[0004] The present disclosure provides a planner support method, a planner support system, and a program that can appropriately support a planner who formulates an introduction plan for introducing equipment into a building.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] The method for assisting planners in the present disclosure is a method for assisting planners in formulating an introduction plan for introducing facilities into a building, including a first acquisition step of acquiring a first reference primary energy consumption amount, which is the reference primary energy consumption amount of all the facilities planned to be introduced into the building; a second acquisition step of acquiring a second reference primary energy consumption amount, which is the reference primary energy consumption amount of the air conditioning facilities planned to be introduced into the building; a third acquisition step of acquiring a first designed primary energy consumption amount, which is the designed primary energy consumption amount of all the facilities planned to be introduced into the building; a fourth acquisition step of acquiring a second designed primary energy consumption amount, which is the designed primary energy consumption amount of the air conditioning facilities planned to be introduced into the building; and an output step. The output step outputs that when the first ratio of the first designed primary energy consumption amount to the first reference primary energy consumption amount is less than a first predetermined value and the second ratio of the second designed primary energy consumption amount to the second reference primary energy consumption amount is greater than or equal to a second predetermined value, in the actual operation stage of the facilities planned to be introduced into the building, the energy consumption amount of all the facilities planned to be introduced into the building may exceed the first designed primary energy consumption amount.

[0006] In addition, the planner support system in the present disclosure is a planner support system that supports a planner who formulates an introduction plan for introducing equipment into a building. The system includes a first acquisition unit that acquires a first reference primary energy consumption amount, which is the reference primary energy consumption amount of all the equipment planned to be introduced into the building; a second acquisition unit that acquires a second reference primary energy consumption amount, which is the reference primary energy consumption amount of the air conditioning equipment planned to be introduced into the building; a third acquisition unit that acquires a first designed primary energy consumption amount, which is the designed primary energy consumption amount of all the equipment planned to be introduced into the building; a fourth acquisition unit that acquires a second designed primary energy consumption amount, which is the designed primary energy consumption amount of the air conditioning equipment planned to be introduced into the building; and an output unit. When a first ratio of the first designed primary energy consumption amount to the first reference primary energy consumption amount is less than a first predetermined value and a second ratio of the second designed primary energy consumption amount to the second reference primary energy consumption amount is equal to or greater than a second predetermined value, the output unit outputs that in the actual operation stage of the equipment planned to be introduced into the building, the energy consumption amount of all the equipment planned to be introduced into the building may exceed the first designed primary energy consumption amount.

[0007] In addition, the program in the present disclosure causes a processor of a terminal device that supports a planner who formulates an introduction plan for introducing equipment into a building to function as a first acquisition unit that acquires a first reference primary energy consumption amount, which is the reference primary energy consumption amount of all the equipment planned to be introduced into the building, a second acquisition unit that acquires a second reference primary energy consumption amount, which is the reference primary energy consumption amount of the air conditioning equipment planned to be introduced into the building, a third acquisition unit that acquires a first designed primary energy consumption amount, which is the designed primary energy consumption amount of all the equipment planned to be introduced into the building, a fourth acquisition unit that acquires a second designed primary energy consumption amount, which is the designed primary energy consumption amount of the air conditioning equipment planned to be introduced into the building, and an output unit.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0010] (Findings etc. underlying the present disclosure) When the inventors came up with the present disclosure, there was a technology for determining air conditioning equipment to be introduced into a building. By the way, against the background of a significant increase in the energy consumption of houses and buildings, the "Law Concerning the Improvement of Energy Conservation Performance of Buildings" (hereinafter referred to as the "Building Energy Conservation Law") has been promulgated. In this Building Energy Conservation Law, the targets for evaluating the energy conservation performance of houses and buildings are air conditioning equipment, ventilation equipment, lighting equipment, hot water supply equipment, and elevators installed in the building. The energy conservation standards related to the regulation of buildings subject to the energy conservation standard compliance obligation are evaluated by the primary energy consumption. In the Building Energy Conservation Law, an index called BEI (Building Energy Index) is used as a level for determining whether the primary energy consumption of houses and buildings meets the standard. BEI is a value obtained by dividing the designed primary energy consumption of the building actually to be built by the reference primary energy consumption determined by factors such as the region, building use, and room usage conditions. The level at which the primary energy consumption standard of newly constructed houses and buildings is met is BEI ≤ 1.0 in the non-residential field. That is, in newly constructed buildings, if the designed primary energy consumption is less than or equal to the reference primary energy consumption, it means that the energy conservation standard is met. Note that BEI is defined as the designed primary energy consumption of the entire equipment ÷ the reference primary energy consumption of the entire equipment.

[0011] However, in the evaluation based only on BEI, the total energy consumption of the facility during the actual operation stage may exceed the total energy consumption of the facility at the planning stage. This is because in the BEI evaluation, the impact on the total energy consumption of the facility during the actual operation stage caused by the low energy efficiency of the facility or the change in the operation of the facility is not assumed. For example, WEBPRO is the calculation result at the rated time based on the rated COP and the rated power consumption value of the air conditioner. However, in actual operation, there are operations in the low load area and the high load area, and the COP is lower than the rated value. As a result, differences occur between the planning stage and the actual operation stage. In addition, in the WEBPRO calculation, although the energy-saving effect is integrated for the entire facility to pass the energy-saving compliance judgment (for example, borrowing the high energy-saving of lighting), due to the poor rated COP of the air conditioner in the low load area and the high load area, the design energy consumption of the entire facility during operation may exceed the value of the WEBPRO calculation result (design primary energy consumption) at the planning stage. Furthermore, generally, there are differences between the operation defined by WEBPRO (for example, the operation period and operation time of the air conditioner) and the operation content in the actual operation stage. In particular, since the energy consumption of the air conditioning equipment accounts for a large part of the total energy consumption of the entire facility, the total energy consumption of the entire facility during the actual operation stage of the facility is likely to exceed the designed primary energy consumption of the entire facility assumed at the time of BEI calculation in the initial planning stage. That is, during the actual operation stage, the energy consumption increases, and the customer needs to make unexpected expenditures.

[0012] Therefore, in order to prevent unexpected expenditures of customers, in addition to the total energy consumption of the facility, considering the energy consumption of the air conditioning equipment, it is desirable to be able to grasp whether the total energy consumption of the entire facility during the actual operation stage of the facility may exceed the equipment primary energy consumption of the entire facility at the planning stage before the introduction of the facility. This is because before the introduction of the facility, an opportunity to review the facility to be introduced is obtained, and the planners of the introduction plan for introducing the facility into the building can be appropriately supported. However, the inventors have discovered the problem that there has been no mechanism to meet this requirement conventionally, and in order to solve this problem, they have come to constitute the subject matter of the present disclosure. Therefore, the present disclosure provides a planner support method, a planner support system, and a program that can appropriately support planners who formulate an introduction plan for introducing equipment into a building.

[0013] Hereinafter, embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, detailed descriptions may be omitted more than necessary. For example, detailed descriptions of well-known matters or duplicate descriptions of substantially the same configurations may be omitted. Note that the accompanying drawings and the following description are provided for those skilled in the art to fully understand the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the subject matter described in the claims.

[0014] (Embodiment 1) [1-1. Configuration] [1-1-1. Configuration of the Planner Support System] With reference to FIG. 1, an overview of the planner support system 1000 will be described. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an overview of the planner support system 1000.

[0015] The planner support system 1000 is a system that supports a planner P2 who formulates a plan (hereinafter, appropriately referred to as an "introduction plan") for introducing equipment 1 into a building BL. The planner support system 1000 includes a terminal device 2 and provides a planner support service for supporting the planner P2 of the introduction plan. In this embodiment, the introduction plan is a plan indicating what kind of equipment 1 is to be introduced into the building BL. In this embodiment, a building BL in the non-residential field is exemplified.

[0016] Examples of the building BL include houses, offices, warehouses, stores, factories, school buildings, hotels, etc. In this embodiment, a non-residential building such as a commercial building is exemplified as the building BL.

[0017] As the facility 1 introduced into the building BL, there are included an air conditioning facility 4, a ventilation facility, a lighting facility, a hot water supply facility, an elevator, and other facilities. As the air conditioning facility 4, there can be cited, for example, an air conditioner having an indoor unit and an outdoor unit, a ventilation device, and the like. Note that the ventilation device may or may not have a total heat exchanger that performs heat exchange between the air supplied from the outside to the inside and the air exhausted from the inside to the outside. Also, the ventilation mode of the ventilation device may be any of the first type of ventilation, the second type of ventilation, and the third type of ventilation. Further, the air conditioner targets a package air conditioner or a central air conditioner. A form in which both are mixed may also be possible. The package air conditioner indicates a business-use air conditioner and indicates three types of air conditioners: an air conditioner for store offices, a business-use multi-air conditioner (a multi-air conditioner for buildings), and an air conditioner for facilities / factories.

[0018] The terminal device 2 is a PC (Personal Computer). In FIG. 1, a laptop-type PC is illustrated as the terminal device 2, but the terminal device 2 may be a desktop-type PC, a tablet-type PC, or a smartphone. The terminal device 2 communicates with a WEBPRO calculation service 3 connected to the network NW. The network NW includes the Internet, a telephone network, and other communication networks.

[0019] Note that the WEBPRO calculation service 3 is a service provided by the state and is a service that performs calculation processing by WEBPRO31. WEBPRO31 is a program provided by the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology and is a program for calculating the energy consumption performance of the building BL. When the WEBPRO calculation service 3 receives the design data D1 of the building BL from the terminal device 2, it performs a calculation based on the design data D1 by WEBPRO31 and transmits calculation result data D2 indicating the calculation result to the terminal device 2.

[0020] Here, the design data D1 and the calculation result data D2 will be described. The design data D1 includes building information J11 and facility information J12. The building information J11 is information regarding the building BL. The building information J11 records the location of the building BL, the use of the building BL, the types of building materials of the building BL, the types of fittings of the building BL, etc. Also, for each room in the building BL, the building information J11 records the location of the room in the building BL, the floor number (information indicating which floor in the building BL with several floors), the floor area of the room, the ceiling height, the floor height, the number of windows in the room, the area of the windows in the room, the direction where the windows are installed, the materials of the parts of the building BL (for example, windows, outer walls, roofs, etc.) (for example, heat insulation rate, thickness, area, etc.), the occupancy ratio (the ratio occupied by people with respect to the floor area), the heat generation amount of the lighting equipment set in the room, the heat generation amount of the equipment other than the lighting equipment installed in the room, and other information regarding the building BL defined by WEBPRO31 are recorded. The facility information J12 records the types and quantities of the facilities 1 planned to be introduced into the building BL. More specifically, the facility information J12 includes air conditioning facility information regarding the air conditioning facilities 4 among the facilities 1 planned to be introduced. The air conditioning facility information records information regarding the facilities 1 defined by WEBPRO31, such as the types of the air conditioning facilities 4, the number of the air conditioning facilities 4, the rated cooling capacity, the rated heating capacity, the rated power consumption of the blower, the presence or absence of the execution of the precooling operation, the presence or absence of the execution of the preheating operation, etc.

[0021] The calculation result data D2 includes various energy consumption amounts calculated by WEBPRO31. The various energy consumption amounts calculated by WEBPRO31 include the reference primary energy consumption amount and the design primary energy consumption amount. The reference primary energy consumption amount is an energy consumption amount indicating the criterion as to whether the design primary energy consumption amount described later conforms to the energy saving criterion. For the calculation of the reference primary energy consumption amount by WEBPRO31, the criteria of the outer skin and facility specifications for the reference setting of the primary energy consumption amount are made public. For example, for the facilities 1, based on the design specifications shown in the design data D1, it is calculated by WEBPRO31 based on information such as the reference primary energy consumption amount per unit (MJ / m2·year) determined for each facility, each region, and each room use. The designed primary energy consumption is the predicted value of the energy consumption calculated by the calculation logic published in the calculation specification of the energy consumption performance calculation program of WEBPRO31 based on the design specifications shown in the design data D1. This value becomes the target value for the management of energy consumption in the actual operation stage.

[0022] Note that this disclosure assumes not only the current standards but also the future correspondence to the calculation method of WEBPRO31. In the future, as an example of a standard change, the current baseline primary energy consumption for WEBPRO energy-saving calculation is calculated based on a reference value per unit of target area, but it may also be calculated by the baseline method (a method of calculating energy-saving by considering the building for calculating the baseline primary energy consumption as a building without implementing the energy-saving measures adopted in the building for calculating the designed primary energy consumption). Also, a change in the unit of the baseline primary energy consumption may occur. Furthermore, the input method for WEBPRO may be the model building method (a simplified evaluation method that assumes a model for each building use and performs calculations), the standard input method (the most detailed calculation method that performs calculations using information such as floor area, equipment content, and envelope performance for all rooms provided in the target building), or an input method suitable for small-scale buildings and houses.

[0023] The various energy consumption amounts calculated by WEBPRO31 include, for example, the following seven types of baseline primary energy consumption amounts. Among the following, only the annual baseline primary energy consumption amount of the entire Facility 1 is used in the calculation of the BEI for the energy-saving compliance determination. Annual baseline primary energy consumption of the air conditioning equipment 4 Annual baseline primary energy consumption of the ventilation equipment Annual baseline primary energy consumption of the lighting equipment Annual baseline primary energy consumption of the hot water supply equipment Annual baseline primary energy consumption of the elevator Annual baseline primary energy consumption of other equipment Annual baseline primary energy consumption of the entire Facility 1

[0024] Note that the annual reference primary energy consumption of the entire Facility 1 refers to the sum of the annual reference primary energy consumption of the Facility 1 introduced into the building BL. In the following description, the annual reference primary energy consumption of the entire Facility 1 is referred to as the "First Reference Primary Energy Consumption". Also, the annual reference primary energy consumption of the air conditioning facility 4 is referred to as the "Second Reference Primary Energy Consumption".

[0025] In addition, the various energy consumptions calculated by WEBPRO31 include, for example, the following seven types of design primary energy consumptions. The following respective values will be the target values for each Facility 1 and the target value for the entire Facility 1 for energy management during the actual operation stage. Annual design primary energy consumption of the air conditioning facility 4 Annual design primary energy consumption of the ventilation facility Annual design primary energy consumption of the lighting facility Annual design primary energy consumption of the hot water supply facility Annual design primary energy consumption of the elevator Annual design primary energy consumption of other facilities Annual design primary energy consumption of the entire Facility 1

[0026] Note that the annual design primary energy consumption of the entire Facility 1 refers to the sum of the annual design primary energy consumption of the Facility 1 introduced into the building BL. In the following description, the annual design primary energy consumption of the entire Facility 1 is referred to as the "First Design Primary Energy Consumption". Also, the predicted value of the annual design primary energy consumption of the air conditioning facility 4 is referred to as the "Second Design Primary Energy Consumption".

[0027] Returning to the description of the overview of the decision maker support system 1000, the decision maker P2 performs the design work of the building BL based on the request from the selection requester P1, that is, the customer. Note that the decision maker P2 is a person who formulates the plan related to Facility 1. For example, the decision maker P2 may be a person who specializes in formulating the plan related to Facility 1, or may be a person who has built or designed the building BL. Also, the selection requester P1 is, for example, the owner of the building BL or a person who has been entrusted with the management work by the owner.

[0028] In this embodiment, the design work of the building BL performed by the decision maker P2 is roughly divided into the following five. Task 1: Selection of Facility 1 including the air conditioning facility 4 Task 2: Creation of the design data D1 to be input into the WEBPRO31 Task 3: Calculation of various energy consumption amounts by the WEBPRO31 Task 4: Output of the calculation result shown by the calculation result data D2 by the decision maker P2 using the terminal device 2. Note that the form of the output may be display or printing. Task 5: Judgment as to whether or not it conforms to the energy saving standard in the actual operation stage based on the calculation result of the WEBPRO31, and consideration and review for conforming to the energy saving standard in the actual operation stage

[0029] In Task 1, the decision maker P2 uses the terminal device 2 or the like to perform the selection in a predetermined method. In Task 2, based on the selection result in Task 1, the decision maker P2 uses the terminal device 2 to create the design data D1. In Task 3, the decision maker P2 operates the terminal device 2 to transmit the design data D1 from the terminal device 2 to the WEBPRO calculation service 3. In Task 4, the decision maker P2 outputs the calculation result shown by the calculation result data D2 using the terminal device 2. Note that the form of the output may be display or printing. In Business 5, referring to the screens described later, the formulator P2 determines whether the building BL meets the energy conservation standards during the actual operation stage of Facility 1, that is, determines whether the total energy consumption of the entire Facility 1 planned to be introduced into the building BL during the actual operation stage of Facility 1 may exceed the first design primary energy consumption of the entire Facility 1. Also, in Business 5, referring to the screens described later, considerations including energy conservation measures not defined in WEBPRO31 to be implemented in the building BL to meet the energy conservation standards during the actual operation stage, and a review of the design data D1 to be input into WEBPRO31 to meet the energy conservation standards are carried out.

[0030] [1-1-2. Configuration of the Terminal Device] Figure 2 is a diagram showing the configuration of the terminal device 2. The terminal device 2 includes a control device 20, a communication unit 21, a display 22, and an input unit 23.

[0031] The control device 20 is a device that controls each part of the terminal device 2. The control device 20 includes a processor 200 such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or an MPU (Micro Processor Unit), a memory 220, and an interface circuit. Note that other devices and sensors included in the terminal device 2 are connected to this interface circuit.

[0032] The memory 220 is a memory that stores programs and data. The memory 220 stores a first program 221, a second program 222, simulation model data 223, and data to be processed by the processor 200. The memory 220 has a non-volatile storage area. Also, the memory 220 includes a volatile storage area that constitutes the work area of the processor 200. The memory 220 is constituted by, for example, a ROM (Read Only Memory) or a RAM (Random Access Memory). The second program 222 corresponds to an example of the "program".

[0033] The first program 221 is a program for obtaining various energy consumption amounts from WEBPRO31. The second program 222 is a program for assisting the planner P2.

[0034] The simulation model data 223 is data indicating a simulation model. The simulation model is a model that outputs predicted energy consumption. The input of this simulation model will be described later. Note that the simulation model data 223 indicates. The simulation model data 223 is defined by a solar radiation model and a weather model, and for each room in a building (building model) equipped with a plurality of rooms and where an air conditioner is installed, a human body heat generation model, a lighting equipment heat generation model, a device heat generation model, an air conditioner device model, a ventilation device model of a total heat exchanger, etc. When targeting stores and restaurants, a heat generation model of kitchen equipment, a ventilation device model of an exhaust fan, and a ventilation model of a range hood may be considered in this simulation model. Note that the simulation model of the building BL and the facility 1 is created with reference to the design information for calculation in WEBPRO31. Also, as an energy simulator, for example, simulators such as EnergyPlus, TRANSYS, and BEST are used. These simulators can calculate the power consumption by connecting the building and the facilities.

[0035] Here, a method for calculating the power consumption in the device model of an air conditioner, which accounts for a large amount of power consumption in the processing related to the air conditioning facility 4, will be described. The device model of the air conditioner is composed of the following formulas (1) to (4). Q = F(ΔT1) ··· (1) Q = ρ × Cp × Vol × ΔT2 ··· (2) Load factor = Q ÷ rated capacity value of the outdoor unit ··· (3) Power consumption = Q ÷ COP ··· (4) In formulas (1) to (4), Q is the cooling capacity when the air conditioner is in the cooling mode and the heating capacity when the air conditioner is in the heating mode. In formula (1), F() obtains Q by making a table lookup association with respect to ΔT1. The value of Q obtained by F() is a table showing the relationship between ΔT1 and Q created based on the minimum capacity, rated capacity, maximum capacity, etc. of the selected model in association with ΔT1. Specifically, it is created with reference to the specifications of the equipment of the actual air conditioner, the equipment configuration, the control logic, etc. In formula (1), ΔT1 is the difference between the set temperature and the sensor value, and the sensor value is the suction temperature of the indoor unit. Instead of the suction temperature, when the indoor unit can detect the floor surface temperature, it may be the difference between the set temperature and the floor surface temperature. In formula (2), ΔT2 is the difference between the supply air temperature and the sensor value, which is obtained by subtracting the sensor value from the supply air temperature during heating and by subtracting the supply air temperature from the sensor value during cooling. In formula (2), ρ is the density of air, Cp is the specific heat of air, and Vol is the supply air volume, which is a constant value.

[0036] The processing content of the equipment model of the air conditioner performs the calculations of (1) to (4), and when the calculation of (4) is completed, it returns to the calculation of (1). First, Q is calculated by formula (1). In the calculation of Q by formula (1), ΔT1 is obtained based on the information recorded in the operation data D3, and the capacity corresponding to ΔT1 is set as Q. Next, the Q obtained by formula (1) is substituted into formula (2) to calculate the supply air temperature that constitutes ΔT2. Next, Q is substituted into the left side of formula (3) to obtain the load factor. Then, from the relationship diagram between the load factor and the COP, the COP corresponding to the load factor calculated by formula (3) is obtained. Then, the Q obtained by formula (1) and the obtained COP are substituted into formula (4), and the left side of formula (4) is calculated as the power consumption corresponding to the current load factor. Note that the characteristics of the relationship diagram between the load factor and the COP are defined for each model of the air conditioner, and the relationship diagram between the load factor and the COP is determined by specifying the rated COP and the rated power consumption of the air conditioner in the equipment model of the air conditioner. Note that the relationship diagram between the load factor and the COP may be defined separately for cooling and heating. As the equipment model of the air conditioner, other simulation conditions such as the operation mode (cooling, heating, dry), the set temperature, and the set air volume are given.

[0037] The communication unit 21 is equipped with communication hardware such as a communication circuit that conforms to a predetermined communication standard, and communicates with each device connected to the network NW.

[0038] The display 22 is composed of elements such as liquid crystal, LED (Light Emitting Diode), and OLED (Organic LED). The display 22 displays various information according to the control of the control device 20.

[0039] The input unit 23 is equipped with an interface circuit that connects to devices such as operation switches, touch input panels, mice, and keyboards, detects the input operations of the planner P2, and outputs the detection results to the processor 200.

[0040] The processor 200 functions as a communication control unit 201 and a first display unit 202 by reading and executing the first program 221 stored in the memory 220. Also, the processor 200 functions as a first acquisition unit 203, a second acquisition unit 204, a third acquisition unit 205, a fourth acquisition unit 206, a determination unit 207, a fifth acquisition unit 208, a reception unit 209, and a second display unit 210 by reading and executing the second program 222 stored in the memory 220. The second display unit 210 is an example of the "output unit".

[0041] [1-1-2-1. Communication Control Unit] The communication control unit 201 communicates with the server device 3 via the communication unit 21. The communication control unit 201 transmits the design data D1 to the server device 3 and receives the calculation result data D2 from the server device 3.

[0042] [1-1-2-2. First Display Unit] When the communication control unit 211 receives the calculation result data D2, the first display unit 202 displays the calculation result indicated by the received calculation result data D2 on the display 22.

[0043] [1-1-2-3. First Acquisition Unit] The first acquisition unit 203 acquires the first reference primary energy consumption. The first acquisition unit 203 may acquire the first reference primary energy consumption from the calculation result indicated by the calculation result data D2 received by the communication control unit 201, or may acquire the first reference primary energy consumption from the formulator P2. In the case of the former acquisition method, the first acquisition unit 203 has previously grasped which energy consumption is the first reference primary energy consumption in the calculation result indicated by the calculation result data D2. In the case of the latter acquisition method, the first acquisition unit 203 causes the display 22 to display a screen for inputting the first reference primary energy consumption, and acquires the first reference primary energy consumption via the screen.

[0044] [1-1-2-4. Second Acquisition Unit] The second acquisition unit 204 acquires the second reference primary energy consumption. The second acquisition unit 204 acquires the second reference primary energy consumption by the same method as the first acquisition unit 203.

[0045] [1-1-2-5. Third Acquisition Unit] The third acquisition unit 205 acquires the first designed primary energy consumption. The third acquisition unit 205 acquires the first designed primary energy consumption by the same method as the first acquisition unit 203.

[0046] [1-1-2-6. Fourth Acquisition Unit] The fourth acquisition unit 206 acquires the second designed primary energy consumption. The fourth acquisition unit 206 acquires the second designed primary energy consumption by the same method as the first acquisition unit 203.

[0047] [1-1-2-7. Decision Unit] The determination unit 207 determines energy-saving measures to be taken for the building BL. The determination unit 207 determines, as energy-saving measures, at least one of an outdoor air control measure, a measure to improve the COP of the air conditioner, a measure to eliminate temperature unevenness, an air flow control measure, and a power reduction measure. Most of the energy-saving measures shown here are energy-saving measures not defined in WEBPRO31. In the present embodiment, specific measures for taking energy-saving measures are also presented. Details of this specific measure will be described in the detailed part of each energy-saving measure. In addition, for energy-saving measures not defined in WEBPRO31, the application effects of the energy-saving measures are shown using an energy simulator or an effect calculation formula. In the present disclosure, the following proposals for energy-saving measures are presented, and the final judgment on the application of the energy-saving measures is made by human judgment. Among the following, if energy-saving means that cannot implement energy-saving measures due to customer requirements, etc., or energy-saving means that have already been countermeasures and do not need to be presented are found in advance, the corresponding energy-saving measures may be systematically excluded and presented in advance. In FIGS. 6 and subsequent figures described later, examples of the above specific measures to be presented include a ventilation device equipped with a CO2 sensor, demand control, and pre-cooling control. Note that the present disclosure is not limited to these three energy-saving measures.

[0048] The outdoor air control measure is an energy-saving measure that reduces the load of the air conditioner by utilizing natural ventilation or restricting the amount of outdoor air introduced into the room. The outdoor air control measure is further subdivided into six measures: outdoor air cooling, switching between natural ventilation and a heat exchanger, ventilation stop, addition of a CO2 (carbon dioxide) sensor, addition of a humidity sensor, and addition of a humidity control function. In the present embodiment, as specific measures for taking the outdoor air control measure, at least one of the introduction of a ventilation device used for the outdoor air control measure and the confirmation of settings related to the outdoor air control measure is presented. Outdoor air cooling is an energy-saving measure that cools the interior using the outdoor air at night in summer. By doing so, outdoor air cooling utilizes the cool outdoor air at night in summer to cool the interior and achieve energy savings. The determination unit 207 determines outdoor air cooling as an energy-saving measure when the setting item for outdoor air cooling is not set in the design data D1. And in this embodiment, as a specific measure for outdoor air control, confirmation of the setting of outdoor air cooling in the design data D1 is presented and the confirmation is prompted. The switching between normal ventilation and the heat exchanger is an energy-saving measure that performs normal ventilation in spring and autumn, and ventilates using the heat exchanger in summer and winter. By doing so, the switching between normal ventilation and the heat exchanger achieves energy savings by utilizing normal ventilation to stop the heat exchange function in spring and autumn. The determination unit 207 determines the switching between normal ventilation and the heat exchanger as an energy-saving measure when the setting item for the switching between normal ventilation and the heat exchanger is not set in the design data D1. And in this embodiment, as a specific measure for outdoor air control, confirmation of the setting of the switching between normal ventilation and the heat exchanger in the design data D1 is presented and the confirmation is prompted. Ventilation stop is an energy-saving measure that stops ventilation when the air conditioner starts up. By doing so, ventilation stop achieves energy savings by reducing the amount of outdoor air introduced when the air conditioner starts up and reducing the processing load of the outdoor air of the air conditioner. The determination unit 207 determines ventilation stop as an energy-saving measure when the setting item for ventilation stop is not set in the design data D1. And in this embodiment, as a specific measure for outdoor air control, confirmation of the setting of ventilation stop in the design data D1 is presented and the confirmation is prompted. The addition of a CO2 sensor is an energy-saving measure that introduces a ventilation device equipped with a CO2 sensor. By doing so, the addition of a CO2 sensor restricts the ventilation volume to the minimum required by the CO2 sensor and reduces the amount of outdoor air introduced, thereby reducing the processing load of the air conditioner and achieving energy savings. In this embodiment, as a specific measure for outdoor air control, the introduction of a heat exchanger equipped with a CO2 sensor is presented and the introduction is prompted. The addition of a humidity sensor is an energy-saving measure that involves introducing a ventilation device equipped with a humidity sensor. By doing so, the addition of the humidity sensor aims to reduce the amount of outside air with a high latent heat load introduced by the humidity sensor, thereby reducing the processing load on the air conditioner and achieving energy savings. In this embodiment, as a specific measure for outside air control, the introduction of a heat exchanger equipped with a humidity sensor is presented as a specific measure for adding a humidity sensor, and such introduction is promoted. The addition of a humidity control function is an energy-saving measure that involves introducing a heat exchanger with a humidity control function. The addition of the humidity control function reduces the latent heat load by dehumidifying with a desiccant rotor or the like, which is the humidity control function. As a result, the processing load on the air conditioner is reduced, achieving energy savings. In this embodiment, as a specific measure for outside air control, the introduction of a heat exchanger equipped with a humidity control function is presented, and such introduction is promoted.

[0049] Measures to improve the COP of an air conditioner are energy-saving measures taken to improve the COP of the air conditioner. Generally, the operating efficiency of an air conditioner is poor in the low-load region and the high-load region, and good in the medium-load region. Therefore, operation in the medium-load region is desirable. Energy-saving measures are provided from this perspective. The measures to improve the COP of an air conditioner are further subdivided into six measures: improving the low-load COP, stopping operation at low load, suppressing operation at high load, suppressing the rotational speed of the compressor, controlling the number of outdoor units, and zoning. In this embodiment, as a specific measure for taking measures to improve the COP of an air conditioner, at least any one of the introduction of an air conditioner used for the measures to improve the COP of the air conditioner, the selection of a control device (e.g., the air conditioner main body, controller) used for the measures to improve the COP of the air conditioner, the setting content of this control device, and the confirmation of the settings related to the measures to improve the COP of the air conditioner is presented. The improvement of low-load COP is an energy-saving measure that controls the rotational speed of the compressor by controlling the evaporation temperature of the refrigerant in the air conditioner based on the indoor temperature and humidity measured by the indoor unit, the outdoor air treatment unit, etc. By controlling the evaporation temperature of the refrigerant, during low-load operation, the evaporation temperature is increased for operation, thereby improving the operation efficiency during low-load periods when the operation efficiency is poor. As a specific measure for improving low-load COP, a review is encouraged to determine whether the air conditioner has been selected from this perspective. Also, by introducing a ventilation device equipped with a humidity control function, the load on the air conditioner is reduced, and the high operation efficiency during low load can be utilized. Therefore, in this embodiment, as a specific measure for improving low-load COP, the introduction of a set of this type of air conditioner and a ventilation device (outdoor air treatment unit) equipped with a humidity control function is proposed, and such introduction is encouraged. The operation stop during low load is an energy-saving measure that stops the air conditioner when the operation during low load has been running for a certain period. This reduces the operation during low load with poor operation efficiency, thereby achieving energy savings. Referring to the information on the partial load characteristics (relationship diagram between the load ratio and COP of the air conditioner) of the selected model, the low-load region is identified, and the load ratio range for stopping the air conditioner is determined in advance and set in the controller. In this embodiment, as a specific measure for the operation stop during low load, the selection of the controller for controlling the air conditioner from this perspective is proposed, and the setting content for the controller is also proposed. The operation suppression during high load is an energy-saving measure that limits the upper limit of the capacity of the outdoor unit for a certain period. This reduces the operation during high load with poor operation efficiency, thereby achieving energy savings. Similar to the low-load case, referring to the information on the partial load characteristics, a load ratio range for restricting the operation of the outdoor unit in the high-load region is determined in advance based on the rated load ratio of the air conditioner and set in the controller. In this embodiment, as a specific measure for the operation suppression during high load, the selection of the controller for controlling the air conditioner from this perspective is proposed, and the setting content for the controller is also proposed. The rotational speed suppression of the compressor is an energy-saving measure that operates by reducing the rotational speed of the compressor by a certain margin. From the relationship diagram between the rotational speed and COP of the selected compressor model, with reference to the rated rotational speed of the compressor, the rotational speed at which the COP does not significantly decrease is identified, and the reduction range of the compressor's rotational speed is predetermined and set in the controller. In this embodiment, as a specific measure for rotational speed suppression of the compressor, the selection of a controller that controls the air conditioner from this perspective is presented, and the setting content for the controller is also presented. The outdoor unit number control is an energy-saving measure that controls the number of outdoor units to be operated according to the load of the indoor unit for a plurality of outdoor units that make up the air conditioner. For example, it is assumed for use in a multi-air conditioner (electric (EHP), gas (GHP), hybrid of EHP and GHP)) that can accommodate a plurality of indoor units with one outdoor unit. In this energy-saving measure, by controlling and using the number of outdoor units with smaller capacities according to the load amount rather than using one air conditioner with a large capacity, an improvement in COP during low-load and high-load periods is expected. In this embodiment, as a specific measure for outdoor unit number control, it is presented to confirm whether the selection of the air conditioner has been made from the perspective of unit number control, and such confirmation is urged. Also, the confirmation of the setting of the startup order of the outdoor units in the design data D1 is presented, and such confirmation is urged. The details of this setting content will be described when explaining Figure 7. Also, a controller for the air conditioner may be presented that improves the efficiency of the outdoor unit by preventing load concentration on a specific outdoor unit by uniformly controlling the loads of a plurality of outdoor units corresponding to one indoor space to increase the ratio of processing in the medium-load region. Zoning is an energy-saving measure that arranges outdoor units according to the load characteristics of each zone divided by zoning. A zone is, for example, a perimeter zone with strong solar radiation influence and an interior zone with weak solar radiation influence. Generally, when processing heat loads with different load characteristics using the same outdoor unit, the capacity of the air conditioner tends to increase, the operation in the low-load region increases, and the operation efficiency of the air conditioner decreases. When the load characteristics are different, it is desirable to process them with different outdoor units. As a specific measure for zoning in this embodiment, it is presented to confirm whether the facility design of the air conditioner has been carried out from the perspective of zoning, and such confirmation is urged.

[0050] Measures for eliminating temperature unevenness are energy-saving measures taken by eliminating indoor temperature unevenness. The measures for eliminating temperature unevenness are subdivided into four measures: installation of temperature sensors, use of floor temperature sensors, use of circulation, and louver control. In this embodiment, as a specific measure for eliminating temperature unevenness, a selection confirmation is presented as to whether an air conditioner having these viewpoints has been selected, and the said selection confirmation is promoted. The installation of temperature sensors is an energy-saving measure for preventing excessive temperature setting by installing temperature sensors around the people present indoors and controlling the air conditioner at a temperature close to the human body sensation. The installation of floor temperature sensors is an energy-saving measure for suppressing overcooling during cooling with the floor temperature sensor of the indoor unit and detecting and eliminating indoor temperature unevenness during heating by the difference between the floor temperature sensor of the indoor unit and the suction temperature sensor of the indoor unit. Temperature unevenness refers to a phenomenon in which warm air accumulates near the ceiling and the area near the floor is cold during heating, impairing the comfort of the occupants. It is an energy-saving measure for detecting temperature unevenness and eliminating indoor temperature unevenness by means of circulation or the like to prevent excessive temperature setting. The specific energy-saving measure method by circulation is a method for detecting temperature unevenness by comparing the suction temperature of the air conditioner with the floor temperature sensor and eliminating the temperature unevenness during heating by means of flap control of the indoor unit or a ceiling fan. Similarly, louver control is an energy-saving measure in which the indoor unit detects temperature unevenness in the indoor space and performs louver control in the up, down, left, and right directions.

[0051] The airflow control measure is an energy-saving measure in which a human presence sensor of the indoor unit detects a person, and during cooling, an airflow is made to flow around the person or the person so as to lower the body sensation temperature of the person. Thereby, energy saving is realized without lowering the set temperature of the air conditioner during cooling. In this embodiment, as a specific measure for the airflow control measure, a selection confirmation is presented as to whether an air conditioner having this viewpoint has been selected, and the said selection confirmation is promoted.

[0052] Power reduction measures are energy-saving measures that reduce power consumption. Power reduction measures are subdivided into three measures: demand control, peak power suppression of outdoor units, and decentralization of precooling and preheating control. By these approaches, it is possible to suppress the annual peak power, and by preventing the main power of a building with high-voltage bulk power reception from exceeding the contract power, it is possible to prevent an increase in electricity costs. In this embodiment, a review is prompted as to whether energy-saving measures are being taken from this perspective. As specific measures for the review, a control device (e.g., demand control device, controller) and the setting contents for the control device are presented. The specific setting contents will be described later after FIG. 6. Demand control is an energy-saving measure that automatically controls devices such as air conditioners and lighting with a demand control device so that the main power of a building does not exceed a predetermined power value. For example, it is possible to suppress the annual peak power by performing demand control so that the main power of a building with high-voltage bulk power reception does not exceed the contract power. Peak power suppression of outdoor units is an energy-saving measure that limits the upper limit of the capacity of outdoor units. Among the controls applied by a demand control device, peak power suppression of outdoor units is used as one of the air conditioning control methods. The targets of the automatic control of demand control also include restrictions on the set temperature of indoor units and control of the illuminance of lighting. Note that energy-saving measures may be simply taken by suppressing only the peak power of outdoor units with a controller or the like without using a demand control device. Thereby, it is possible to suppress the annual peak power. Decentralization of precooling and preheating control is an energy-saving measure that decentralizes the start timing of air conditioners. Specifically, in order to improve the comfort of the thermal environment at the start of business, starting air conditioners at the same time before the start of business (precooling and preheating control) tends to generate a power peak. By decentralizing the start timing of air conditioners, it is possible to suppress the annual peak power.

[0053] The determination unit 207 of this embodiment determines energy-saving measures with reference to the facility information J12 of the design data D1. Note that in this disclosure, a proposal for energy-saving measures is presented from the system, and the final judgment on the application of energy-saving measures is made by human judgment.

[0054] For example, when a ventilation device is selected as the air conditioning equipment 4 in the equipment information J12 of the design data D1, the determination unit 207 determines, as a specific energy-saving measure to be taken for the building BL, the addition of a CO2 sensor, that is, the introduction of a ventilation device equipped with a CO2 (carbon dioxide) sensor.

[0055] Also, for example, when a ventilation device is selected as the air conditioning equipment in the equipment information of the design data D1, the determination unit 207 determines, as a specific energy-saving measure to be taken for the building BL, the addition of a humidity sensor, that is, the introduction of a ventilation device equipped with a humidity sensor.

[0056] Also, for example, regardless of the content of the equipment information J12 of the design data D1, the determination unit 207 determines demand control of the air conditioning equipment 4 as a specific energy-saving measure to be taken for the building BL.

[0057] Also, for example, when the execution of precooling and preheating by the air conditioning equipment 4 is not selected in the equipment information J12 of the design data D1, the determination unit 207 determines the execution of precooling and preheating by the air conditioning equipment 4 as a specific energy-saving measure to be taken for the building BL.

[0058] [1-1-2-8. Fifth acquisition unit] The fifth acquisition unit 208 acquires the predicted energy consumption. The predicted energy consumption is the annual energy consumption of the air conditioning equipment 4 planned to be introduced into the building BL, and is also the energy consumption when the energy-saving measures determined by the determination unit 207 are taken for the building BL. The fifth acquisition unit 208 inputs the energy-saving measures determined by the determination unit 207 and the design data D1 into the simulation model indicated by the simulation model data 223, and acquires the predicted energy consumption from this simulation model.

[0059] [1-1-2-9. Reception unit] The reception unit 209 receives the operation of the planner P2 via the input unit 23.

[0060] [1-1-2-10. Second Display Unit] The second display unit 210 causes the display 22 to display various types of information. The various types of information that the second display unit 210 causes the display 22 to display will be described with reference to the drawings in the description of the operation of the terminal device 2 with reference to the flowchart.

[0061] [1-2. Operation] Next, the operation of the terminal device 2 in the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the terminal device 2. The operation of the terminal device 2 shown in FIG. 3 is the operation in the above-described task 5. At the start point of the flowchart shown in FIG. 3, the terminal device 2 has received the calculation result data D2 from the WEBPRO 31. Also, in the flowchart shown in FIG. 3, the design data D1 transmitted to the server device 3 to obtain the calculation result data D2 is stored in the memory 220.

[0062] As shown in FIG. 3, the second display unit 210 determines whether to start the diagnosis of the energy consumption amount (step S1). When the reception unit 209 receives an operation to start the diagnosis of the energy consumption amount, the second display unit 210 makes an affirmative determination in step S1. As described above, the diagnosis of the energy consumption amount is a diagnosis as to whether the energy consumption amount of the entire facility 1 planned to be introduced into the building BL may exceed the first facility primary energy consumption amount during the actual operation stage of the facility 1.

[0063] When the second display unit 210 determines not to start the diagnosis of the energy consumption amount (step S1: NO), the determination in step S1 is made again.

[0064] On the other hand, when the second display unit 210 determines to start the diagnosis of the energy consumption amount (step S1: YES), the first acquisition unit 203 acquires the first reference primary energy consumption amount (step S2). Step S2 corresponds to an example of the "first acquisition step".

[0065] Next, the second acquisition unit 204 acquires the second reference primary energy consumption (step S3). Step S3 corresponds to an example of the "second acquisition step".

[0066] Next, the third acquisition unit 205 acquires the first designed primary energy consumption (step S4). Step S4 corresponds to an example of the "third acquisition step".

[0067] Next, the fourth acquisition unit 206 acquires the second designed primary energy consumption (step S5). Step S5 corresponds to an example of the "fourth acquisition step".

[0068] Note that the processes of steps S2 - S5 may be performed in an order different from the order shown in FIG. 3, or may be performed simultaneously.

[0069] Next, the second display unit 210 calculates the first ratio (step S6). The first ratio is the ratio of the first designed primary energy consumption to the first reference primary energy consumption. In step S6, the second display unit 210 calculates the first ratio by dividing the first designed primary energy consumption acquired in step S4 by the first reference primary energy consumption acquired in step S2.

[0070] Next, the second display unit 210 determines whether the first ratio calculated in step S6 is less than a first predetermined value (step S7). Here, the first predetermined value compared with the first ratio is a value greater than "0.0" and less than or equal to "1.0", for example, "1.0".

[0071] When the second display unit 210 determines that the first ratio calculated in step S6 is not less than the first predetermined value (step S7: NO), the first screen G1 is displayed by the display 22 (step S8).

[0072] FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the first screen G1. As shown in FIG. 4, the first screen G1 has a prompting message J1. The prompting message J1 is information for prompting a review of the facility 1 scheduled to be introduced into the building BL. In FIG. 4, the prompting message J1 is a character string that says, "The design primary energy consumption of the entire facility exceeds the reference primary energy consumption of the entire facility. Please review the facility scheduled to be introduced into the building."

[0073] On the other hand, when it is determined that the first ratio calculated in step S6 is less than the first predetermined value (step S7: YES), the second display unit 210 calculates the second ratio (step S9). The second ratio is the ratio of the second design primary energy consumption to the second reference primary energy consumption. In step S9, the second display unit 210 calculates the second ratio by dividing the second design primary energy consumption acquired in step S5 by the second reference primary energy consumption acquired in step S3.

[0074] Next, the second display unit 210 determines whether the second ratio calculated in step S9 is less than the second predetermined value (step S10). Here, the second predetermined value compared with the second ratio is a value greater than "0.0" and less than or equal to "1.0". The second predetermined value may be the same as or different from the first predetermined value. Also, the second predetermined value may be a value corresponding to the scale of the building BL (for example, large scale, medium scale, small scale, etc., and the building scale classification defined by the gross floor area of the building), the location of the building BL (for example, the regional classification to which the building belongs as defined in WEBPRO), the use of the building BL (for example, office, hotel, store), etc.

[0075] When the second display unit 210 determines that the second ratio calculated in step S9 is less than the second predetermined value (step S10: YES), the second screen G2 is displayed by the display 22 (step S11). Step S11 corresponds to an example of the "second output step".

[0076] FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the second screen G2. As shown in FIG. 5, the second screen G2 has first notification information J2. The first notification information J2 is information notifying that in the actual operation stage of the facility 1 planned to be introduced into the building BL, the possibility that the total energy consumption of the entire facility 1 planned to be introduced into the building BL is lower than the first designed primary energy consumption is low. In FIG. 5, the first notification information J2 is a character string of "When the facility is in operation, the total energy consumption of the entire facility is likely to be lower than the designed primary energy consumption of the entire facility."

[0077] Returning to the description of FIG. 3, when the second display unit 210 determines that the second ratio calculated in step S9 is equal to or greater than the second predetermined value (step S10: NO), the determination unit 207 determines an energy-saving measure (step S12). Step S12 corresponds to an example of a "determination step".

[0078] Next, the fifth acquisition unit 208 acquires the predicted energy consumption based on the energy-saving measure determined in step S12 (step S13). In step S13, the fifth acquisition unit 208 acquires the predicted energy consumption for each energy-saving measure determined in step S12.

[0079] Next, the second display unit 210 displays the third screen G3 on the display 22 (step S14). Step S14 corresponds to an example of a "first output step".

[0080] FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the third screen G3. As shown in FIG. 6, the third screen G3 has second notification information J3. The second notification information J3 is information notifying that in the actual operation stage of the facility 1 planned to be introduced into the building BL, there is a possibility that the total energy consumption of the entire facility 1 planned to be introduced into the building BL exceeds the first designed primary energy consumption. In FIG. 6, the second notification information J3 is a character string of "When the facility is in operation, the total energy consumption of the entire facility may exceed the designed primary energy consumption of the entire facility."

[0081] Also, as shown in FIG. 6, the third screen G3 has recommended information J4. The recommended information J4 is information that recommends taking energy-saving measures for the building BL. In FIG. 6, the recommended information J4 is a character string that says, "It is recommended to take the following energy-saving measures for the building."

[0082] Also, as shown in FIG. 6, for each energy-saving measure, the third screen G3 has type information J5, effect information J6, and initial investment amount information J7.

[0083] The type information J5 is information indicating the type of specific measures for energy-saving measures. In FIG. 6, each of the character strings "Introduction of a ventilation device with a built-in CO2 sensor", "Introduction of demand control", and "Introduction of pre-cooling execution" is the type information J5. The effect information J6 is information indicating the energy-saving effect obtained when energy-saving measures are taken for the building BL. In FIG. 6, each of the character strings "15% reduction", "10% reduction", and "5% reduction" is the effect information J6. The initial investment amount information J7 is information indicating the initial investment amount when energy-saving measures are taken for the building BL. In FIG. 6, each of the character strings "50,000", "100,000", and "None" is the initial investment amount information J7.

[0084] Also, as shown in FIG. 6, the third screen G3 has setting method guidance information J8. The setting method guidance information J8 is information that guides the destination for confirming the setting method of demand control. Note that specific information on the setting method of demand control includes, for example, information such as the outdoor unit that performs demand control, the upper limit capacity value, and the period of demand control. Also, when the third screen G3 shows the introduction of pre-cooling execution as an energy-saving measure it recommends, the setting method guidance information J8 is also information that guides the destination for confirming the setting method of pre-cooling execution. Also, when the third screen G3 shows the introduction of pre-heating execution as an energy-saving measure it recommends, the setting method guidance information J8 is also information that guides the destination for confirming the setting method of pre-heating execution.

[0085] When the second display unit 210 displays the third screen G3, it executes the following process. For each energy-saving measure determined in step S12, the second display unit 210 acquires the initial investment amount when taking the energy-saving measure for the building BL. For example, assume that the memory 220 stores correspondence data indicating the correspondence between the types of energy-saving measures and the initial investment amounts. In this case, for each energy-saving measure determined in step S12, the second display unit 210 acquires the initial investment amount from this correspondence data. Also, for example, the second display unit 210 refers to the design data D1, inputs parameters such as the number of units and unit prices of the equipment into the approximate formula, and then acquires the initial investment amount by performing calculations using the approximate formula.

[0086] In addition, for each energy-saving measure determined in step S12, the second display unit 210 compares the predicted energy consumption calculated by the energy simulator (step S13) or the effect approximate formula with the first design primary energy consumption acquired in step S4, and acquires the comparison result as the energy-saving effect. For example, the second display unit 210 performs the calculation of "((first design primary energy consumption - predicted energy consumption) / first design primary energy consumption)×100%", and acquires the degree of reduction in energy consumption indicated by the calculation result as the energy-saving effect.

[0087] When calculating based on the effect approximate formula, for example, assuming the ventilation reduction effect due to the introduction of a CO2 sensor, estimate the annual reduction amount of the outside air introduction load, and thereby show the energy-saving effect from the reduction amount of the air-conditioning power consumption. Furthermore, in the case of demand control, estimate the reduction amount of the contract power of the high-voltage lump-sum power reception from the assumed peak power reduction amount, and show the energy-saving effect. In addition, for the decentralization of pre-cooling and heating control, since it is possible to avoid a plurality of air conditioners starting simultaneously at the start time and suppress the peak power, the energy-saving effect may be shown from the perspective of the contract power in the same way as demand control.

[0088] Next, for each energy-saving measure determined in step S12, the second display unit 210 includes the type information J5, the effect information J6 indicating the obtained energy-saving effect, and the initial investment amount information J7 indicating the obtained initial investment amount on the third screen G3. Further, when at least one of the introduction of pre-cooling execution and the introduction of pre-heating execution is included in the energy-saving measure determined in step S12, the second display unit 210 includes setting method guidance information J8 for guiding the confirmation destination of the setting method of at least one of the introduction of pre-cooling execution and the introduction of pre-heating execution on the third screen G3. Note that the specific setting method is, for example, setting instruction information such as the indoor unit for setting pre-cooling or pre-heating, the pre-cooling start time, the business start time, and the set temperature at the business start time.

[0089] [1-3. Effects, etc.] As described above, the planner support method for supporting the planner P2 who formulates the introduction plan for introducing the facility 1 into the building BL includes a first acquisition step of acquiring the first reference primary energy consumption, which is the reference primary energy consumption of the entire facility 1 to be introduced into the building BL. Further, the planner support method includes a second acquisition step of acquiring the second reference primary energy consumption, which is the reference primary energy consumption of the air conditioning facility 4 to be introduced into the building BL. Further, the planner support method includes a third acquisition step of acquiring the first designed primary energy consumption, which is the designed primary energy consumption of the entire facility 1 to be introduced into the building BL. Further, the planner support method includes a fourth acquisition step of acquiring the second designed primary energy consumption, which is the designed primary energy consumption of the air conditioning facility 4 to be introduced into the building BL. Further, the planner support method includes a first output step. In the first output step, when the first ratio of the first designed primary energy consumption to the first reference primary energy consumption is less than the first predetermined value and the second ratio of the second designed primary energy consumption to the second reference primary energy consumption is equal to or greater than the second predetermined value, it is output that the energy consumption of the entire facility 1 to be introduced into the building BL may exceed the first designed primary energy consumption during the actual operation stage of the facility 1 to be introduced into the building BL.

[0090] According to this, even when the design primary energy consumption of the entire facility 1 is lower than the reference primary energy consumption of the entire facility 1, if the design primary energy consumption of the air conditioning facility 4 is equal to or higher than the reference primary energy consumption of the air conditioning facility 4, the planner P2 of the introduction plan can grasp that the energy consumption of the entire facility 1 in the actual operation stage of the facility 1 may exceed the first design primary energy consumption. Therefore, even when the design primary energy consumption of the entire facility 1 is lower than the reference primary energy consumption of the entire facility 1, if the design primary energy consumption of the air conditioning facility 4 is equal to or higher than the reference primary energy consumption of the air conditioning facility 4, the planner P2 can obtain an opportunity to review the facility 1 scheduled for introduction, and can formulate an introduction plan in which the energy consumption of the entire facility 1 in the actual operation stage of the facility 1 does not exceed the first design primary energy consumption. Therefore, the planner P2 of the introduction plan for introducing the facility 1 into the building BL can be appropriately supported.

[0091] The first output step outputs, together with a recommendation to take at least one energy-saving measure, such as an outside air control measure, a measure to improve the COP of the air conditioner, a measure to eliminate temperature unevenness, an air flow control measure, and a power reduction measure, in the building BL.

[0092] According to this, at the time of formulating the introduction plan, the planner P2 can obtain an opportunity to consider the energy-saving measures to be taken in the building BL. Therefore, it becomes possible to formulate a plan other than the introduction plan that can suppress the energy consumption of the entire facility 1 in the actual operation stage of the facility 1 from exceeding the first design primary energy consumption, and the planner P2 can be further supported at the time of formulating the introduction plan.

[0093] The first design primary energy consumption is the first design primary energy consumption calculated by WEBPRO31 based on the air conditioning facility information regarding the air conditioning facility 4 scheduled to be introduced into the building BL. The planner support method further includes a determination step of determining an energy-saving measure based on the air conditioning facility information used by WEBPRO31 to calculate the first design primary energy consumption. The first output step outputs a recommendation to take the energy-saving measure determined by the determination step in the BL building.

[0094] According to this, since the energy-saving measures are determined based on the information used to calculate the primary energy consumption of the first design, it is possible to determine the energy-saving measures considering the air-conditioning equipment 4 planned to be introduced into the building BL. Therefore, it is possible to present useful energy-saving measures to the planner P2 and more appropriately support the planner P2 when formulating the introduction plan.

[0095] The first output step further outputs specific measures for taking energy-saving measures. When the energy-saving measure is an outdoor air control measure, the specific measure indicates at least either the introduction of a ventilation device used for the outdoor air control measure or the confirmation of the settings related to the outdoor air control measure. When the energy-saving measure is a measure to improve the COP of the air conditioner, the specific measure indicates at least either the introduction of an air conditioner used for the COP improvement measure of the air conditioner, the selection of a control device used for the COP improvement measure of the air conditioner, the setting content of this control device, or the confirmation of the settings related to the COP improvement measure of the air conditioner. When the energy-saving measure is a measure to eliminate temperature unevenness, the specific measure indicates the selection confirmation of the air conditioner used for the measure to eliminate temperature unevenness. When the energy-saving measure is an air flow control measure, the specific measure indicates the selection confirmation of the air conditioner used for the air flow control measure. When the energy-saving measure is a power reduction measure, the specific measure indicates the control device used for the power reduction measure and the setting content of this control device.

[0096] According to this, since the specific measures of the energy-saving measures are presented, it is easy for the planner P2 to understand what specific measures should be taken to implement the energy-saving measures. Therefore, it is possible to more appropriately support the planner P2 when formulating the introduction plan.

[0097] The specific measure for taking the outdoor air control measure is the introduction of a ventilation device equipped with a CO2 sensor.

[0098] According to this, the planner P2 can grasp that there is an introduction of a ventilation device equipped with a CO2 sensor as an energy-saving measure. Therefore, the planner P2 can specifically grasp the energy-saving measures, and can more appropriately support the planner P2 when formulating the introduction plan.

[0099] Specific measures for taking external air control measures are the introduction of a humidity sensor for reducing the latent heat load and a ventilation device equipped with a humidity control function.

[0100] According to this, the planner P2 can grasp that there is an introduction of a ventilation device equipped with a humidity sensor and a humidity control function as an energy-saving measure. Therefore, the planner P2 can specifically grasp the energy-saving measures, and can more appropriately support the planner P2 when formulating the introduction plan.

[0101] The planner support method includes a fifth acquisition step of acquiring a predicted energy consumption amount, which is a predicted value of the energy consumption amount of the air conditioning equipment 4 planned to be introduced into the building Bl when energy-saving measures are taken for the building BL. The first output step outputs the comparison result between the second designed primary energy consumption amount and the predicted energy consumption amount as an energy-saving effect when energy-saving measures are taken for the building BL.

[0102] According to this, since the planner P2 can easily grasp the effect of the energy-saving measures, the planner P2 when formulating the introduction plan can be more appropriately supported.

[0103] The first output step outputs the initial investment amount required when energy-saving measures are taken for the building BL.

[0104] According to this, it is possible to easily grasp how much initial investment is required to take energy-saving measures, so the planner P2 when formulating the introduction plan can be more appropriately supported.

[0105] The planner support method includes a second output step of outputting that when the first ratio is less than the first predetermined value and the second ratio is less than the second predetermined value, in the actual operation stage of Facility 1 planned to be introduced into Building BL, the energy consumption of the entire Facility 1 planned to be introduced into Building BL is likely to be less than the first designed primary energy consumption.

[0106] According to this, when the designed primary energy consumption of the entire Facility 1 is less than the reference primary energy consumption of the entire Facility 1 and the designed primary energy consumption of the air conditioning Facility 4 is less than the reference primary energy consumption of the air conditioning Facility 4, it can be grasped that the planner P2 of the Facility 1 planned to be introduced does not need to review the Facility 1. Therefore, the planner P2 of the introduction plan for introducing Facility 1 into Building BL can be supported more appropriately.

[0107] A planner support system 1000 that supports a planner P2 of an introduction plan for introducing a facility into Building BL includes a first acquisition unit 203 that acquires a first reference primary energy consumption, a second acquisition unit 204 that acquires a second reference primary energy consumption, a third acquisition unit 205 that acquires a first designed primary energy consumption, a fourth acquisition unit 206 that acquires a second designed primary energy consumption, and a second display unit 210. When the first ratio between the first designed primary energy consumption and the first reference primary energy consumption is less than the first predetermined value and the second ratio between the second designed primary energy consumption and the second reference primary energy consumption is greater than or equal to the second predetermined value, the second display unit 210 outputs that in the actual operation stage of Facility 1 planned to be introduced into Building BL, the energy consumption of the entire Facility 1 planned to be introduced into Building BL may exceed the first designed primary energy consumption.

[0108] According to this, the same effect as the above-described planner support method is achieved.

[0109] The second program 222 causes the processor 200 of the terminal device 2 that supports the formulation of an introduction plan for introducing facilities into the building BL to function as a first acquisition unit 203 that acquires the first reference primary energy consumption, a second acquisition unit 204 that acquires the second reference primary energy consumption, a third acquisition unit 205 that acquires the first designed primary energy consumption, a fourth acquisition unit 206 that acquires the second designed primary energy consumption, and a second display unit 210. When the first ratio of the first designed primary energy consumption to the first reference primary energy consumption is less than the first predetermined value and the second ratio of the second designed primary energy consumption to the second reference primary energy consumption is greater than or equal to the second predetermined value, the second display unit 210 outputs that the energy consumption of the entire facility 1 planned to be introduced into the building BL may exceed the first designed primary energy consumption during the actual operation stage of the facility 1 planned to be introduced into the building BL.

[0110] According to this, the same effects as the above-described method for supporting the formulator are achieved.

[0111] (Embodiment 2) Next, Embodiment 2 will be described. Compared with Embodiment 1, in Embodiment 2, the content of the third screen G3 is different from that in Embodiment 1. Regarding other configurations and operations, Embodiment 2 is the same as Embodiment 1.

[0112] FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the third screen G3 in Embodiment 2. The third screen G3 in Embodiment 2 further has recommended information J9 in addition to the content of the third screen G3 in Embodiment 1. The recommended information J9 is information that recommends a review of the air conditioning facility information used by WEBPRO31 for calculation. In FIG. 7, the recommended information J9 is a character string "We recommend reviewing the information regarding the air conditioning facilities input during the calculation by WEBPRO." In the third screen G3 in the second embodiment, when reviewing the air conditioning equipment information, items to be reviewed may be listed. Examples of such items include the capacity of the air conditioner, the startup order of outdoor units in the control of the number of outdoor units for air conditioning with multiple outdoor units, the presence or absence of simultaneous heating and cooling supply, the air volume of the indoor unit (which air volume among weak, strong, rapid, and automatic is assumed), the air volume control method of the indoor unit (which air volume between constant air volume and rotational speed air volume control is assumed), the aforementioned control method of the ventilation device having a total heat exchanger, and the like. These items may be shown in the form of extracting all or part from the items that can be input regarding the air conditioning equipment 4 among the design data D1 input to the WEBPRO31. It may also be presented that the startup order of the outdoor units can be determined based on any one of the rated capacity values of cooling / heating of the outdoor units, the rated power consumption of cooling / heating, and the rated COP of cooling / heating. It may also be supported so that it can be calculated and comparatively evaluated by the WEBPRO31 to determine which startup order results in higher energy efficiency.

[0113] As described above, the first designed primary energy consumption acquired in the third acquisition step is the first designed primary energy consumption calculated by the WEBPRO31 based on the air conditioning equipment information regarding the air conditioning equipment 4 planned to be introduced into the building BL. The first output step outputs a recommendation to review the air conditioning equipment information used by the WEBPRO31 for calculation when the first ratio is less than the first predetermined value and the second ratio is greater than or equal to the second predetermined value.

[0114] According to this, at the time of formulating the introduction plan, the formulator P2 can obtain an opportunity to review the air conditioning equipment information used in the calculation by the WEBPRO31. Therefore, it is possible to support the formulator P2 at the time of formulating the introduction plan so as to suppress the energy consumption of the entire equipment 1 in the actual operation stage of the equipment 1 from exceeding the first designed primary energy consumption.

[0115] (Other embodiments) As described above, as examples disclosed in the present application, the above-described Embodiments 1 and 2 have been explained. However, the technology in the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and can also be applied to embodiments with changes, replacements, additions, omissions, etc. Further, it is also possible to combine the respective components described in the above-described Embodiments 1 and 2 to form a new embodiment. Therefore, other embodiments will be exemplified below.

[0116] In the above-described embodiment, the output modes of each of the "first output step" and the "second output step" are display. In other embodiments, at least one of these output steps may have other output modes such as print output. When the output mode is print output, the "output unit" may be a printing device capable of communicating with the terminal device 2 instead of a functional unit of the terminal device 2.

[0117] Generally, a building called ZEB (Net Zero Energy Building) is known. There are four types of ZEBs defined, each with a reduction rate and building type defined. For the evaluation of ZEB, BEI is used in the same way as the Building Energy Conservation Law. BEI is calculated using the building energy consumption performance calculation program published by the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology. When BEI ≤ 0.50 excluding renewable energy, it is determined as ZEB Ready. When 0.00 < BEI ≤ 0.25 due to the introduction of renewable energy, it is determined as Nearly ZEB. When BEI ≤ 0.00, it is determined as ZEB. In addition, ZEB Oriented, which is an easy-to-follow criterion for large-scale buildings, has been newly established. Thus, in the evaluation of ZEB, the evaluation method of the Building Energy Conservation Law is used. Note that regardless of whether it is a newly constructed or existing building, as long as the building meets the conditions, it is possible to achieve ZEB. Since WEBPRO31 is also used for ZEB, the present disclosure is also applicable to ZEB. In addition, upon receiving the ZEB certification, the selection requester P1 may receive a subsidy from the administrative agency handling the subsidy. In this case, the selection requester P1 submits an application to the administrative agency for receiving the subsidy from the selector P2. When submitting this application, the selection requester P1 submits, among other things, the design data D1 input to WEBPRO31 and the calculation results of WEBPRO31 (such as the design primary energy consumption of the entire facility / each facility, BEI, etc.) reported by the selector P1. Then, after the building BL is constructed, the selection requester P1 reports the annual energy consumption to the administrative agency, and if the reported energy consumption does not exceed the application value, the repayment of the given subsidy is waived. That is, consistency is required between the actual measurement in the actual operation stage (annual power consumption of the entire facility) and the calculation results of WEBPRO31 in the planning stage (annual design primary energy consumption of Facility 1). In addition, in this other embodiment, although the case where the selection requester P1 can obtain permission for the subsidy from the administrative agency is exemplified, the predetermined entity for which the selection requester P1 can obtain a predetermined permission is not limited to the administrative agency, and the predetermined permission that the selection requester P1 can obtain is not limited to the permission for the subsidy payment.

[0118] In addition, in the above other embodiment, the selection requester P1 may be an ESCO (Energy Service Company) operator. That is, the "planner support method, planner support system, and program" of the present disclosure may be applied to the ESCO business. The ESCO business is a business in which the ESCO operator makes the investment necessary to achieve energy conservation and receives a part of the realized energy conservation effect as a reward from the customer. In the case of this other embodiment, when the planner P2 makes an operation plan for the ESCO operator or the ESCO operator, and the power consumption of the entire building BL is below a predetermined standard, the ESCO operator receives a reward from the customer.

[0119] In the above-described embodiment, the case where the planner P2 and the selection requester P1 are different entities is exemplified, but the planner P2 and the selection requester P1 may be the same entity.

[0120] Although the present disclosure has been described with respect to non-residential buildings, in the housing field, ZEH (Net Zero Energy House) has been defined in the same way as ZEB. Although the target devices and criteria are different, the present invention can be applied to the housing field with the same concept.

[0121] The processor 200 may be constituted by a single processor or may be constituted by a plurality of processors. The processor 200 may be hardware programmed to realize corresponding functional units. That is, these processors may be constituted by, for example, an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) or an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array).

[0122] The configuration of the terminal device 2 shown in FIG. 2 is an example, and the specific implementation form is not particularly limited. That is, it is not necessarily the case that hardware corresponding to each part is individually mounted, and it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which one processor executes a program to realize the functions of each part. Further, in the above-described embodiments, a part of the functions realized by software may be implemented as hardware, or a part of the functions realized by hardware may be realized by software.

[0123] The step units of the operations shown in FIG. 3 are divided according to the main processing contents in order to facilitate understanding of the operations, and the operations are not limited by the method of dividing the processing units and the names. Depending on the processing contents, it may be further divided into more step units. Also, one step unit may be divided so as to include more processes. Further, the order of the steps may be appropriately changed within the scope not hindering the spirit of the present disclosure.

[0124] Note that the above-described embodiments are for exemplifying the technology in the present disclosure, and various changes, replacements, additions, omissions, etc. can be made within the scope of the claims or their equivalents.
