Abstract(in English) In recent years, the use of AI techniques for controlling building facilities has begun to be proposed. In the future, buildings will be equipped with not only air conditioners but also solar panels, storage batteries, and a variety of other power equipment, and it is expected that machine learning can be used to control them efficiently. However, there have been few studies on how to control multiple targets simultaneously, or on complex situations in which electrical equipment in multiple buildings is controlled simultaneously. In this study, we set up a situation where there are multiple buildings and each building has air-conditioning equipment, solar panels, and storage batteries. As a machine learning method, we propose a method that uses reinforcement learning for each building and federated learning for the whole system by aggregating the information from multiple building models. In order to verify the performance of the proposed method, we conducted experiments to control the set temperature of air conditioners in each building on a simulator, and confirmed that the performance of the proposed method was improved by using federated learning in multiple buildings.
