Air conditioning system and air conditioning method

摘要

The present invention adjusts the discharge rate or discharge direction of air-conditioned air discharged from the discharge openings of air conditioners (301 to 308) according to the occupancy rates of work areas in the air-conditioned regions of the air conditioners (301 to 308). In this way, the work areas are intensively air-conditioned and the aisles and the space where cabinets and multifunctional machines are provided are moderately air-conditioned. Consequently, creating a comfortable environment around the users working in the work areas and reduce the energy consumption required for air-conditioning is possible.

主权项

1. An air conditioning system, comprising:
at least one of discharge rate adjuster and angle adjuster based on an occupancy ratio of user work areas to an air-conditioned region defined for a space, the occupancy ratio being obtained from position information on an air conditioner and position information on the user work areas pre-defined in the space; multiple discharge openings disposed in the space to be air-conditioned and discharging air-conditioned air; and a discharge rate calculator calculating, for each of the discharge openings, the discharge rate of the air-conditioned air discharged from the discharge opening according to the occupancy ratio of user work areas to the air-conditioned region assigned to the discharge opening; wherein the discharge rate adjuster adjusts, based on the occupancy ratio of the user work areas to the air-conditioned region defined for the space, a discharge rate of an air-conditioned air discharged to the air-conditioned region, the angle adjuster adjusts, based on the occupancy ratio of the user work areas to the air-conditioned region defined for the space, an angle of a discharge direction of the air-conditioned air, and the discharge rate adjuster adjusting the discharge rates of the air-conditioned air discharged from the discharge openings based on the calculation results of the discharge rate calculator, wherein the air-conditioned region, from which the occupancy ratio is obtained: corresponds to an individual discharge opening of the air conditioner, and is based on (i) a shape of the individual discharge opening, (ii) discharge direction information of the individual discharge opening, and (iii) distance of air-conditioned air which is discharged from the individual discharge opening.
