If the accumulated value Vd1f' is equal to or greater than the reference value Vc, it is assumed that the amount of activity of the occupant in the room being air-conditioned is large, and the air volume sent out by the indoor fan 5 is set to be large. At the same time, the blowing temperature is controlled to be low, so that a sufficient cooling state can be obtained (S9).

This utilizes the phenomenon that the amount of infrared radiation from a resident's body is larger than the amount of infrared radiation from the surrounding environment. If a resident is present, the system detects their location, and also detects the resident's activity status based on temporal changes in the resident's location, and controls the air conditioning to provide appropriate air conditioning conditions according to the resident's activity status.
