Solution Overview
Problem
Existing air-conditioning control systems face challenges in accurately reaching target temperatures due to variations in heat storage states of building walls, leading to discomfort and increased energy costs, as they often rely solely on indoor and outdoor temperatures without considering thermal insulation and heat storage factors.
Innovation Solution
A control program and apparatus that calculate cooling capacity and thermal insulation information based on outdoor and room temperatures, and history data to switch between operation modes, adjusting the pre-cooling or pre-heating timing to account for heat storage and dissipation effects, thereby optimizing air-conditioning control.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If air-conditioning control is performed based solely on indoor and outdoor temperatures, then the control system remains simple, but the accuracy of reaching target temperature deteriorates due to unaccounted heat storage and dissipation effects
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary cooling or heating operations before the target time based on predicted heat storage and dissipation characteristics of the building. By calculating thermal insulation information and cooling capacity in advance, the system determines optimal pre-cooling/pre-heating timing and intensity, ensuring the target temperature is reached at the specified time rather than relying on simple temperature-based control.
2Use of energy by moving object
If pre-cooling or pre-heating operations are performed without considering heat storage states, then energy consumption increases due to extended operation periods, but the control logic remains simple
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the pre-cooling or pre-heating operation timing and intensity based on real-time thermal insulation information and cooling capacity calculations. By continuously monitoring temperature differences between indoor and outdoor environments and adjusting operational parameters accordingly, the system optimizes energy consumption while accounting for the building's heat storage and dissipation dynamics.
3Loss of time
If the air-conditioning system operates without thermal insulation information, then the operation mode switching is simple, but the timing accuracy of reaching target temperature deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system calculates thermal insulation information by comparing actual temperature changes with expected changes based on outdoor temperature variations. This feedback mechanism allows the system to learn and adapt to the building's thermal characteristics over time, improving the accuracy of pre-cooling/pre-heating timing decisions and reducing the time to reach target temperature while maintaining manageable operational complexity.

AI summary
A recording medium stores a control program for causing a computer to execute a process including: calculating cooling capacity information and thermal insulation information, based on an outdoor temperature, a room temperature of a space subjected to air-conditioning, and history information regarding an operation of an air-conditioning apparatus that performs air-conditioning control in the space, the cooling capacity information being regarding a capacity of the air-conditioning apparatus for cooling the space, the thermal insulation information being regarding a thermal insulation state of the space from outside; and switching, when the air-conditioning apparatus performs air conditioning in the space, based on the outdoor temperature and the room temperature, an operation mode between a first operation mode in which the operation is performed based on the cooling capacity information and a second operation mode in which the operation is performed based on the cooling capacity information and the thermal insulation information.
