| 20100010680 | AIR CONDITIONING CONTROL DEVICE AND AIR CONDITIONING CONTROL METHOD - An air conditioning control device includes an operating-unit specifying unit, an adjacent-unit specifying unit and an adjacent-unit control unit, and collectively controls the operation of an indoor unit group. The operating-unit specifying unit specifies an operating unit to perform an air conditioning operation from the indoor units included in the indoor unit group. The adjacent-unit specifying unit specifies an adjacent unit adjacent to the operating unit from the indoor units included in the indoor unit group. The adjacent-unit control unit causes the adjacent unit to perform an air flow generating operation. This air flow inhibits air conditioned by the air conditioning operation of the operating unit from diffusing from an air conditioning target space. | 01-14-2010 |
| 20100036533 | AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEM - An air-conditioning system includes an air-conditioning unit that is switchable between local air-conditioning and overall air-conditioning, a data acquisition unit configured to acquire state quantity data of a requester, and a control unit. The control unit calculates comfort assessment values for both the requester and a neighbor, and controls the air-conditioning unit so that the local air-conditioning is performed to an extent whereby the comfort assessment value of the neighbor is kept in a comfort range and the comfort assessment value of the requester can be within the comfort range. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20100101264 | AIR CONDITIONING BLOW-OUT PANEL, AIR CONDITIONING CONTROL SYSTEM INCLUDING THE SAME AND AIR CONDITIONING CONTROL METHOD - An air conditioning blow-out panel is configured to be attached/detached to/from a main body of an air conditioning indoor unit. The air conditioning blow-out panel includes an airflow regulation mechanism, a driving unit, a control unit and a network connection unit. The airflow regulation mechanism is configured to regulate at least one of the airflow volume and the airflow direction. The driving unit is configured to drive the airflow regulation mechanism. The control unit is configured to control the driving unit. The network connection unit is connected to a network connection to obtain sensor information. The network connection unit is configured to receive a control command generated based on the sensor information and to transmit it to the control unit. Furthermore, the control unit is configured to control the driving unit based on the control command generated based on the sensor information obtained through the network connection. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20100241287 | AIR CONDITIONING CONTROL DEVICE, AIR CONDITIONING APPARATUS, AND AIR CONDITIONING CONTROL METHOD - An air conditioning control device is used to control an air conditioner having a utilization unit and a heat source unit. The air conditioning control device includes a state detection unit and a mitigation control unit. The state detection unit is configured to detect an increased energy state where a space temperature of an air conditioning target space of the utilization unit is frequently below a set temperature of the utilization unit during cooling operation or frequently exceeds the set temperature of the utilization unit during heating operation. The mitigation control unit is configured to control the air conditioner so as to mitigate the increased energy state when the state detection unit detects the increased energy state. | 09-23-2010 |
| 20110057044 | AIR CONDITIONER MANAGING APPARATUS - An air conditioner managing apparatus includes a storage unit configured to accumulate operation data about numerous indoor units, a first screen generating unit, a second screen generating unit and a display switching unit. The first screen generating unit is configured to generate a first screen on which a plurality of the numerous indoor units with a problem can be visually verified based on the operation data. The second screen generating unit is configured to generate a second screen on which the operation data related to a specific one of the plurality of indoor units can be visually verified. The display switching unit is configured to switch to the second screen relating to the specific one of the plurality of indoor units when the specific one of the plurality of indoor units displayed on the first screen is selected and an input of a prescribed button is accepted. | 03-10-2011 |
| 20110130880 | GROUP MANAGEMENT APPARATUS AND GROUP MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - A group management apparatus is configured to manage a plurality of air conditioning facilities installed in a plurality of buildings as a plurality of groups. The group management apparatus includes an obtaining section configured to obtain operational data of the air conditioning facilities through a plurality of control units disposed in the buildings on a one-to-one basis, and an extracting section configured to extract one or more groups satisfying predetermined conditions from the groups based on a plurality of assessment perspectives. The control units are configured to control the air conditioning facilities within the buildings. A group management system includes the group management apparatus and the control units. | 06-02-2011 |
| 20110144948 | DIAGNOSTIC AID DEVICE - A diagnostic aid device is configured to aid diagnosis of an operating efficiency of an air conditioner. The diagnostic aid device includes an obtaining section, a specifying section, a screen generating section and a measure information providing section. The obtaining section obtains an operating data of the air conditioner. Using the operating data obtained by the obtaining section, the specifying section specifies a state value of the air conditioner including air conditioning load factor, COP, power consumption or frequency. The screen generating section generates either a first screen or a second screen based on the state value specified by the specifying section. The first screen represents an operating status of the air conditioner. The second screen represents the operating status and single or plural sets of information related to a measure used to improve the state value. | 06-16-2011 |
| 20110190954 | ENERGY SAVING SUPPORT DEVICE - An energy saving support device supports energy saving of an air conditioner and includes an acquiring unit, a first energy calculating unit, a second energy calculating unit, an information generating unit and a reporting unit. The acquiring unit acquires operating data regarding the air conditioner. The first energy calculating unit determines a total consumed energy or a standard consumed energy of the air conditioner as a comparison target energy based on the operating data acquired by the acquiring unit. The second energy calculating unit determines a low-COP consumed energy based on the operating data acquired by the acquiring unit. The information generating unit generates room-for-energy-saving information in order to determine a potential for energy saving based on the comparison target energy and the low-COP consumed energy. The reporting unit reports the room-for-energy-saving information. | 08-04-2011 |
