2). For example, if the list request information received in step SA1 includes a first facility list SL1 and a second facility list SL2 as the types of the facility list SL, the list generator 302 generates the first facility list SL1 and the second facility list SL2. A second facility list SL2 is generated.

Next, the server communication control unit 301 transmits the image data of the facility list SL generated at step SB2 to the administrator terminal 2 (step SB3). In step SB2, when the list generation unit 302 generates a plurality of facility lists SL, the server communication control unit 301 transmits image data of the facility list SL to the manager terminal 2 for each of the generated facility lists SL.

As shown in the flowchart FA, the terminal communication control unit 201 receives the image data of the facility list SL from the management server 3 (step SA3).

Next, the display control unit 202 causes the display 22 to display the facility list SL indicated by the image data received in step SA4 (step SA4). In step SA4, when the management server 3 has transmitted a plurality of image data, the display control section 202 displays a plurality of facility lists SL.

Displaying the first facility list SL1 in step SA4 has the following effects. In other words, by displaying the first facility list SL1, the manager P can recognize for each facility 1 which setting temperature is set at what rate in the first temperature control. Therefore, the manager P can issue appropriate improvement instructions for each facility 1 regarding the set temperature in the first temperature control.

Also, displaying the second facility list SL2 in step SA4 has the following effects. In other words, by displaying the second facility list SL2, the administrator P can recognize for each facility 1 what set temperature is set in the second temperature control. Therefore, the administrator P can issue appropriate improvement instructions for each facility 1 regarding the set temperature in the second temperature control.

Displaying the third facility list SL3 in step SA4 has the following effects. That is, by displaying the third facility list SL3, the manager P can recognize how much the set temperature was changed in which time zone in the first temperature control for each facility 1 . Therefore, the manager P can issue appropriate improvement instructions for each facility 1 regarding the set temperature in the first temperature control.

Displaying the fourth facility list SL4 in step SA4 has the following effects. That is, by displaying the fourth facility list SL4, the administrator P can recognize for each facility 1 how much the set temperature was changed in which time zone in the second temperature control. Therefore, the administrator P can issue appropriate improvement instructions for each facility 1 regarding the set temperature in the second temperature control.
Further, by displaying the fourth facility list SL4 in step SA4, the administrator P can more accurately recognize the coolness and warmth felt by the user of the air conditioner 10 compared to the third facility list SL3. Specifically, when the air conditioner 10 is operating under the first temperature control, the set temperature is less likely to change from the set temperature set by the user of the air conditioner 10 . This is because, for example, the set temperature is set high at dawn in winter, and even if it feels a little hot during the day, the discomfort may be eliminated by putting on and taking off clothes.
Therefore, there is a possibility that the third facility list SL3 does not appropriately reflect the feeling of coolness that the user of the air conditioner 10 feels. However, in the second temperature control, even if the set temperature is changed, it returns to the recommended set temperature, so there is a high possibility that the user will change the set temperature many times. Therefore, there is a high possibility that the fourth facility list SL4 appropriately reflects the coolness and warmth felt by the user of the air conditioner 10 . Therefore, the administrator P can accurately recognize the coldness and warmth felt by the user of the air conditioner 10, and can issue an appropriate improvement instruction reflecting the coldness and warmth felt by the user of the air conditioner 10 for each facility 1. .
