A central control apparatus includes: a controller that performs control over facilities or equipment; and a display unit that displays information processed by the controller on the screen, wherein the central control apparatus further includes a communication unit that communicates with a meteorological office server, and the controller includes: a data collection module that collects predicted environmental data about a target control area through the communication unit; a system setting module that sets information about at least one facility within the target control area; and an energy usage simulation module that models the facility based on based on the facility information and simulates the power consumption of the facility model according to a control scenario, the energy usage simulation module including an energy reduction calculation module for calculating the energy reduction of the facility or target control area based on a simulation result of the power consumption of the facility model according to a combination of at least one control scenario.

Central control apparatus for controlling facilities, facility control system comprising the same, and facility control method

A central control apparatus may include a controller that includes a control program that when executed collecting data to obtain predicted environmental data including weather information about a target control area, setting information based on the collect data about at least one facility within the target control area, and simulating energy usage to generate a facility model based on the collected data of the at least one facility information and simulating power consumption of the facility model according to a control scenario. Additionally, the simulating of the energy usage may include determining energy reduction of the facility or target control area based on a simulation result of the power consumption of the facility model according to a combination of at least one control scenario, and determining the combination of at least one control scenario based on the energy reduction rate input through the input unit.
