A determination section of a sleep control apparatus determines an awakening point based on target data. The target data is time-series data of biological information of a target person in a target period. The target period is a period between wakefulness to failing asleep of the target person, or a period from the wakefulness of the target person to a time point at which a predetermined time has passed since the target person fell asleep. The controller controls a target device so that the target device stimulates the target person to wake up at the awakening point.

Sleep control apparatus

An energy control device adjusts an amount of energy consumed by mechanical equipment placed at a property. The energy control device includes a first control unit and a second control unit. The first control unit executes a first adjustment control during a prescribed adjustment period. The first adjustment control adjusts an amount of energy consumed by the mechanical equipment in order to respond to a prescribed event. The second control unit executes a second adjustment control separate from the first adjustment control during a non-adjustment period after the adjustment period.

Energy control device and energy control system equipped with the energy control device

An energy management system includes an energy management apparatus configured to mange energy supplied to equipment devices of a plurality of buildings, and a control apparatus configured to control the equipment devices in the buildings. The energy management apparatus is located superordinate to the buildings. The control apparatus is connected to the energy management apparatus. The control apparatus includes an operating status perceiving unit configured to perceive operating status of the equipment devices, and a reducing capability presentation unit configured to present a plurality of energy reducing capabilities for at least one condition to the energy management apparatus. The energy reducing capabilities are amounts of energy that can be reduced for the equipment devices based on the operating status perceived.
