Abstract:
1. An air-conditioning control device that controls a plurality of air-conditioners disposed at different locations within a predetermined living room space, the air-conditioning control device comprising: a memory that stores location information for each air-conditioner; a distance calculator that calculates, among the plurality of air-conditioners, respective distances between an already-set air-conditioner for which a control order has already been set and remaining air-conditioners for which the control order has yet to be set, wherein the control order is for energy-saving control that controls respective air-conditioners for a predetermined time to reduce power consumption and wherein the respective distances are calculated based on the location information stored in the memory; a control order setter that sets, based on the distances calculated by the distance calculator, the control order for each air-conditioner in such a way that time spans for performing the energy-saving control in respective sections of the living room space are balanced; and a control executer that repeatedly executes the energy-saving control on each air-conditioner in accordance with the control order set by the control order setter, wherein the control order setter repeats a process of obtaining a proximity order of the remaining air-conditioners relative to the already-set air-conditioner based on the calculated distances, and selecting, as a next control-target, the air-conditioner with the proximity order corresponding to a predetermined proportion of a number of the remaining air-conditioners until all air-conditioners have been selected as control-targets.
