  • Publication number: 20220309212
    Abstract: An acquisition unit (21) acquires a simulation period indicating an object period for which simulations of amounts of energy consumption in a building are to be done, a parallel number indicating the number of the simulations that are to be performed in parallel, and a holiday condition indicating nonoperating days of an air conditioning system installed in the building. A planning unit (22) splits the simulation period into the parallel number to generate split periods. The planning unit (22) splits the simulation period into the parallel number so that starting days of the split periods other than an initial split period may be the nonoperating days indicated by the holiday condition. A simulation unit (23) does the simulations of the amounts of energy consumption in the building in parallel, for the split periods.

  • Patent number: 11029052
    Abstract: In an operation control device (10), a plan selection unit (15) determines, at a time point midway through a time zone where an operation of an air conditioner (54) is controlled along one control plan among a plurality of control plans, whether a weather change pattern corresponding to the one control plan deviates from an actual weather change pattern, based on weather data. If deviates, the plan selection unit (15) selects a weather change pattern that is different from the weather change pattern corresponding to the one control plan, from among a plurality of weather change patterns, in accordance with the weather data. During a rest of the time zone, the plan selection unit (15) controls the operation of the air conditioner (54) along a control plan corresponding to the different weather change pattern, among the plurality of control plans.

  • Patent number: 8332823
    Abstract: There is provided a means to perform a source-level verification by a third-party organization in a shorter time, while preventing leakage of technology and know-how of an ISV (Independent Software Vendor). An AP (Application Program) verification system is composed of an AP development site and a verification organization connected via a network. An API-in-use (Application Program Interface-in-use) extracting functionality extracts information relating to the API (Application Program Interface) used in a source code. The encryption functionality encrypts the source code. The API-in-use set and the encrypted source code are transmitted to the verification organization by the AP transmitting functionality. The API-in-use validity checking functionality of the verification organization verifies the validity of the API being used. If the API being used is valid, the digital signature functionality provides a digital signature to the encrypted source code.
