  Next, the usage method and operation | movement of the installation driving assistance system 10 are demonstrated. When the facility operation support system 10 is activated, the CPU 21 first displays a screen represented by the plan input screen IM1 shown in FIG. 6 on the display unit 70a of each input terminal 71 to 73 to display each employee. The employee is prompted to input information related to the operation plan described above.

  FIG. 6 shows, as an example, a plan input screen IM1 displayed on the display unit 70a of the input terminal 71 installed in the space SP1. The employee residing in the space SP1 checks the check box on the plan input screen IM1 or selects a desired numerical value from the pull-down menu. Next, by pressing the button BT1 constituting the plan input screen IM1, information related to the operation plan of each device constituting the electrical equipment 31 can be input to the equipment operation support apparatus 20.

  As can be seen from the plan input screen IM1, the information regarding the operation plan is information regarding the necessity of using the multifunction devices 80a to 80d, information regarding the necessity of operation of the air conditioners 82a to 82g, and the air conditioners 82a to 82g. Information on the desired set temperature, information on whether the lighting devices 84a to 84g are automatically operated or manually operated, information on the start and end of automatic operation, and the like.

  CPU21 will display the screen for inputting the information regarding a work style on the display part 70a of each input terminal 71-73, if the information regarding an operation plan is input from each input terminal 71-73.

  FIG. 7 shows a work style input screen IM2 displayed on the display unit 70a of the input terminal 71 as an example. The employee residing in the space SP1 selects a desired numerical value from the pull-down menu of the work style input screen IM2, and presses the button BT1 constituting the work style input screen IM2, so that information on the work style is supported for facility operation. Input to the device 20 is possible.

  As can be understood by referring to the work style input screen IM2, the information related to the work style includes information related to employee working hours, information related to lunch breaks, information related to breaks, and the like.

  CPU21 can compare the information regarding each user's work style on the display part 70a of each input terminal 71-73, if the information regarding an operation plan and the information regarding a work style are input from each input terminal 71-73. To display.

  FIG. 8 shows a work style display screen IM3 displayed on the display unit 70a of the input terminal 71 as an example. The employee residing in the space SP1 can compare his / her work style with the work styles of other employees via the work style display screen IM3.

  Further, the CPU 21 compares information on the work style with each other, and identifies an employee having a specific work style that has little commonness with the work styles of other employees. And I propose a work style improvement plan to this employee. For example, as shown in the work style display screen IM3 of FIG. 8, the staying time of the employee 5 is not overlapped with the staying time of other employees in the time zone from 17:30 to 20:00. On the other hand, the stay time of each of the employees 1 to 5 overlaps with the stay time of any employee. In this case, the CPU 21 presents a work style improvement plan to the employee 5. As an improvement plan, it is conceivable to calculate an average value of the start time and end time of other users' working hours and present the working hours specified by the average value.

  Further, as shown in the work style display screen IM3 of FIG. 8, for the employee 2 having a work style in which the rest time does not overlap with the rest time of other employees, the start time and end time of the rest time are It may be possible to present a break time that coincides with the start time and end time of the break time of other employees.

  Next, CPU21 totals the information regarding the operation plan about the apparatus which comprises each electric equipment 31-36. And the presence or absence of use of the apparatus which comprises each electric equipment 31-36, an operating condition, etc. are determined in consideration of the information regarding the work style of many employees.

  These items may be determined based on information that occupies a majority of the information input by the employee. For example, for a device such as the multi-function device 80a shown in FIG. 6, the CPU 21 compares the number of employees who checked the use check box with the number of employees who checked the non-use check box. If the number of employees who check the use check box is larger, it is decided to use the multifunction device 80a or the like. If the number of employees who have checked the unused check box is larger, it is determined not to use the multifunction device 80a or the like. For the set temperature of the equipment such as the air conditioner 82a, the set temperature value selected by the most employees is determined as the set temperature of the equipment. In addition, regarding the time zone in which the automatic operation of the device such as the lighting device 84a is performed, the start value and the end value selected by the most employees are determined as the start time and end time of the time zone in which automatic operation is performed, respectively. To do.

  CPU21 will display these contents on the display part 70a of each input terminal 71-73, if the above-mentioned matter is determined about the apparatus which comprises each electric equipment 31-36.

  FIG. 9 shows, as an example, a plan display screen IM4 displayed on the display unit 70a of the input terminal 71 installed in the space SP1. Employees residing in the space SP1 use the plan display screen IM4 shown in FIG. The contents can be confirmed. Specifically, the employee can confirm whether or not the MFPs 80a to 80d are the targets of driving. Moreover, about the air conditioners 82a-82g, it can be confirmed whether these set temperature and whether it is the object of a driving | operation. Moreover, about the illuminating devices 84a-84g, it can confirm whether the driving | operation mode is an automatic driving | operation or a manual driving | operation, and when it is an automatic driving | operation, it can confirm the time slot | zone which carries out an automatic driving | operation. it can.

  The employee can approve the content displayed on the plan display screen IM4 (hereinafter also referred to as a plan plan) by pressing the button BT2 constituting the plan display screen IM4. Moreover, the content displayed on the plan display screen IM4 can be rejected by pressing the button BT3 constituting the plan display screen IM4.

  For example, when the plan is rejected by a majority of employees, the CPU 21 notifies the employees via the display units 70a of the input terminals 71 to 73 to that effect. Then, again, a screen represented by the plan input screen IM1 shown in FIG. 6 is displayed on the display unit 70a of each of the input terminals 71 to 73, and each employee is input information regarding the operation plan described above. Prompt.

  On the other hand, when the plan plan is approved by, for example, a majority of employees, the CPU 21 determines each electric facility based on the approved plan plan (hereinafter simply referred to as the operation plan) for the operation units 51 to 56. An instruction is made to drive the devices constituting 31-36. Thereby, the apparatus which comprises each electric equipment 31-36 is drive | operated according to an operation plan.

  Further, in the facility operation support system 10, the devices constituting the respective electrical facilities 31 to 36 are consumed by the respective devices by the respective measurement units 61 to 66 while the operation is performed according to the operation plan. The power and the operation rate of each device are measured. Moreover, the temperature of each work area A1-A3 and common area B1-B3 is measured.

  For example, for the work area A1, the power consumed by the multi-function devices 80a to 80d installed in the space SP1 and the operation rate are measured by the measuring unit 61. Moreover, the power consumed by the air conditioners 82a to 82g and the lighting devices 84a to 84g installed in the spaces SP1 to SP4 is measured by the measurement unit 61. Furthermore, the air temperatures of the spaces SP1 to SP4 are measured via the temperature sensors S1 to S9.

  While the devices constituting each of the electrical facilities 31 to 36 are operated according to the operation plan, the CPU 21 outputs these measurement results to the input terminals 71 to 73 in response to an employee request. Displayed on the display unit 70a. Moreover, CPU21 receives the evaluation of an operation plan from an employee regularly.

  For example, FIG. 10 shows a plan evaluation input screen IM5 displayed on the display unit 70a of the input terminal 71 installed in the space SP1. On this plan evaluation input screen IM5, a check box for evaluating the work efficiency improvement activity targeted for the improvement plan is displayed together with information on the energy saving effect resulting from the operation according to the operation plan.

  Examples of information related to energy-saving effects include energy reduction effects on past performance, changes in the frequency of leaving, changes in the number of keystrokes on the computer keyboard assigned to employees, changes in staying time, etc. .

  Such information can be obtained, for example, by detecting the power consumed by each of the electrical equipments 31 to 36, information on the number of times the keyboard is pressed, the operation time of the personal computer, and the like via the measurement units 61 to 66. CPU21 will display the increase / decrease rate on plan evaluation input screen IM5 compared with the past performance, if these information is acquired.

  The employee residing in the space SP1 can evaluate and input whether the business efficiency has been increased or decreased by performing the business efficiency improvement activities at five levels. In addition, it is possible to input whether to continue or abolish each business efficiency improvement activity in the future. Specifically, these operations can be performed by checking a corresponding check box on the plan evaluation input screen IM5 and pressing, for example, a button BT1 constituting the screen.

  When the evaluation content is input by the employee, the CPU 21 reviews the operation plan based on the evaluation content and creates a new operation plan.

Based on this, the operation plan of each apparatus which comprises each electric equipment 31-36 is created. Therefore, it is possible to create an optimal operation plan that matches the work style of the employee. In addition, the user's awareness of energy conservation can be raised, and as a result, energy conservation activities can be promoted.

  In the first embodiment of the present invention, a screen represented by the plan evaluation input screen IM5 is displayed on the display unit 70a of each of the input terminals 71 to 73. On this plan evaluation input screen IM5, an effect by the operation according to the operation plan and an interface for evaluating the work efficiency improvement activity targeted for the improvement plan are displayed. Thereby, the employee can evaluate the work efficiency improvement activities while visually grasping the effects of the operation plan.
