Description

  The present invention relates to a comfort condition calculation device and a thermal information display system.

For CO ₂ reduction as global warming, in recent years, in order to promote in consumer products, for example, HEMS (Home Energy Management System) has been proposed. HEMS uses IT technology to control the efficient operation of electrical appliances, etc., and to save energy. In this context, the energy consumption status of the home is displayed to increase energy consumption awareness. Many systems have been proposed that forcibly suppress energy consumption by controlling the operation of electrical appliances.

  As this type, Patent Document 1 discloses an energy-saving support device including a processing device that performs processing according to energy-saving support software and a consumption-by-energy detection device that detects consumption of each energy such as electric power and gas. Has been proposed. When the energy saving support software sets a target consumption value for each energy, it converts it to a light and heat cost, and similarly converts the actual consumption value of each energy detected by the energy consumption detection device to a light and heat cost. Make a comparative evaluation. If the actual light cost exceeds the target light cost and the difference is greater than the first threshold value, a message prompting artificial energy saving efforts such as basin washing at the time of dishwashing is displayed on the display device. If the difference exceeds the second threshold value, an energy-saving forced execution process such as stopping power supply to the television or the like is performed.

The target value for each energy consumption set by the above energy saving support software is set in consideration of the past actual consumption value. When a new energy saving device is introduced, it is calculated by subtracting the energy saving effect. . In addition, the energy saving support device includes a communication device, thereby obtaining weather information from the network, and automatically correcting the target photothermal cost based on the predicted temperature included in the weather information.
JP 2001-101292 A

  However, even if we set numerical targets as in the above-mentioned conventional example and manage energy consumption aiming at these targets, trying to save energy impairs the living environment that should be comfortable originally and imposes patience It is easy to happen, and it makes it difficult to continue energy saving activities. In other words, regarding the setting of the consumption target value described above, the past energy consumption cannot be expected even if the past consumption actual value is simply adopted, and the energy consumption effect is not expected so much. However, if it is lowered appropriately, it will be forced to endure if the decline exceeds the waste of energy, or if the decline cannot be filled by waste reduction. .

  The same problem occurs when the target value is corrected based on the predicted temperature included in the weather information. In other words, such correction of the target value is, for example, changing the target value to the actual consumption value at the same temperature in the past as described above, or how much air conditioning is required according to the predicted temperature. Or the like can be assumed from the set temperature of air conditioning that is generally desirable. However, in the former case, the same problem as described above occurs, and in the latter case, when the set temperature of air conditioning that is generally desirable differs from the resident's preference, the resident has a constitution such as cooling, or the temperature If you feel uncomfortable due to other conditions such as humidity, you must be patient.

  In addition, if the electrical appliances, etc. are forcibly stopped, a case where the resident stops this kind of energy-saving support device itself when the above-mentioned patience cannot be realized is actually seen in the same type of equipment. It has been.

  The present invention has been made to eliminate the above-described drawbacks, and is capable of achieving both comfort and energy saving, and is capable of improving the sustainability of energy saving behavior, and a thermal information display device. The purpose is to provide a system.

According to the present invention, the object is
A sensor 1 comprising a thermohygrometer 1a and the like for measuring indoor thermal environment elements;
An input means 2 for accepting one of the qualitative evaluations classified according to the comfort index as the indoor temperature and temperature evaluation,
The evaluation of the comfort index obtained based on the measured value of the sensor 1 is corrected based on the evaluation input from the input means 2 to generate a specific comfort index, and the comfort judgment criterion in the specific comfort index is calculated backward. This is achieved by providing a comfort condition calculation device having the calculation means 3 for calculating the inherent comfort determination criterion of the indoor thermal environment element.

  According to the present invention, the subjective sensation of the thermal sensation of the resident is obtained via the input means 2, and the arithmetic means 3 corrects the so-called objective thermal evaluation according to the comfort index to be subjective. The unique comfort criteria for determining comfort conditions for the thermal environment unique to the occupant are calculated. By operating or systematically controlling the air conditioner etc. according to this unique comfort judgment standard, it is possible to achieve energy saving by preventing unnecessary energy waste such as heating and cooling while ensuring the comfort of the resident accurately. In addition, since such an operation or control is performed on the premise of maintaining comfortable conditions that match the occupants, the sustainability of such energy saving behavior can be easily achieved.

  That is, according to the present invention, energy saving is realized by preventing conventional energy waste such as excessive operation of an air conditioner that does not accurately reflect the maintenance of the comfort of the occupant, and the sustainability of the activity is It is possible without difficulty by assuming the proper maintenance of the comfort of residents.

  The calculation of the specific comfort determination criterion by the calculation means 3 is performed using a generally known comfort index, and the comfort index is corrected to the specific comfort index based on the evaluation input from the input means 2. Based on. As the comfort index, for example, PMV (Predict Mean Vote) internationally standardized as ISO7730, SET (Standard New Effective Temperature), or the like can be used. Therefore, the thermal environment element to be acquired by the sensor 1 is determined by adding the amount of clothing and metabolism to the four elements of temperature, humidity, radiation, and airflow according to the comfort index to be adopted. If the airflow is a general value based on the open / closed state of the window and the amount of clothing and metabolism is replaced with a general value based on the season, it is possible to save time and trouble of measurement and the like without significantly impairing the accuracy of the index. In addition, radiation can be estimated from the surface temperature of indoor walls and the amount of solar radiation without always measuring it. In this case, for example, instead of hanging a black sphere with a temperature sensor in the center of the room. In addition, it is sufficient to install a thermometer that measures the surface temperature of indoor walls, ceilings, and floors, and a solar radiation meter. In this case, a thermometer for measuring the surface temperature of the wall or the like is added to the sensor 1, and the average value of the surface temperature of the wall or ceiling is calculated as the radiation condition by the calculation means 3, or the radiation is removed by the calculation means 3. Other elements are calculated based on the measured value of the sensor 1, and the comfort index is obtained based on the amount of solar radiation as an outdoor weather element and the indoor thermal environment element that is the measured value of the sensor 1.

  Specifically, for example, in the case of the above-described PMV, the comfort index described above is 0 in the PMV value “None”, ± 1.0 is “a little cold”, “a little hot”, and ± 2.0 “Cold” or “hot” and ± 3.0 are generally associated with qualitative evaluations such as “very cold” or “very hot”. The computing means 3 obtains an evaluation on the comfort index based on the measured value of the indoor thermal environment element by the sensor 1. For example, in the case of PMV, the PMV value is calculated according to an indoor thermal environment element.

  The qualitative evaluation associated with the value in the comfort index is sufficient if it is classified according to the comfort index. For example, the above-mentioned “slightly cold”, “cold”, “very” Instead of classification such as “cold”, it is also possible to replace with classification such as “slightly cool”, “cool”, and “cold”.

  On the other hand, the occupant's subjective temperature sensory thermal evaluation acquired via the input means 2 to correct the evaluation based on the comfort index described above is to maintain the accuracy of the generated inherent comfort index well. Qualitative ones classified according to the comfort index are used. That is, in the case of the above-described PMV, the input unit 2 accepts an input as one of the options such as “None”, “Slightly cold”, “Cold”, “Very hot”, and the like.

  The generation of the inherent comfort index is performed by correcting the evaluation based on the comfort index determined as described above to the thermal sensation of the occupant's sensation. For example, when the PMV value as an evaluation by the comfort index is 0, but the sensation temperature / cool index of the resident input via the input means 2 is “slightly cool”, the original PMV value The inherent comfort index whose setting is changed by replacing 0 by 0 with the PMV value -1 corresponding to “slightly cool” by the calculation means 3 is configured in accordance with the configuration of the PMV except for such evaluation criteria.

  The inherent comfort judgment standard is the index value 0 in the intrinsic comfort index set as described above, in other words, each temperature such as temperature, humidity, radiation, etc. corresponding to the judgment standard regarded as comfortable such as “Neither” It is a complex condition of environmental elements, and is obtained by calculating back a calculation method such as PMV.

  Therefore, according to the present invention, the thermal evaluation in the comfort index determined based on the indoor thermal environment element acquired by the sensor 1 is converted into the thermal sensory thermal evaluation based on the input through the resident input means 2. A unique comfort criterion that reflects comfort for the occupant is generated. This makes it possible to make a judgment on comfort that reflects the occupant's unique preferences and constitution and also reflects not only the temperature but also the humidity. By referring to this unique comfort criteria, it is possible to determine whether air conditioning with air conditioning is excessive, whether dehumidification or ventilation is appropriate, etc., and it is comfortable by preventing waste of energy due to excessive air conditioning Sex can be reliably maintained. In addition, since the comfort is reliably maintained in this way, the sustainability can be improved.

In addition, by using the above comfort condition calculation device,
A sensor 1 composed of a thermohygrometer 1a and the like for measuring indoor thermal environment elements;
An input means 2 for accepting any of the qualitative evaluations classified according to the comfort index as the indoor temperature and temperature evaluation,
The evaluation of the comfort index obtained based on the measured value of the sensor 1 is corrected based on the evaluation input from the input means 2 to generate a specific comfort index, and the comfort judgment criterion in the specific comfort index is calculated backward. And calculating means 3 for calculating the inherent comfort judgment standard of the indoor thermal environment element,
In addition, a thermal information display system having display means 4 for displaying adjustment information for prompting the observer to adjust the indoor thermal environment based on a comparison between the inherent comfort determination criterion by the calculation means 3 and the indoor thermal environment element is configured. Is done.

  That is, in this invention, the resident can observe both the adjustment information of the indoor thermal environment element displayed on the display means 4 and follow it to achieve both comfort and energy saving. The adjustment information is determined by comparing the inherent comfort determination criterion and the indoor thermal environment element. For example, when the indoor temperature or humidity exceeds the inherent comfort determination criterion, “the temperature is high” or “ It can be configured such that the content of the comparison is directly expressed, such as “the humidity is high”, and the adjustment operation is instructed. In addition, it may be sufficient to indirectly remind the observer to adjust the indoor thermal environment element, such as “Let's lower the set temperature of heating” or “Let's stop dehumidification”.

  In this way, the necessity of adjustment of the indoor thermal environment element is communicated to the observer by display, and the adjustment operation by the observer is encouraged, so that the option of not following the adjustment guide can be left for the observer, that is, the resident. . Therefore, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of inconsistencies that cannot be adjusted with residents due to the forced control of the air conditioner, and to improve the sustainability of system operation by leaving room for adjustments in the residents. it can. Even in this case, since the resident is instructed to waste energy through the display, energy consciousness can be raised.

  Furthermore, both comfort and energy saving can be achieved by using a curtain or the like to cut the solar radiation to increase the cooling efficiency when the sunlight is strong, such as in summer. Appropriate usage of buildings, which have become increasingly complex in recent years, is difficult to fully understand, especially when new occupants and young residents who do not know how to use buildings.

In this case, about the above thermal information display system,
An outdoor sensor 5 comprising a thermohygrometer 5a and the like for measuring outdoor weather elements;
Storage means 6 for storing comfort conditions of the indoor thermal environment at the time of operation of the joinery and the like for outdoor weather elements based on the input from the input means 2;
If the calculation means 3 is configured to display on the display means 4 a message prompting the user to operate the fittings or the like as adjustment information when the weather element satisfies the comfort condition, the calculation means 3 can be used effectively and comfortably. Can be pursued well.

  Meteorological elements measured by the outdoor sensor 5 can include not only outdoor temperature, humidity, and amount of solar radiation but also wind direction, wind speed, precipitation, solar altitude, solar direction, and the like. The storage means 6 stores conditions for outdoor weather elements that can make the indoor thermal environment comfortable, and the calculation means 3 determines whether the weather elements satisfy the conditions.

  Comfortable indoor thermal environment by using outdoor weather elements can be realized by occupants opening and closing curtains, opening and closing windows, and watering as shown in FIG. Yes, the conditions of the meteorological factors are determined on the premise of the operation of such joinery and the extent of the effect of improving the indoor thermal environment. In particular, the degree of improvement of the indoor thermal environment described above is greatly influenced by the building specifications and location conditions. For example, the area and orientation of windows, curtains, blinds, or shoji screens installed as window accessories. Solar radiation shielding coefficient, radiation shielding coefficient, convection shielding coefficient, thermal slow flow rate, etc., based on a well-known calculation formula, the solar radiation shielding rate obtained by combining calculation, where the site where water can be flooded is located It is desirable to determine the conditions of the meteorological factors by considering what the ground finish is such as asphalt or soil.

  Specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 8, it is possible to use the curtain as a condition for the amount of solar radiation, and when opening the window, the quantity for a specific weather element such as the wind speed and the wind direction can be used as a condition. Then, it is sequentially determined whether or not these conditions are satisfied, and the display contents of the display means 4 are determined. The display contents can be determined in one-to-one correspondence with the conditions to be satisfied by associating with the conditions of the weather elements as shown in FIG. Also, as shown in FIG. 8, it is possible to set conditions including the season.

  In particular, in recent years, for buildings where the airtightness performance has improved significantly and it is difficult to notice changes in meteorological elements when indoors, the outdoor sensor 5 grasps the weather conditions and reflects them in the display, resulting in extremely high energy savings. The effect can be demonstrated.

  In addition, instead of the above-described building specifications and the like, it is also possible to accumulate the sensory temperature / temperature evaluation input when operating the joinery and the like, and determine the weather conditions based on this accumulation. This accumulation may be stored in the storage means 6 as a test operation result, and in this case, the resident's preference for taking in solar radiation and the like can be reflected in the display determination.

Furthermore, the operation of joinery, etc. as described above may or may not be accepted depending on the balance between the resident's energy conservation awareness and the effort required to operate the joinery, etc. The desired effect cannot be obtained, and the sustainability of energy-saving behavior can be hindered. in this case,
The input means 2 is formed so as to be able to input permission or refusal of execution of operations such as joinery displayed on the display means 4,
The calculation means 3 can avoid such a problem by configuring the calculation means 3 so as to reduce the weight related to the subsequent display of the message for prompting the operation of the joinery or the like when the allowance input is not performed.

  In other words, in the present invention, the calculation means 3 considers the resident's behavior tendency and selects an operation message of a specific joinery or the like having a high room for acceptance by the resident, and displays it intensively. The rating of operation messages for joinery etc. according to such behavioral propensity can be configured to gradually improve and grow according to the degree of execution of the joinery etc. operation by the resident. Energy saving effect can be further enhanced by the elements. By displaying operation messages such as fittings that require a relatively large amount of labor only for residents who have a large room for acceptance, it is possible to prevent a decrease in interest in the display of residents due to continued display unacceptable to residents. , Making it easier to learn the habit of taking action according to the display.

In addition, it has energy consumption measuring means 7 for measuring consumption data by energy such as electric power and gas,
The calculation means 3 is used for the consumption data of the specific energy measured by the energy consumption measurement means 7 rather than the general value of the consumption data for each energy input via the input means 2 and stored in the storage means 6. When the measured value is large, or consumption data of specific energy measured by the energy consumption measuring unit 7 than the actual value of consumption data for each energy measured by the measuring unit and stored in the storage unit 6 in the past. In the case where the measured value is large, if the saving information related to the specific energy is displayed on the display means 4, the resident can be informed of the tendency of wasting, and the energy saving awareness is effectively raised. Energy saving effect.

  As the saving information displayed on the display means 4, for example, in addition to direct contents such as “Let's save power” when power consumption is conspicuous, “Let's turn off the power of unused home appliances” It is also possible to use advice on daily life that leads to energy saving peculiar to the energy concerned. In this case, as shown in FIG. 7, the advice content can be determined by associating the eco-target item with the above-described advice content.

  In addition, as shown in the figure, if the advice content is determined in relation to the energy consumption of a specific home appliance, the resident can be specifically encouraged to save energy. The accuracy can be further improved on the condition. Further, if the resident is allowed to execute the advice, the input means 2 is requested to input it, and if there is an input to execute, or if there is no input, the content of subsequent advice is changed, or as described above. In addition, the advice content can be gradually increased according to the execution degree of the advice.

As apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, it is possible to achieve both comfortableness and energy saving property, in order to be able to improve the sustainability of energy saving action, global through CO ₂ reduction by this Can maintain and improve the living environment.

  1 to 14 show an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment shows an example in which a thermal information display system is introduced to all the houses of an apartment house, and each house has a two-story structure with a garden. The thermal information display system includes an indoor sensor (sensor 1) that measures the indoor temperature, relative humidity, and globe temperature of each door, a touch panel monitor 2a that constitutes input means 2 from a resident in each door, and the indoor A computer system that includes an indoor condition calculation unit 3a in the calculation means 3 that calculates a PMV according to an input of a measurement value from the sensor 1 and generates a specific comfort index according to an input of the occupant's body temperature and temperature evaluation from the monitor 2a. 11, and the indoor condition calculation unit 3 a calculates an inherent comfort determination criterion for an indoor thermal environment element based on the inherent comfort index. The computer system 11 includes a client 11a connected to the indoor sensor 1 and the monitor 2a of each door, and a server 11b connected to the client 11a. The indoor sensor 1 and the monitor are connected via the client 11a. In accordance with the information obtained from 2a, the server 11b calculates the unique comfort judgment criteria for all the houses.

  The indoor sensor 1 is composed of a thermohygrometer 1a and a glove thermometer 1b as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3A, and is suitable for measuring the thermal environment in each door in consideration of the floor plan. Installed in a different position. In this embodiment, the temperature and humidity and the globe temperature are measured at the white circle points shown in the floor plan of FIG. 3A, and only the temperature is measured at the black circle points. In addition, only the temperature under the floor is measured at the kitchen and entrance of the black circle. In FIG. 1, 12 is a data logger that captures and records measured values from the thermohygrometer 1a and the like and outputs them to the client 11a. In FIG. 3A, 13 is an opening such as a window, and 14 is Stairs, 15 is the entrance, 16 is the kitchen, 17 is the veranda.

  The monitor 2a is installed in, for example, a living room in each door, and displays a question about the comfort of the thermal environment in the door and an option button for answering this question, as shown in FIG. An input is received by a touch sensor when touched by a person. As shown in the figure, the buttons corresponding to stepwise sensory thermal evaluations such as “cold”, “slightly cold”, and “comfortable!” As shown in the figure indicate the degree of thermal sensation experienced by the resident. Information can be acquired. The above-described display of the question and option buttons is realized by the drawing unit 3b of the computer system 11 by a program for displaying them (not shown) stored in the storage means 6 described later.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the computer system 11 is arranged in an outdoor cabinet 18 of an apartment house, and the indoor condition calculation unit 3a of the server 11b includes a comfort index calculation unit 19 that calculates PMV, and the calculated PMV. It has a specific comfort index calculation unit 20 that calculates a specific comfort index corrected by the sensation of the sensible temperature and heat of the occupant, and a specific comfort determination standard calculation unit 21 that calculates a specific comfort determination standard from the specific comfort index. The comfort index calculation unit 19 calculates the PMV value by applying the temperature measured by the indoor sensor 1 and input via the data logger 12 and the client 11a to the PMV calculation formula. For example, the amount of clothing that is not measured is set to a general value such as 0.5 in summer, and the metabolic rate is set to 1 similarly. Such a general value is input as an initial setting value in the calculation formula of the comfort index calculation unit 19 via the keyboard and mouse 2b of the server 11b. The airflow is also set to a general value on the assumption that the window is closed.

  The intrinsic comfort index calculation unit 20 compares the PMV value calculated by the above-described comfort index calculation unit 19 with the body temperature / heat evaluation input from the option button. For example, when the body temperature / heat evaluation is “slightly cold”, In some cases, an intrinsic comfort index configured by correcting PMV in this way is calculated by adding or subtracting to the PMV calculation formula so that the value of the corresponding thermal environment element is −1. . In addition, the specific comfort determination criterion calculation unit 21 calculates a combined condition of temperature and humidity and glove temperature corresponding to the comfort standard in such a specific comfort index as a specific comfort determination standard. A composite condition such as temperature and humidity when it becomes 0 is obtained by calculating back the PMV. In this embodiment, the composite condition is further subdivided, and the composite condition of humidity and glove temperature and the temperature condition uniquely determined corresponding to the composite condition are calculated in association with each other.

  In order to make the occupants comfortable by adjusting the indoor thermal environment according to the intrinsic comfort criteria calculated as described above, the above-mentioned storage means 6 of the server 11b has a monitor 4 (2a that also functions as the display means 4). ), A display condition storage unit 6a for storing conditions for determining display content, and a display information storage unit 6b for storing information on the display content itself. The display condition storage unit 6a is formed with a unique comfort determination criterion storage unit 23 for storing the above-described inherent comfort determination criterion, and the display information storage unit 6b stores adjustment information for prompting an adjustment operation of the thermal environment element. A thermal adjustment message table 24 is formed. Further, in order to display the information stored in the display information storage unit 6b on the monitor 4 (2a) based on the conditions stored in the display condition storage unit 6a described above, the calculation unit 3 described above includes a display condition calculation unit. 3c is formed, and the display condition calculation unit 3c is formed with a thermal comparison unit 25 that compares the inherent comfort determination criterion with the indoor thermal environment element.

  As described above, the unique comfort determination criterion storage unit 23 stores the combined condition of humidity and glove temperature and the temperature condition uniquely determined corresponding to the combined condition. A comfortable temperature corresponding to the conditions of humidity and glove temperature input from the sensor 1 can be searched. The temperature adjustment message table 24 includes a message such as “Let's lower the set temperature for heating” corresponding to when the temperature should be lowered, and “Let's raise the set temperature for cooling” corresponding to when the temperature should be raised. Are stored in association with conditions such as temperature rise and temperature fall.

  The temperature comparison unit 25 refers to the above-described inherent comfort determination criterion storage unit 23 according to the humidity and the glove temperature acquired by the indoor sensor 1, refers to the temperature conditions obtained as satisfying the inherent comfort determination criterion, and the indoor sensor 1 The actual temperature of the dwelling unit acquired by the above is compared, and based on the comparison result, a message corresponding to any of the conditions such as temperature rise and temperature fall in the thermal adjustment message table 24 is displayed on the monitor 4 (2a). Specifically, when the actual temperature is higher than the temperature condition in the unique comfort determination criterion storage unit 23, a message such as “Let's lower the heating set temperature” to lower the temperature and ensure comfort. In the opposite case, a message such as “Let's raise the set temperature for cooling” is displayed on the monitor 4 (2a). In this case, it is more reliable if the temperature comparison unit 25 acquires the difference due to the temperature comparison as a numerical value and displays on the monitor 4 (2a) how much the set temperature of the air conditioner should be changed. Can maintain a good thermal environment.

  In addition, the thermal information display system described above includes an outdoor sensor 5 that measures an outdoor weather element in order to further improve energy saving by using the weather element, and the display condition storage unit 6a described above includes an outdoor sensor. A comfort condition storage unit 26 for storing a comfort condition as a condition for comforting the indoor thermal environment regarding the weather element is formed, and the display information storage unit 6b described above is associated with the comfort condition. An operation message table 27 such as a joinery for storing operation messages such as, etc. is formed, and a weather element condition comparison unit 28 for comparing the weather element and the comfortable realization condition is formed in the display condition calculation unit 3c described above. . As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the outdoor sensor 5 includes a temperature / humidity meter 5a, a solar radiation meter 5b, a wind speed / air direction meter 5c, and a rain gauge 5d, and is appropriately located near a dwelling unit with good sunlight and good ventilation. And is connected to the server 11b via a wireless communication means so as to be able to output measured values of the thermohygrometer 1a and the like.

  The comfort condition storage unit 26 stores the comfort conditions for the indoor thermal environment of the weather elements based on the specifications of the dwelling units and the location conditions, and specific weather elements such as the temperature for each comfort condition, which should be satisfied Conditions are associated with each other. These comfort conditions are calculated in advance and inputted to the server 11b via the keyboard 2b. Specifically, for example, the dwelling unit having the floor plan shown in FIG. 2 as described above is shown in FIG. As described above, under comfort conditions where it is judged that indoor thermal environment elements can be brought closer to the inherent comfort criteria by using curtains and blinds, the solar radiation amount (Rs) is the maximum of the monthly solar radiation amount in each time zone. It is stored that it is 70% or more of the value. Further, in this embodiment, in addition to the above meteorological element conditions, it is a summer condition such as July or August, an energy saving grade condition described later, and an energy saving effect. The eco target that specifies the energy type is also stored in association with each comfort condition.

  The operation message table 27 such as joinery stores an operation message such as joinery in association with each comfort condition of the comfort condition storage unit 26. Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, for comfort conditions that have been determined that indoor thermal environment elements can be brought closer to the inherent comfort criteria by using curtains or blinds, An operation message such as a fitting such as “Let's use curtains and blinds because the sunlight is strong,” is stored correspondingly.

  The weather element condition comparison unit 28 sequentially compares the comfort conditions in the comfort condition storage unit 26 with the measurement values of the outdoor sensor 5, and determines that the measurement values of the outdoor sensor 5 satisfy the comfort conditions. In such a case, the operation message table 27 such as joinery is referred to, and an operation message such as joinery corresponding to the comfort condition is displayed on the monitor 4 (2a). Further, when the comfort condition includes a time condition as described above, the comparison process is performed including this condition. This temporal condition is determined by a clock function such as the server 11b.

  Further, the weather element condition comparison unit 28 monitors the selection buttons such as “execute” and “do not execute” as shown in FIG. 2a). The input from the resident by this option button is detected and identified by the execution level calculation unit 29 of the display condition calculation unit 3c.

  The execution level calculation unit 29 determines and manages the above-mentioned energy saving grade, which is a rating of the resident's behavior tendency, that is, energy saving awareness, according to the accumulation of such input. Each time the input from the above-described option button is detected, for example, the energy saving grade stored as a numerical value in the formed behavior tendency accumulation unit 30 is added or subtracted according to the input content. In other words, the input of “execute” can be regarded as a high energy consciousness of residents, and the input of “do not execute” can be regarded as low. be able to.

  Although this energy saving grade is omitted in FIG. 8, it is stored in the comfort condition storage unit 26 as described above, and is stored in the monitor 4 (2a) so as to be included in the comparison processing target of the weather element condition comparison unit 28. Serves as the message to be displayed. That is, the operation advice for the resident is determined to be relatively unacceptable troublesome or easy to accept, and according to this, the message of the operation message table 27 of the joinery, That is, it is selected whether to make the operation target fitting relatively unacceptable. This energy saving grade is appropriately determined in consideration of the general trouble of operating the corresponding joinery and the like.

  Residents are therefore managed according to their energy-saving grades and are not required to perform difficult energy-saving behaviors before their energy-consciousness has improved so much. be able to. Thus, by changing and advancing the energy saving behavior according to the consciousness of the resident, it is possible to arouse the desire to display different energy saving behaviors and better energy saving behaviors.

  Further, the thermal display system described above includes energy consumption measuring means 7 for measuring the energy consumption amount of each house in order to inform the occupants of the energy consumption status in the same manner as the conventional example described above, and the energy acquired thereby. An energy consumption accumulation unit 31 that accumulates consumption data is provided. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the energy consumption measuring means 7 is provided corresponding to each of electric power, gas, and water, and includes a power recorder 7a, an automatic gas meter reading device 7b, and an automatic water meter reading device 7c. . This energy consumption measuring means 7 is connected to the server 11b, outputs the measured value to the server 11b at regular intervals, is taken into the storage means 6 of the server 11b, and is stored daily in the energy consumption accumulation unit 31 together with date data. . Similarly, the temperature data input from the indoor sensor 1 described above is also stored together with the date data in the thermal environment storage unit 32 formed in the storage unit 6.

  As shown in FIG. 3 (b), these accumulated data are input from option buttons of “power monitor 2”, “room temperature monitor 2”, and “gas / water supply monitor 2” displayed on the monitor 4 (2a). Thus, the drawing unit 3b captures and displays the measured value data at the most recent time from the energy consumption accumulation unit 31 or the thermal environment accumulation unit 32. As described above, depending on the temperature / humidity meter 1a installed at a plurality of locations and the outlets provided at a plurality of locations of the dwelling unit, the data is taken in and stored at each installation location. Each outlet is connected to the server 11b via the distribution board 35 and the power recorder 7a via the stand 34.

For example, in the case of the input of “room temperature monitor 2”, display is performed for each measurement location as shown in FIG. 4B, and the power is displayed for each outlet 33 as shown in FIG. 6A. In addition, these accumulated data are displayed on the monitor 4 (2a) after being converted into a CO ₂ display like a table calculation made by a general spreadsheet software, converted into a graph by the conversion unit 37, or like an environmental household account book. Be made possible. When the spreadsheet / converter 37 receives an input from the above-mentioned option button of the “gas / water monitor 2” and further receives an input to an option button such as “gas graph” displayed by the drawing unit 3b. Then, a table calculation process or the like is performed, and a graph or the like showing a transition of gas consumption is displayed on the monitor 4 (2a).

  When receiving the input such as “room temperature monitor 2” described above, the drawing unit 3b also displays an “eco” option button as shown in FIG. 6B. The input of the “eco” button corresponds to the display of the energy saving grade described above by the drawing unit 3b. The drawing unit 3b refers to the behavior tendency accumulation unit 30 and displays the stored numerical value as the current eco point.

  Moreover, the general energy consumption data file 38 which memorize | stores general energy consumption is formed in the display condition memory | storage part 6a mentioned above, This general energy consumption and the above-mentioned energy consumption are stored in the display condition calculating part 3c. An energy consumption comparison unit 39 that compares the stored data of the energy consumption storage unit 31 is formed. The general energy consumption data file 38 is formed by inputting general values to the server 11b via the keyboard 2a or the like. Is stored, for example, in units of one day.

  The energy consumption comparison unit 39 includes the actual energy consumption stored in the energy consumption storage unit 31 described above, and the energy consumption that is considered to be general stored in the general energy consumption data file 38. If the actual consumption exceeds a value that seems to be general, information that prompts saving of the energy is displayed on the monitor 4 (2a) as a waste state. The energy saving information for each energy is stored in the energy saving advice table 40 formed in the display information storage unit 6b.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the energy saving advice table 40 stores one-to-one correspondence between energy saving advice for each energy and eco targets that are energy categories to be saved. For example, the eco target “electric power” and the advice regarding energy saving of electric power “let's check if there is no lighting in a room without people” are stored correspondingly. Further, the energy consumption comparison unit 39 also displays on the monitor 4 (2a) option buttons for “execute” and “do not execute” as shown in FIG. 6A together with advice. This input is detected by the execution level calculation unit 29 described above, and is reflected in the behavior tendency accumulation unit 30 as an energy saving grade.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the season is also provided for each advice as an advice determination factor in the energy saving advice table 40, and as a result of comparison by the energy consumption comparison unit 39, many advices satisfy the conditions. The advice to be displayed is determined at random. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the advice is also provided with a classification of equipment and the like that are energy-saving by the advice, and as described above, using the distribution board 35 to acquire energy consumption for each equipment, It is also possible to accumulate energy consumption in the energy consumption accumulation unit 31 and compare it with energy consumption that seems to be general for each device, and to select advice displayed on the monitor 4 (2a) for each device. It is.

  The eco-objects described above are set in a one-to-one correspondence with the messages in the operation message table 27 such as joinery shown in FIG. 8, and based on this, the behavior tendency accumulation unit 30 sets an energy-saving grade for each eco-object. By accumulating and counting, the energy saving grade for each eco target can be obtained. Further, the obtained energy saving grade for each eco target is appropriately determined based on the numerical value as needing energy saving efforts of the eco target, and advice classified as the eco target in the energy saving advice table 40 is displayed on the monitor 4 (2a). It can also be displayed irregularly.

  Furthermore, in the above description, the case where the actual consumption exceeds the value that seems to be general is described as the condition for displaying the information for promoting energy saving on the monitor 4 (2a). The amount can be determined based on, for example, a monthly or yearly total. Moreover, about grasping | ascertaining the amount exceeding, it is not restricted to 1W unit or more, For example, an appropriate threshold value, such as 10W unit or more, can be provided. In this case, the energy consumption comparison unit 39 aggregates the daily energy consumption accumulated in the energy consumption accumulation unit 31 into monthly units, etc., and the general energy consumption data file 38 includes general monthly units. It ’s enough to store the energy consumption. Even when it is determined in a certain period or when it is determined that the threshold value is not reached, an increase tendency can be determined by shortening the unit of the period to a day unit or lowering the threshold value. Such an increasing tendency can be confirmed by comparing the monthly unit together with the above-mentioned monthly unit in the energy consumption comparison unit 39, and also in this case, by displaying the energy-saving advice of the eco target, The effect can be improved efficiently.

  Further, the drawing unit 3b described above detects an input from the option button such as the “power monitor” described above for the energy saving advice as illustrated in FIG. 7 at regular intervals as illustrated in FIG. 3B. Is displayed at random. This energy-saving advice functions as a way to cultivate energy-saving consciousness.

  Further, in order to increase the friendliness of various option buttons and advice display as described above, the display information storage unit 6b described above stores a three-dimensional model file 41, and reads from the file 41. The rendered computer graphic is displayed as a background such as a choice button by the drawing unit 3b. As shown in FIG. 3 (b) and FIGS. 4 to 6, the building and the resident living there are also stored for each 3D image model, and depending on the display screen or randomly by the drawing unit 3b described above. Furthermore, it is displayed on the monitor 4 (2a) according to the energy saving grade. The above three-dimensional model file 41 and drawing software relating to this display are configured in the client 11a.

  Also, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3B, images representing the windsock and the exterior of the building are set on the initial screen and the main screen, and when returning from the so-called sleep mode for power saving. Always displayed. The windsock is displayed by changing the direction and angle according to the wind direction and the air volume acquired by the outdoor sensor 5 described above. Furthermore, on any screen, date information and time information, the latest data acquired by the indoor sensor 1 or the outdoor sensor 5, and the power consumption acquired by the power recorder are displayed so that they can be quickly grasped.

  In addition, in order to inform the above-mentioned energy saving class in an easy-to-understand manner, as shown in FIG. 4 (a), the image of the resident who occasionally appears on the screen is changed according to the energy saving class, and FIG. 6 (a). As shown in FIG. 5, when the energy saving grade is increased, the “point up!” Display for informing this is performed by the drawing unit 3b. Further, by pressing an “eco” option button, the current image of the resident, an eco level as an energy saving grade, and the like can be displayed.

  A flowchart from the acquisition of the thermal environment element by the outdoor sensor 5 described above to the display of a message relating to the adjustment information prompting the adjustment operation of the thermal environment element on the monitor 4 (2a) will be described below with reference to FIGS. To do. As shown in FIG. 9, data such as indoor temperature is acquired from the indoor sensor 1 (S1). The indoor condition calculation unit 3a first calculates a comfort index based on PMV by the comfort index calculation unit 19 (S2). Above, the PMV obtained by the calculation is corrected based on the input from the option button such as “cold” to calculate the intrinsic comfort index (S3), and then the calculation formula of PMV is calculated back to calculate the intrinsic comfort. Judgment criteria are calculated (S4). Next, the unique comfort determination criterion and the temperature acquired by the indoor sensor 1 are compared (S5). If the indoor temperature is not within the predetermined comfort range, the temperature acquired by the outdoor sensor 5 is the comfort condition. One of the comfort conditions stored in the storage unit 26 is sequentially compared and examined (S6). If none of the conditions is satisfied, a display such as lowering the set temperature for heating is performed (S7-). 1).

  If it is confirmed that one of the comfort conditions is satisfied as a result of the comparison, as shown in FIG. 10, the comfort condition storage unit 26 and the action for the operation message of the fitting corresponding to the comfort condition are displayed. The energy saving grades of the propensity accumulating unit 30 are compared (S7-2), and an operation message such as a fitting satisfying the energy saving grade required as the comfort condition is displayed on the monitor 4 (2a) (S8). At this time, “execute” and “do not execute” option buttons are also displayed. The acceptance of the input to the option button is closed after a predetermined time such as 30 seconds, for example, and it is considered that the input “do not execute” is made when there is no input within the predetermined period (S9). In this way, when the input “do not execute” is made (S10), the execution level calculator 29 decrements the energy saving grade, for example, by −1, and in the case of the input “execute”, +1 (S11), As a result, the above series of processing ends. The monitor 4 (2a) is turned off when a series of processing ends and the resident does not touch the monitor 4 (2a) for a predetermined time such as 1 minute, and the client 11a also shifts to the sleep mode. .

  Further, FIG. 11 shows details of accepting an input using the above-described option button such as “cold” and calculating a specific comfort determination criterion based on the input. The process of accepting the sensation temperature / heat evaluation of the resident such as “cold” is performed on the condition that the resident does not touch the monitor 4 (2a) on the main screen for a predetermined time such as 15 seconds (S20). The selection button is displayed (21). When the input from the “hot” option button is accepted (S22), the corresponding PMV value is +2, “+1” for “slightly hot”, 0 for “comfortable!”, −1 for “slightly cold”, and −2 for “cold” In this way, the PMV calculation formula calculated by the comfort index calculation unit 19 based on the measured value of the indoor sensor 1 is further added or divided to generate the specific comfort index calculation formula (S23-1). ). If the input cannot be accepted (S23-2), the previous inherent comfort index or the like is maintained.

  As for this inherent comfort index, 0 indicates that comfort is the same as PMV, and in this embodiment, the inherent comfort criterion is such that comfort is achieved when the PMV value is within ± 1 which is said to be equivalent to the unsatisfactory rate of 25% in PMV. A comfortable value range is set in the calculation unit 21 via the keyboard 2b or the like. The intrinsic comfort index calculation unit 20 calculates the minimum and maximum temperature conditions that are ± 1 in the intrinsic comfort index on the assumption of the humidity and glove temperature acquired by the indoor sensor 1, and this range. Is stored in the above-described inherent comfort determination criterion storage unit 23 as a comfort range in the inherent comfort determination criterion.

  Further, FIG. 12 and FIG. 13 show a series of processes related to the display of the energy saving advice based on the energy consumption described above. This process is also started on the condition that the resident does not touch the monitor 4 (2a) for a predetermined time such as 15 seconds (S30) on the main screen as described above. Note that this process and the above-described calculation process of the specific comfort determination criterion are set on the condition that, for example, the main screen is changed at a predetermined rate such as alternating from the main screen, or a predetermined time has passed since the previous process. It is possible to set to shift to.

  At the start of the process, the energy consumption comparison unit 39 firstly stores the energy consumption data for each energy acquired by the energy consumption measuring means 7 and the general energy for each energy stored in the general energy consumption data file 38. A comparison is made with the data representing the standard consumption amount for each energy (S31). The energy consumption data is stored in the energy consumption storage unit 31 on a daily basis, for example, and the above-described general consumption reference amount is also stored in the general energy consumption data file 38 on a daily basis, for example. The consumption amount comparison unit 39 can compare the magnitudes, for example, on a daily basis. In addition, the energy consumption comparison unit 39 can compare, for example, daily energy consumption data consisting of the latest three days with the energy consumption data of the previous day.

  As a result of the comparison (S32), it cannot be said that the situation where the energy consumption data is not larger than the data representing the general consumption standard amount or exceeds the previous day's energy consumption data for three consecutive days. That is, when the predetermined increase tendency is not recognized, the fact that the specific energy is wasted is not recognized. Next, for the energy saving grade, for each eco target in the behavior tendency accumulation unit 30, that is, for each energy type. A comparison process is performed as to whether a predetermined threshold is satisfied (S33).

  The energy consumption amount comparing unit 39 is input with the keyboard 2b of the server 11b, for example, and a predetermined threshold set in the energy consumption amount comparing unit 39, and the energy saving accumulated in the behavior tendency accumulation unit 30 for each eco target. Compare the grade. As a result of the comparison (S34), when it is not possible to confirm that the energy saving grade is below the predetermined threshold, it is determined that the specific eco target for which improvement of the execution degree is to be found is not found and the energy saving advice in the energy saving advice table 40 is The display on the monitor 4 (2a) is made random (S35).

  Contrary to the above processing, first, in the comparison of the above-mentioned energy consumption data, when it is recognized that it exceeds the general consumption standard amount or is in a predetermined increasing trend, FIG. As shown, energy saving advice in the energy saving advice table 40 is narrowed down using the specific eco target, that is, a specific energy type as a search condition, and is displayed on the display means 4 (S36). This display prompts the resident to improve waste for a specific energy type that is increasing.

  Next, in the comparison of the energy saving grades described above, when a specific eco target that is below the threshold value is obtained, similarly, as shown in FIG. The energy saving advice in the table 40 is narrowed down and displayed on the display means 4 (S37). This display makes it possible to improve wastefulness for a specific energy type with low energy conservation awareness.

  In addition, when the energy saving advice is narrowed down and displayed using the specific energy as a search condition as described above, it is determined that it is essential to improve waste and energy conservation awareness for this specific energy. "And" Do not execute "option buttons are displayed together. By receiving one of these selection buttons (S38, S39), the energy saving grade for the specific eco-object in question fluctuates and is corrected to suit the resident (S40-1, S40-2).

  In addition, although the case where the computer system 11 was comprised by the server 11b and the client 11a for the process of the whole apartment complex was shown above, when there is processing capacity, it is possible to comprise by a single computer. Moreover, although the actual measured value was not acquired with the indoor sensor 1 about the airflow etc., the case where the general value was substituted was shown, but the reliability of the comfort index is improved by calculating based on these measured values. be able to. Furthermore, the monitor 4 (2a) shows a case where only the temperature is calculated as the adjustment information of the thermal environment, but it is also possible to include the humidity, etc. In this case, the dehumidifying operation of the air conditioner is included as the adjustment information. can do.
