<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an energy demand management device that makes it possible to minimize an energy supply cost in a distributed energy community. <P>SOLUTION: The cooperative control unit 44C of the energy demand management device 44 detects that an actual energy consumed has exceeded a threshold value, when an estimated energy consumed is taken as the threshold value, in a period of time at 9:50, for example. In the other periods of time, it controls all the load devices for which a customer's permission for cooperative control (permission for remote control) is registered beforehand in a load information database 44B so that the energy consumed is reduced. For example, it controls the set temperature of air-conditioning equipment, the brightness of lighting equipment, and the like so that the energy consumed is reduced. At this time, the energy consumed per unit time, average operating time, control history, and the like of each load device, are taken into account. Thus, the energy consumed is lowered, and errors are reduced. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
