Claim:
1. A controlling method, comprising: determining a target value of a temperature of a processing unit included in an information processing system when first power consumption, which is a total sum of second power consumption of the processing unit and third power consumption of an air-conditioning machine included in the information processing system, indicates a relatively low power consumption by using correlation information corresponding to at least one of a measured temperature and a measured load among a plurality of pieces of correlation information corresponding to a plurality of ranges of at least one of a temperature outside the information processing system and a load of the processing unit, each of the plurality of pieces of correlation information indicating a change in the first power consumption with respect to a change in the temperature of the processing unit; and controlling the air-conditioning machine on the basis of the target value.
