[0014] As shown in FIG. 1, the energy saving effect assessment system 1 of this embodiment is composed of a power consumption measuring device 23, an air inlet sensor 24, an air outlet sensor 25, an environmental sensor 26, a data collection device 27, and a personal computer 28 installed in a measurement target facility (e.g. a house) 2, a router 31, a server 32, and a personal computer 33 installed in a management company 3 that manages the energy saving effect assessment system 1, personal computers 41... installed in a plurality of agents 4..., personal computers 51... located in a plurality of customer facilities 5..., and the Internet 6.

[0015] An indoor unit 21a of an air conditioner 21 is installed in the measurement target facility 2. When the energy saving effect judgment system 1 executes an energy saving effect judgment, the air conditioner 21 operates for a predetermined period (e.g., two weeks) without applying energy saving measures (e.g., applying oil to the drive unit, cleaning the filter, etc.), and then operates for a predetermined period (e.g., two weeks) with the energy saving measures applied.

[0016] Commercial AC power is supplied to the indoor unit 21a of the air conditioner 21 from a commercial AC power source 22 via a power consumption measuring device 23. The power consumption measuring device 23 detects the power flowing from the commercial AC power source 22 to the air conditioner 21 (the indoor unit 21a and the outdoor unit (not shown)) (because the AC voltage is fixed, power is detected by detecting the current) to detect the power consumption of the air conditioner 21, and transmits the power consumption data of the detection result to a data accumulating device 27.

[0017] An inlet sensor 24 is attached to the inlet 21b of the indoor unit 21a of the air conditioner 21. The inlet sensor 24 detects the temperature of the air taken into the indoor unit 21a from the inlet 21b, and transmits the inlet temperature data of the detection result to the data accumulation device 27.

[0018] An air outlet sensor 25 is attached to the air outlet 21c of the indoor unit 21a of the air conditioner 21. The air outlet sensor 25 detects the temperature of the air blown into the room from the air outlet 21c, and transmits the air outlet temperature data of the detection result to the data accumulation device 27.

[0019] The environmental sensor 26 detects environmental data such as temperature, humidity, etc. of the measurement target facility 2 , and transmits the detected environmental data to the data accumulation device 27 .

[0020] The data accumulation device 27 accumulates the received power consumption data, inlet temperature data, outlet temperature data, and environmental data in correspondence with time to generate accumulated data, and transmits the generated accumulated data to the server 32 of the management company 3 via the personal computer 28, the Internet 6, and the router 31 of the management company 3.

[0021] A router 31, a server 32, and a personal computer 33 installed in the management company 3 constitute a local Internet. The accumulated data received by the server 32 is entered automatically or manually by an employee into a website run by the program of the energy saving effect assessment system 1, and various analyses and display processes are carried out on the website.

[0022] The website of the energy-saving effect judgment system 1 is displayed on a personal computer 41 installed at an agency 4 and a personal computer 51 installed at a customer premises 5 via the Internet from a server 32 of a management company 3 .

[0023] <Data processing for the energy saving effect assessment system> Hereinafter, data processing of the energy-saving effect determination system 1 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0024] 2, in step S1, a system administrator of energy saving effect judgment system 1 belonging to management company 3 or an employee of an agency uses a personal computer (personal computer 33 installed at management company 3 in the case of the system administrator, and personal computer 41 installed at agency 4 in the case of an employee of an agency) to access the website (translated as website) of energy saving effect judgment system 1, and the top page of the website is displayed on the screen of the personal computer as shown in step S2. On the top page, the system administrator can add menus.

[0025] Next, in step S3, the system administrator or an employee of the agency searches for a measurement point corresponding to the measurement target facility 2 using the measurement point search web page screen 101 shown in FIG.

[0026] In step S3, the system administrator can search all measurement points, whereas the agency employees can only search their own company's points.

[0027] In FIG. 3, a measurement point search Web page screen 101 displays an input section 102 for measuring point search and a list of measuring points 103.

[0028] The measurement point search input section 102 is used to search for registered measurement points, and only the system administrator can input the agency name. An agency can only search for its own agency.

[0029] In the measurement point list 103, the "Settings" button is used to register / view the measurement point information of the corresponding measurement point, register each CVS data, and perform analysis. Also, in the measurement point list 103, the "Analysis Results" button is used to view the analysis results of the corresponding measurement point. In this case, only the measurement points where analysis has been performed are displayed as buttons.

[0030] Next, in step S4, the system administrator registers / views the measurement points corresponding to the measurement target facility 2 using the screen 111 of the measurement point information registration / viewing Web page shown in FIG.

[0031] In step S4, the system administrator can register / view all measurement points, whereas the agency employee can only modify / view their own company's data. The agency employee also notifies the customer of a URL for viewing measurement points limited to that customer. This enables the customer to view the measurement points for that customer.

[0032] In FIG. 4, an input section 112 for registering / viewing measurement spot information is displayed on a screen 111 of a Web page for registering / viewing measurement spot information.

[0033] Only the system administrator can register the agency name in the measurement spot information registration / viewing input unit 112, and agency employees can only update the information.

[0034] The system administrator sets the time period to be targeted in the overall analysis in the “measurement time period” input section of the first input unit 112 .

[0035] By inputting the contents of the first input section 112, display / registration of the second input section 113 becomes possible.

[0036] In the "measurement period" input section of the second input unit 113, input the period without the energy saving means (MS) and the period with the energy saving means (MS), and register them with the "AMEDAS outside temperature registration / measurement period setting" button. By inputting the period without the energy saving means (MS) and the period with the energy saving means (MS) separately, the measurement periods for both are specified.

[0037] The data registration status is displayed for each measurement point in the "Data Registration Status" input section of the second input section 113. When all measurement points are marked with "○", a "Start Analysis" button is displayed.

[0038] The system administrator presses the "start analysis" button to analyze various data, and after the analysis, the first input section 112 and the second input section 113 cannot be updated, and an analysis result display URL is displayed in the analysis result display URL display section 114. The customer is notified of the analysis result display URL by email or the like, and is able to directly view the analysis results.

[0039] Next, in step S5, the system administrator performs outside air temperature registration / measurement period setting corresponding to the measurement target facility 2 using the outside air temperature registration / measurement period setting Web page screen 121 shown in FIG.

[0040] In FIG. 5, a screen 121 of a Web page for registering outside air temperature / setting a measurement period displays an input section 122 for registering measurement spot information / setting a viewing period.

[0041] In the input unit 122 for registering measurement point information / setting viewing period, AMeDAS one-hour outdoor temperature data is registered as a CSV for each period without / with energy saving means (MS). Each measurement period is automatically set from the contents of this data. When simultaneously measuring with / without energy saving means (MS), this can be set by registering the same CSV for both.

[0042] Next, in step S6, the system administrator registers the measurement point information / measurement data corresponding to the measurement target facility 2 using the measurement point information / measurement data registration Web page screen 131 shown in FIG.

[0043] 6, a measurement point information / measurement data registration web page screen 131 displays a measurement point information / measurement data registration input section 132. In the input section 132, air conditioning information for the number of air conditioning units set in the measurement point registration field is registered.

[0044] Through the processing of steps S1 to S6, the server 32 installed in the management company 3 performs an overall analysis of the energy-saving effect, and in step S7 generates a Web page of the overall analysis result shown in Figures 7 and 8. The system administrator, the agent's employees, or the customers view the overall analysis result of the energy-saving effect using the screen of the Web page of the overall analysis result shown in Figures 7 and 8.

[0045] In FIG. 7, a display section 142 of the first half of the overall analysis result is displayed on a screen 141 of the overall analysis result Web page.

[0046] The first half of the display section 142 displays the measurement data of the energy saving effect and the environmental measurement data (temperature) measuring the environmental state of the measurement point (evaluation target) before and after the application of the energy saving measures, as average values ​​(total average power consumption, average temperature).

[0047] In FIG. 8, a display section 152 showing the latter half of the overall analysis result is displayed on a screen 151 of the overall analysis result Web page.

[0048] The latter half of the display section 152 displays an outside temperature vs. power consumption distribution chart 153, which displays the relationship between the measurement data of the energy-saving effect (power consumption before and after applying the energy-saving measure to the measurement point (evaluation target)) and the non-application environmental measurement data (air temperature) which measures the state of the environment in which the evaluation target is installed before and after applying the energy-saving measure to the measurement point (evaluation target).

[0049] Next, the server 32 installed in the management company 3 performs a detailed analysis of the energy-saving effect, and in step S8 generates a Web page of the detailed analysis of the energy-saving effect shown in Fig. 9. The system administrator, an employee of the agency, or a customer browses the detailed analysis of the energy-saving effect using the screen of the Web page of the detailed analysis shown in Fig. 9.

[0050] In FIG. 9, a display section 162 of a detailed analysis of energy saving effects is displayed on a screen 161 of a Web page for detailed analysis.

[0051] The detailed analysis of the energy saving effect display section 162 displays the measurement data of the energy saving effect and environmental measurement data (average temperature) measuring the environmental state of the measurement point (evaluation target) before and after applying the energy saving measures to the measurement point in a matrix table 163.

[0052] Next, in step S9, the server 32 installed in the management company 3 generates a Web page for displaying background data of the energy-saving effect shown in Fig. 10. The system administrator, an employee of the agency, or a customer browses the background data of the energy-saving effect using screen 171 of the Web page for displaying background data of the energy-saving effect shown in Fig. 10.

[0053] Next, in step S10, the server 32 installed in the management company 3 generates a Web page for comparing current values ​​over one hour, as shown in Fig. 11. The system administrator, an employee of the agency, or a customer browses the display of a comparison of current values ​​over one hour using screen 181 of the Web page for comparing current values ​​over one hour, as shown in Fig. 11.

[0054] In FIG. 11, a screen 181 of a web page for comparing current values ​​over one hour displays in a graph 183 the current values ​​of the top five outdoor units with the highest energy saving rates with and without energy saving measures (MS) during one hour at the same time and with the same outside temperature.

[0055] Next, in step S11, the server 32 installed in the management company 3 displays "More Energy Saving" to appeal to energy saving behavior.

[0056] Next, in step S12, the system administrator registers business energy data corresponding to the measurement target facility 2 using a screen 191 of a Web page for business energy data registration shown in FIG.
