Abstract
An air-conditioning control system (1) has a server (3). The server (3) is capable of communicating with an air conditioner (2) via a network such as the Internet. The server (3) can obtain weather report data (4) via a network such as the Internet. The server (3) includes a memory (storage unit) storing a plurality of operation control tables for determining a method of operation of the air conditioner (2); a control unit that selects an operation control table by using the weather report data (4); and a transmission unit (communication interface) that sends the operation control table selected by the control unit to the air conditioner (2).
Claims18
An air-conditioning control system comprising:
- a storage unit storing a plurality of operation control tables for determining a method of operation of an air conditioner;
- a control unit that selects one of the operation control tables by using prediction data concerning weather, and
- a transmission unit that sends the operation control table selected by the control unit to the air conditioner.
An air-conditioning control system comprising:
- a storage unit storing a plurality of operation control tables for determining a method of operation of an air conditioner;
- a receiving unit that receives information of an outside temperature and a room temperature of a place where the air conditioner is installed;
- a control unit that selects one of the operation control tables by using prediction data concerning weather, and produces a control signal for controlling a method of operation of the air conditioner, the control signal being produced according to the selected operation control table and the information of the outside temperature and the room temperature;
- and
- a transmission unit that sends the control signal to the air conditioner.
An air-conditioning control system comprising:
- a receiving unit that receives prediction data concerning weather information;
- a heat pump cycle that includes a compressor for compressing a heat carrier, an inside heat exchanger, an expansion value for decompressing the heat carrier, and an outside heat exchanger;
- a storage unit storing a plurality of operation control tables for determining a method of operation of the heat pump cycle;
- and
- a control unit that selects an operation control table stored in the storage unit by using the prediction data, and controls operation of the heat pump cycle by using the selected operation control table.
