Air conditioning equipment operation system and air conditioning equipment designing support system
First Claim
1. An air conditioning equipment operation system in which air conditioning equipment provided in a contract site is operated by a service provider company, wherein the service provider company has a control server, said system comprising a device information database storing a device characteristic data of an air conditioner constituting the air conditioning equipment, a fuel or electricity rate database storing rate data of at least one of gas, oil and electric power, and an air conditioning equipment simulator for obtaining a partial load factor, and at least one of power consumption and fuel consumption during partial load running by using the device characteristic data and a cycle simulator, and for calculating running costs from the obtained power consumption and/or fuel consumption by using the rate data, wherein the contract site includes an air conditioning equipment management controller provided to manage and control the air conditioning equipment;
- the control server and the air conditioning equipment management controller are connected to each other through a network;
the control server predicts a cooling load from predictable time series data on a temperature and humidity of outside air by referring to the device information database to make an operation plan of the air conditioner; and
the air conditioning equipment management controller operates the air conditioner in accordance with the operation plan; and
wherein the air conditioning equipment simulator calculates running costs for each operation of the air conditioner, and makes operation plan data by an operation method having lowest running costs among the calculated running costs.

Abstract
A control server includes a device information database storing device characteristic data constituting the air conditioning equipment, a fuel/power rate database storing price and rate data regarding gas, oil, power and the like, a device characteristic and price database, an air conditioning equipment simulator for calculating running costs by using the data stored in the fuel/power rate database, and communication portion for performing communications through a network. The control server, and an air conditioning management controller for managing and controlling the air conditioning equipment provided with the communication portion for performing communications through the network, are connected to the network. An operation plan is made by the control server, the operation plan is transmitted to the air conditioning equipment management controller for controlling the air conditioning equipment through the network, and the air conditioning equipment is controlled and operated according to the operation plan.
