CONTROL METHOD AND CONTROL DEVICE FOR AIR CONDITIONER

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a control method or a control device for an air conditioner, which is capable of controlling a control object, such as an energy, a cost or an environmental load, delicately in accordance with the purpose of use and capable of providing amenity. SOLUTION: A PMV curve and present values of an objective space for air conditioning are obtained employing a temperature and a humidity as initial variables. Subsequently, the initial variables are converted into the variables of energy mode to obtain the PM curve and present values in the variables. Thereafter, the position of an objective point, positioned on the PMV curve and approximated to the present value, is obtained. Subsequently, amounts of change in the temperature and the humidity from the present value to the objective point are obtained respectively. Thereafter, commands are outputted to the air conditioner in accordance with the amounts of change in the temperature and the humidity.
