CALCULATION DEVICE, CALCULATION METHOD, AND PROGRAM

A calculation apparatus includes a first acquisition unit that acquires a first approximation expression based on a change in a temperature of a temperature controlled member with respect to a change in an outside temperature measured for a plurality of temperatures of a temperature controlling member, a second acquisition unit that obtains a second approximation expression based on the first approximation expression, a temperature input unit that receives input of a first set temperature of the temperature controlled member and a second set temperature of the temperature controlling member, a generation unit that substitutes the second set temperature into the second approximation expression to generate a third approximation expression representing relationship between the outside temperature and the temperature of the temperature controlled member, and a calculation/output unit that substitutes the first set temperature into the third approximation expression to calculate an outside temperature to be set.
