Abstract: 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.
