Abstract

Provided is an indoor unit for an air conditioner buried in a ceiling and including a heat exchanger with respect to an indoor space defined by a bottom surface, the ceiling, and a plurality of wall surface, including: a front panel where a suction part suctioning air of the indoor space; a discharge hole placed on at least one side of the suction part and discharging heat-exchanged air from the heat exchanger; an opening member provided movably to selectively open the discharge hole; a distance sensing unit sensing at least one of a distance up to the bottom surface from the front panel or the indoor unit and a distance up to the wall surface from the indoor unit; and a controller controlling the opening degree of the opening member based on a sensing result sensed by the distance sensing unit.
