  Below, the management of the living environment in the house 10 including sunshading (lighting) and wind by the living environment management system 60 (management control panel 30) will be specifically described.

[First Embodiment]
In the living environment management system 60, the lighting and the wind including sunshading are performed according to the season. Here, as seasons, summer (for example, July to September) in which indoor cooling is required, winter (for example, December to March) in which indoor heating is required, and intermediate season (for example, 4). Air conditioning management including wind sampling etc. is performed separately from the spring of the month to June and the autumn of October to November). In addition, since the division of a season changes with residence areas etc., the change of the annual average temperature of the said area is acquired via the host server 36 in an information center, for example, based on this average temperature, a cooling use period, heating You may classify | categorize as a use period and the intermediate period between them.

  Here, in the first embodiment, wind sampling and sun shading in winter will be mainly described.

  The management control panel 30 according to the present embodiment can cumulatively store the power consumption of the house 10 in the HDD 32D. It is assumed that the accumulated power consumption can be displayed on the display 40 at any time. For example, it is assumed that the accumulated power consumption in a specific day, a specific week, a specific month, or a specific year can be displayed on the display 40.

  In addition, the display 40 may be able to display the power consumption for each electrical device such as a lighting fixture or an air conditioner in the house 10 and may be capable of displaying the power consumption for each electrical device in each room.

  Further, it may be possible to confirm how the current power consumption in the house 10 has changed compared to before. In the present embodiment, it is displayed how the current power consumption in the house 10 has changed, for example, compared to the same day in the previous year.

  Or you may display how the electric power consumption in each room of the house 10 changed compared with the same day of the previous year.

  In the present embodiment, the management control panel 30 acquires the weather data acquired by the information center from an external organization such as the Japan Meteorological Agency via the host server 36, so that the outside air temperature, the amount of solar radiation around the house 10 or around the house 10, It may be possible to acquire weather information such as humidity, air volume, and wind direction.

  In addition, a temperature / humidity sensor 64A for detecting outdoor temperature and humidity, a wind direction sensor 64B for detecting outdoor wind direction, a wind speed sensor 64C for detecting outdoor wind speed, and a solar radiation sensor 64D for detecting solar radiation (intensity of sunlight) are installed. Has been. The temperature / humidity sensor 64A, the wind direction sensor 64B, the wind speed sensor 64C, and the solar radiation sensor 64D can also acquire weather information by the management control panel 30.

  In addition to the weather information outside the house 10, the temperature (indoor temperature) and humidity (indoor humidity) in the house 10 can be detected as indoor environment information by the temperature / humidity sensor 66 provided in the house 10. ing.

  The weather information, the indoor environment information, and the power consumption of the house 10 can be displayed on the display 40 at any time, stored cumulatively in the HDD 32D, and further transmitted to the host server 36 in the information center.

  The past meteorological information and indoor environment information stored in the HDD 32D and the power consumption of the house 10 are compared with the power consumption of the same month in the previous year, taking into account the weather information and the indoor environment information. Therefore, it is used in determining whether or not the range is appropriate.

  The weather information and indoor environment information transmitted to the host server 36 and the power consumption of the house 10 are used to create a power consumption map described later.

  Moreover, in this Embodiment, the opening / closing state of the window of the house 10, a curtain, a blind, and a louver is each detected with a sensor, and each opening / closing state is displayed on the display 40 based on the detected result.

  In the present embodiment, control is performed based on a power consumption map in which the daily average outside air temperature Te is set on the vertical axis and the power consumption of the house 10 is set on the horizontal axis. The power consumption map is distributed from the host server 36 in the information center to the management control panel 30. The information center also stores the distributed power consumption map.

  The power consumption map is created by the information center based on the past power consumption of the house 10, the indoor temperature of the house 10, and the outside air temperature.

  In the present embodiment, the information center compares the power consumption of the house 10 with the indoor temperature and the outside air temperature, and the indoor temperature is in a predetermined range, for example, about 20 to 22 ° C. in the winter and in the summer. If so, the power consumption and the outside air temperature when about 26 to 28 ° C. are set as appropriate areas in the power consumption map.

  More specifically, the information center compares the power consumption of the house 10, the outside air temperature, and the indoor temperature, and the power consumption and the outside air temperature of the house 10 when the indoor temperature is included in a predetermined range. Are plotted on a graph in which the horizontal axis represents the power consumption of the house 10 and the vertical axis represents the outside air temperature, respectively, to determine a predetermined range. A power consumption map is created with this predetermined range as an appropriate region.

  It should be noted that the power consumption of a house varies even when the outside air temperature is the same due to differences in the specifications of the house such as heat insulation performance, size, atrium or a large room. In the present embodiment, when the information center can acquire the specification of the house 10, the power consumption map may be corrected in consideration of the specification.

  In the power consumption amount map of FIG. 6, the appropriate area indicating the appropriate range between the outside air temperature Te and the power consumption amount is expressed by hatching.

  In winter, if the outside air temperature Te is high, less power is required for heating. Conversely, if the outside air temperature Te is low, the power required for heating increases.

  For example, since A and B on the power consumption map are both included in the appropriate region, it is determined that the power consumption with respect to the outside air temperature is appropriate.

  In the present embodiment, the information center cumulatively stores the power consumption and weather information of the house 10. When A on the power consumption map shows the current outside air temperature and power consumption, and B shows the outside air temperature and power consumption on the same day of the previous year, the management control panel 30 displays B as past data. On the other hand, the level of the current data A is determined, and the determination result is transmitted to the management control board 30. The management control board 30 displays the received determination result on the display 40.

  In this way, using the power consumption map created in the past and stored in the information center, it is determined whether or not the current outside air temperature and power consumption belong to the appropriate area of the power consumption map. be able to.

  The power consumption map in FIG. 6 compares the outside air temperature with the power consumption. However, a power consumption map that compares the humidity and power consumption, or the amount of solar radiation and power consumption is created and stored, and the current humidity and power consumption, or the current amount of solar radiation and power consumption, respectively. It may be determined whether it belongs to the appropriate area of the power consumption map.

  In FIG. 6, both A and B are within the valid region, but in the case of A, since the outside air temperature is lower than that in the case of B, the power consumption is increased.

  In this case, a message such as “The amount of power consumption is more than that of the same month of the previous year, but within a reasonable range with respect to the outside temperature” is displayed on the display 40.

  Further, when the power consumption amount with respect to the current outside air temperature is in the state A ′, the power consumption amount is excessive with respect to the outside air temperature, so that it is out of the valid region.

  On the other hand, when A ′ and B ′ related to the same day of the previous year are within the appropriate area on the power consumption map, the “power consumption is increasing” as shown in FIG. The message “Consumption is excessive even considering the outside air temperature” is displayed.

  When the power consumption amount is excessive with respect to the outside air temperature such as the message of FIG. 8 is displayed, the management control panel 30 detects the opening / closing states of the windows, curtains, blinds, and louvers of the house 10 with sensors, Determine if there is an open location.

  Then, when the inner window of the north side window is open, as shown in FIG. 9, in the sketch of the house 10, the location where the window is open is indicated by an arrow, and “the inner window of the north side window is open. Please close the inner window of the message "is displayed on the display 40.

  When the resident has closed the inner window of the north window according to the message in FIG. 9, when the power consumption of the house 10 is in the appropriate region, the message as shown in FIG. 10 is displayed on the display 40.

  Next, determination processing based on the power consumption map of the environmental management system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing a determination process based on the power consumption map shown in FIG. 6 when heating is used in winter.

  In step 100, information on the outside air temperature Te of the house 10 is acquired. The outside air temperature Te can be measured by a temperature / humidity sensor 64 </ b> A that detects outdoor temperature and humidity, but information on the outside air temperature Te may be acquired via the host server 36.

  In step 102, the power consumption of the house 10 is calculated. In step 104, it is determined whether or not the outside air temperature Te and the power consumption amount are included in the appropriate area of the power consumption amount map of FIG.

  If the determination in step 104 is affirmative, the power consumption of the house 10 may be maintained as it is, so the determination process is continued as it is.

  If the determination in step 104 is negative, it is determined in step 106 whether the power consumption is excessive with respect to the outside air temperature.

  In step 106, specifically, when the power consumption amount and the outside air temperature are plotted in the upper right region of the appropriate region of the power consumption amount map, it is determined that the power consumption amount is excessive with respect to the outside air temperature. The

  If the determination in step 106 is affirmative, it is determined in step 108 whether the house 10 has an open space such as a window or a blind.

  If the determination in step 108 is affirmative, a message as shown in FIG. 9, for example, including advice for closing the opening position is displayed on the display 40 after the opening position is specified in step 110.

  If a negative determination is made in step 106 or step 108, advice such as lowering the heating set temperature is displayed on the display 40 in step 112.

  As described above, according to the environmental management system according to the present embodiment, based on the power consumption map provided from the information center, whether or not the power consumption of the house 10 is appropriate for the outside air temperature is determined. Can be judged.

  In this determination, if the power consumption of the house 10 is excessive, it is possible to detect whether or not the window is open, and if the window is open, advice such as closing it can be given. It is possible to optimize the living environment and reduce the environmental load.

  In addition, if a human sensor such as an infrared sensor is provided in the house 10 according to the present embodiment, advice such as turning off heating of an unattended room or closing a curtain of an unattended room is provided. You may make it do.

  In addition, since the present embodiment displays advice on the display 40, the advice may be displayed when an infrared sensor or the like detects that a person has come near the display 40.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, after displaying advice such as closing a curtain or closing a window, if the state of the curtain or window remains the same even after a predetermined time has elapsed, the actuator is operated to open the curtain or window. It may be automatically closed.

  In the present embodiment, the power consumption map is intended to suppress heating in the winter and to suppress cooling in the summer, and is therefore preferably changed according to the season.

  In the present embodiment, the outside temperature, the indoor temperature, and the power consumption are transmitted from the house 10 at predetermined intervals to the information center, and the outdoor temperature, the indoor temperature, and the power consumption transmitted at predetermined intervals at the information center. A power consumption amount map may be created based on the amount.

  The predetermined interval may be every season of spring, summer, autumn and winter, or may be every month, every week, or every day.

  As a result, the information center can periodically create a power consumption amount map such as spring, summer, autumn, winter, every month, every week, or every day and distribute it to the house 10.

  In the present embodiment, the outdoor environment information related to the outside air temperature, the amount of solar radiation, and the like is acquired from the house 10, but the power consumption map is also acquired from an external organization such as the Japan Meteorological Agency and using the acquired outdoor environment information.

  In the present embodiment, control is performed based on a power consumption map in which the amount of solar radiation is set on the vertical axis and the power consumption of the house 10 is set on the horizontal axis. This power consumption map is distributed from the host server 36 in the information center to the management control panel 30 as in the first embodiment. In addition, the information center stores the distributed power consumption map.

  The power consumption map is created by the information center based on the past power consumption of the house 10, the indoor temperature of the house 10, and the amount of solar radiation. The power consumption amount of the house 10 and the indoor temperature of the house 10 are those transmitted from the house 10 to the host server 36 of the information center.

  The solar radiation amount can be calculated from the output of the solar power generation device 18 (the solar radiation sensor 64D) included in the house 10, and the calculated solar radiation amount data is transmitted to the host server 36 of the information center.

  Since P1, Q2, and R1 on the power consumption map are included in the valid region, it is determined that the power consumption with respect to the solar radiation is valid.

  S on the power consumption map is determined to be excessive in comparison with the amount of solar radiation.

  However, although P1 is included in the appropriate region, the amount of solar radiation is very large, so that the power required for cooling increases. In the present embodiment, even if the amount of solar radiation and the amount of power consumption are within the appropriate range, if the amount of power consumption increases as in P1, “the amount of power consumption is relative to the amount of solar radiation” as shown in FIG. Although it is a reasonable range, it may be slightly oversized. Please raise the set temperature of the air conditioner etc. ”or the like may be displayed on the display 40.
