  • Patent number: 10352581
    Abstract: A control apparatus controls a facility device and is used in an energy consumption management system that grants an incentive to a user of the facility device when the facility device performs an adjustment of energy consumption for an adjustment period in response to an adjustment request. The control apparatus includes an incentive standard setting unit, a comfort standard setting unit, an incentive prediction calculation unit, a comfort prediction calculation unit, a control condition change unit, and a control unit. The control condition change unit determines whether incentive and comfort predictions are within ranges of incentive and comfort standards, and changes a preset control condition when there is variation in a derivation element of the incentive during the adjustment period. The control unit controls the facility device based on the control condition changed by the control condition change unit after the variation has occurred in the derivation element.

  • Patent number: 10268171
    Abstract: A demand response control result presentation apparatus is used in an energy consumption amount management system granting an incentive to a user of a facility device when the facility device performs a demand response control to adjust an energy consumption amount in response to a control request. The demand response control result presentation apparatus is configured to present a control result of the demand response control performed by the facility device. The demand response control result presentation apparatus includes a control result acquiring unit configured to acquire information relating to the control result, an incentive amount acquiring unit configured to acquire information relating to an amount of the incentive, and a control result presentation unit configured to present the control result. The control result corresponds to a variation in the amount of the incentive in a predetermined period.
