Abstract

A heat quantity displaying device displays the state of supply of a heat quantity from air-conditioning equipment to a subject space that is subject to air-conditioning control. The heat quantity displaying device includes a heat quantity display that displays substantially simultaneously on a screen at least a range of heat quantities that can be supplied by the air-conditioning equipment to the subject space, and a heat quantity currently are required by the subject space.

Claims

1. A heat quantity displaying device for displaying the state of supply of a heat quantity from air-conditioning equipment to a subject space that is subject to air-conditioning control, comprising:

a heat quantity display that displays substantially simultaneously on a screen at least a range of heat quantities that can be supplied by the air-conditioning equipment to the subject space, and a heat quantity currently are required by the subject space.

2. The heat quantity displaying device as set forth in claim 1, wherein:

the heat quantity display displays, substantially simultaneously on a screen, the quantity of heat currently supplied by the air-conditioning equipment to the subject space, in addition to the range of heat quantities that can be supplied by the air-conditioning equipment to the subject space, and the heat quantity currently are required by the subject space.

3. The heat quantity displaying device as set forth in claim 1, wherein:

the heat quantity display defines, as individuals subject spaces, each of a plurality of zones into which a large space is divided.

4. The heat quantity displaying device as set forth in claim 3, wherein:

the heat quantity display displays a heat quantity, for each individual zone, together with the positional relationships of the zones.

5. The heat quantity displaying device as set forth in claim 1, wherein:

the heat quantity display displays separately a heat quantity required for heating and a heat quantity required for cooling.

6. The heat quantity displaying method for displaying the state of supply of a heat quantity from air-conditioning equipment to a subject space that is subject to air-conditioning control, comprising:

a heat quantity displaying step for displaying substantially simultaneously on a screen at least a range of heat quantities that can be supplied by the air-conditioning equipment to the subject space, and a heat quantity currently are required by the subject space.

7. The heat quantity displaying method as set forth in claim 6, wherein:

the heat quantity displaying step displays, substantially simultaneously on a screen, the quantity of heat currently supplied by the air-conditioning equipment to the subject space, in addition to the range of heat quantities that can be supplied by the air-conditioning equipment to the subject space, and the heat quantity currently are required by the subject space.

8. The heat quantity displaying method as set forth in claim 6, wherein:

the heat quantity displaying step defines, as individuals subject spaces, each of a plurality of zones into which a large space is divided.

9. The heat quantity displaying method as set forth in claim 8, wherein:

the heat quantity displaying step displays a heat quantity, for each individual zone, together with the positional relationships of the zones.

10. The heat quantity displaying method as set forth in claim 6, wherein:

the heat quantity displaying step displays separately a heat quantity required for heating and a heat quantity required for cooling.
