AIR CONDITIONER, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AIR CONDITIONER AND CONTROL PROGRAM

To provide proper air cleaning operation in accordance with presence/absence of an organism in an air conditioning space.SOLUTION: An air conditioner (1) includes: a cleaning unit (40) for cleaning air in an air conditioning space; an organism determination unit (12) for determining whether an organism is present or absent in the air conditioning space; and a mode control unit (11) for controlling the cleaning unit (40) to operate in an operation mode with an air cleaning capacity that is lower than an operation mode that is applied when determining that an organism is absent, when determining that an organism is present.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】被空調空間における生体の存否に応じた適切な空気清浄化動作を実現する。【解決手段】空気調和機（１）は、被空調空間の空気を清浄化する清浄化部（４０）を備え、被空調空間に生体が存在するか否かを判定する生体判定部（１２）と、生体が存在すると判定された場合、生体が存在しないと判定された場合に適用する動作モードよりも空気清浄化力の低い動作モードで清浄化部（４０）を動作させるモード制御部（１１）と、を備えている。【選択図】図１
