To make it possible to effectively control facility devices under demand-response control, a control apparatus (30) comprises a receiving unit (36d), a demand response unit (36i), a power consumption fluctuation unit (36a), a fluctuation-amount-estimation unit (36f), and an adjustment control execution unit (36h). The receiving unit (36d) receives a demand pertaining to power consumption from an energy management apparatus. The demand response unit (36i) executes demand-response control in accordance with the demand, when the demand is received by the receiving unit (36d). Demand-response control involves adjusting the total power consumption of a plurality of facility devices set up in a property. The power consumption fluctuation unit (36a) executes non-demand-response control. Non-demand-response control involves causing the total power consumption to fluctuate regardless of the demand. The fluctuation-amount-estimation unit (36f) estimates the power consumption that will fluctuate due to the non-demand-response control during the demand-response control. The adjustment control execution unit (36h) executes adjustment control. Adjustment control involves adjusting the power consumption of any facility device among the plurality of facility devices, on the basis of the estimated fluctuation amount. The estimated fluctuation amount is the amount of fluctuation in power consumption as estimated by the fluctuation-amount-estimation unit. |
