Claim 0:
1. An air conditioning system for performing air conditioning of a house by transferring air conditioned in an air-conditioned room, the air conditioning system comprising:
transfer fans for transferring the air to rooms that are spaces in the house from the air-conditioned room;
room motion sensors for detecting whether each of the rooms is occupied or unoccupied; and
an air conditioning system controller for controlling each of the transfer fans,
wherein the air conditioning system controller includes:
a first target air conditioning environment obtaining section for obtaining at least a target air conditioning temperature of each of the rooms;
an occupied-room air conditioning environment controlling section for determining whether a room is occupied or unoccupied according to information from the room motion sensor and controlling a transfer fan that transfers the air to an occupied room that is determined as being occupied among the rooms so that an air conditioning environment of the occupied room is approximated to the first target air conditioning environment; and
an unoccupied-room air conditioning environment controlling section for determining whether the room is occupied or unoccupied according to the information from the room motion sensor and controlling a transfer fan that transfers the air to an unoccupied room that is determined as being unoccupied among the rooms so that an air conditioning environment of the unoccupied room is approximated to a second target air conditioning environment where an energy burden is lower than an energy burden of the first target air conditioning environment for the occupied room,
wherein the unoccupied-room air conditioning environment controlling section changes the second target air conditioning environment of the unoccupied room according to an adjacent spatial distance from the occupied room and,
the adjacent spatial distance is a value indicating how many accessible spaces exist between the occupied room and the unoccupied room.
