Abstract:
1. An air conditioning control device adapted to collectively control operation of an indoor unit group including a plurality of indoor units of an air conditioner installed in a single space, the air conditioning control device comprising: an operating-unit specifying unit configured to specify an operating unit from the indoor units included in the indoor unit group, the operating unit performing an air conditioning operation; an adjacent-unit specifying unit configured to specify an adjacent unit from the indoor units included in the indoor unit group, the adjacent unit being adjacent to the operating unit, and the adjacent unit having a first mode in which the adjacent unit functions as an adjacent unit and a second mode in which the adjacent unit functions as another operating unit which performs a cooling or heating operation; an operating-unit control unit configured to cause the operating unit to perform the air conditioning operation; and an adjacent-unit control unit configured to cause the adjacent unit to perform an air flow generating operation to generate an air flow that inhibits air conditioned by the air conditioning operation of the operating unit from diffusing from an air conditioning target space forming a portion of the single space and which is targeted by the air conditioning operation of the operating unit.
