1 Visualization of Energy Consumption Using Cloud-based Computing and it s Applications - Implementations in Green University of Tokyo Project - CiMX Corporation CEO Takahide Nakajima

2 Agenda Background issues and solutions Developing a common understanding concerning the definition of wasted energy consumption. Visualization method of wasted energy Applying the method of defining wasted energy in a university facility Importance of GUI Ease of use Enables continuous use System configuration Demonstration (movie clip)

3 Background issues and solutions Initial Issues Unable to see energy consumption Unable to judge proper consumption Unable to deploy conservation measures Solutions Visualizing energy consumption and wasted energy in real time. Visualizing the method of determining wasted energy

4 Four methods of defining wasted energy consumption Time management method Analysis of consumption by facility operation hours Judging electricity use by a pre-determined facility working hours. i.e. operation hours, schedule, meeting room reservations etc. Baseline method Analysis of consumption by a pre determined amount for each hour Judging consumption by comparing it to a predetermined amount (baseline). When consumption exceeds a predetermined amount a warning is issued and the amount is notified. Equipment Status method Finding consumption originating in unnecessary use of equipments Showing the ratio of equipment operating status in four classifications: [running],[standby],[off],[overload] An equipment will consume energy even when it is in [standby] or [off] status. Benchmark method Analysis by comparison with targets or similar entities Showing the differences in consumption with a other predetermined entity. examples are: 1. Comparison with top runner 2. Comparison with similar industry 3. comparison with own previous data 4. Comparison with target amount

5 Implementation to a University Location Professor office, Faculty rooms Class rooms Seminar,Lecture and meeting rooms Server room, Research rooms A Research room B Method used in finding wasted energy Determined by operation hours Time management method Determined by schedule Time management method Determined by schedule Time management method Comparison to similar environment Bench mark method Determined by usage Operation status method

6 Cloud based system System configuration U.S Patent Japan Patent GUTP Common Database Diagnostic method for analyzing power consumption of electrical equipment Equipment operating status information system using electrical consumption waveform CiMX Web application server Open Standard protocol ESP Dragon UL certified Measurement devices electricity gas temp. etc Sensor Network Data Measurement devices electricity gas temp. etc Activiti ESP Dragon Gamenics

7 Various analysis functions Time management operation start operation end Baseline Baseline Consumed amount holiday Excess use of energy Excess use of energy Analysis of consumption by facility operation hours Equipment status Analysis of consumption by a predetermined amount for each hour Benchmark comparison with own previous data current estimation Target Summarizes the operation status of each equipment in following 4 statuses [overload] [running] [standby] [off] comparison with top runner Finding consumption originating in unintended use of equipments Comparison with top runner, similar industry, own previous data, or target

8 Various visualization elements Trends 48 hour graphs for easy trend comparison. Percentages and monthly summary display. Estimated Excess Usage Ranking Graphs shown in consumed amount ranking Time span see data in Day, month, year time spans Esitmated Excess Usage ratio Graphs See data in Line graphs and bar graphs 45% Categories View data in Kw Co2 Kg-CO2 and electric bills CO2 Electric bill Printing Function for printing screen image. XML reporting Report download function which generates report in xml format. Multi-Language Switch English and Japanese mode in one click. Downloadable repots are also multi-language. Working hours and non working hours.

9 Next generation GUI Gamenics Gamenics applied products Gamenics is a method of designing software with intuitive, easy to understand, efficiently designed user interfaces, for a better user experience used in the gaming industry. Intuitive and fun to use interfaces Core elements Intuitive application GUI design Intuitive interface, manual free operation Story design / plot Pre- designed story for achieving target Self motivating learning curve Multiple stages of Learning mechanism Advantages of Gamenics Self motivating and persistent Participation Nintendo DS and Wii Car navigation systems Home appliances Gain interest and enthusiasm before setting target Story branching according to user level Green University of Tokyo Project Demo software Facility diagram / layout screen Used in many products Energy Administrator assigned for each section of floor Interpretation of joy upon achieving targets Gamenics for achieving target Room diagram and consumption for each Target setting screen equipment in the room Eco point screen
