POWER-SAVING DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM

摘要

Disclosed is a power-saving diagnostic system provided with: an electric power sensor which measures the amount of electric power consumed by an electrical appliance; an equipment controller which receives measurement results from the electric power sensor and transmits the electric power information and appliance information from the appliance to a central server; and the central server which is configured so as to be able to communicate with the equipment controller via a network. The central server has a server-side communication unit which can communicate with the equipment controller, and a simulation unit. The simulation unit: selects a different electrical appliance of the same type as the aforementioned electrical appliance as a candidate appliance from an appliance information database which stores appliance related information including types associated with a plurality of electrical appliances, said selection being made on the basis of the appliance information from the aforementioned electrical appliance received from the equipment controller; receives electrical power information and appliance information for the aforementioned electrical appliance from the equipment controller; requests the operating status of the aforementioned electrical appliance on the basis of the electric power information of the appliance; and simulates the amount of electric power consumed if the operating status would be applied to the candidate appliance.
