Abstract:
1. An air conditioning control device for obtaining and controlling data on an air conditioner including a plurality of indoor units, the air conditioning control device comprising: a data retrieval component configured to retrieve operating data on the air conditioner, the operating data including power consumption data for each of the indoor units; a data collection component configured to collect the operating data at prescribed periods; an analysis component configured to analyze the operating data of each indoor unit; an analyzed results display component configured to display the analyzed data; a power consumption countermeasure table configured to associate the analyzed data with countermeasures to reduce power consumption; and an extraction component configured to extract the countermeasures to reduce power consumption from the power consumption countermeasure table based on the analyzed data in order to reduce power consumption of the air conditioner, the analyzed results display component being further configured to display the countermeasures to reduce power consumption, the operating data including change frequency data and changed time range data, the change frequency data including a counted number of times target air conditioning temperature settings have been changed when indoor units are air conditioning an indoor area, and the changed time range data including actual changes in the air condition temperature settings the data collection component being further configured to associate the change frequency data and the changed time range data to obtain change frequency data by time range for each indoor unit, the analysis component being further configured to select a certain number of indoor units with a larger change frequency than a remainder of the indoor units based on the change frequency data by time range, and the analyzed results display component being further configured to display the change frequency data by time range for the indoor units that have been selected by the analysis component.
