Abstract
A group management apparatus manages, as a plurality of groups, numerous installation devices installed in a plurality of buildings. The group management apparatus includes an acquiring component, a summarizing component and a screen generating component. The Acquiring component acquires operating data of the numerous installation devices via controllers. The controllers are placed in the buildings and control the numerous installation devices inside the buildings. The summarizing component summarizes, per group, operating data values that are values represented by the operating data. The screen generating component generates a screen in which results, with respect to the plurality of groups, of the operating data values having been summarized by the summarizing component are juxtaposed.
Claims18
A group management apparatus configured to manage, as a plurality of groups, numerous installation devices installed in a plurality of buildings, the group management apparatus comprising:
- an acquiring component configured to acquire operating data of the numerous installation devices via controllers, the operating data being indicative of at least current operating conditions, each of the current operating conditions being one of energy-intensive consumption and temperature deviation, the controllers being placed in the buildings and controlling the numerous installation devices inside the buildings;
- a summarizing component configured to
- summarize collective operating data values of the plurality of groups of installation devices, each collective operating data value being indicative of a collective current operating condition of each respective group,
- compare the collective operating data values of the plurality of groups with each other, and
- judge whether or not the collective operating data value of each group meets a predetermined condition, the predetermined condition being met by one of the collective operating data values of a respective group being equal to or greater than a threshold value;
- and
- a screen generating component configured to generate a screen in which results, with respect to the plurality of groups, of the collective operating data values having been summarized by the summarizing component are juxtaposed.
A group management system configured to manage, as a plurality of groups, numerous installation devices installed in a plurality of buildings, the group management system comprising:
- controllers placed in the buildings and controlling the numerous installation devices installed inside the buildings;
- and
- a group management apparatus connected to the controllers and managing the numerous installation devices as groups via the controllers, the group management apparatus including
- an acquiring component configured to acquire operating data of the numerous installation devices via the controllers, the operating data being indicative of at least current operating conditions, each of the current operating conditions being one of energy-intensive consumption and temperature deviation,
- a summarizing component configured to
- summarize collective operating data values of the plurality of groups of installation devices, each collective operating data value being indicative of a collective current operating condition of each respective group,
- compare the collective operating data values of the plurality of groups with each other, and
- judge whether or not the collective operating data value of each group meets a predetermined condition, the predetermined condition being met by one of the collective operating data values of a respective group being equal to or greater than a threshold value, and
- a screen generating component configured to generate a screen in which results, with respect to the plurality of groups, of the collective operating data values having been summarized by the summarizing component are juxtaposed.
A group management method of managing, as a plurality of groups, numerous installation devices installed in a plurality of buildings, the group management method comprising:
- acquiring operating data of the numerous installation devices via controllers, the operating data being indicative of at least current operating conditions, each of the current operating conditions being one of energy-intensive consumption and temperature deviation, the controllers being placed in the buildings and controlling the numerous installation devices inside the buildings;
- summarizing collective operating data values of the plurality of groups of installation devices, each collective operating data value being indicative of a collective current operating condition of each respective group;
- comparing the collective operation data values of the plurality of groups with each other;
- judging whether or not the collective operating data value of each group meets a predetermined condition, the predetermined condition being met by one of the collective operating data values of a respective group being equal to or greater than a threshold value;
- and
- generating a screen in which results, with respect to the plurality of groups, of the collective operating data values having been summarized are juxtaposed.
A group management program configured to be executed in a computer to manage, as a plurality of groups, numerous installation devices installed in a plurality of buildings, the group management program comprising:
- acquiring operating data of the numerous installation devices via controllers, the operating data being indicative of at least current operating conditions, each of the current operating conditions being one of energy-intensive consumption and temperature deviation, the controllers being placed in the buildings and controlling the numerous installation devices inside the buildings;
- summarizing collective operating data values that are values of the plurality of groups of installation devices, each collective operating data value being indicative of a collective current operating condition of each respective group;
- comparing the collective operating data values of the plurality of group with each other;
- judging whether or not the collective operating data value of each group meets a predetermined condition, the predetermined condition being met by one of the collective operating data values of a respective group being equal to or greater than a threshold value;
- and
- generating a screen in which results, with respect to the plurality of groups, of the collective operating data values having been summarized are juxtaposed.
