An air-conditioning control device (4) controls a plurality of air-conditioners (indoor devices) disposed at different locations within a predetermined living room space. A data manager (40) stores location information (82) for each air-conditioner (indoor device). A distance calculator (51) calculates a distance between respective air-conditioners (indoor devices) based on the location information (82). A control order setter (52) sets, based on the distance between respective air-conditioners (indoor devices) calculated by the distance calculator (51), a control order of each air-conditioner (indoor device) on which energy-saving control is to be performed in such a way that time spans for performing the energy-saving control that controls respective air-conditioners (indoor devices) for a predetermined time to suppress power consumption in respective sections of the living room space are balanced. The control executer (53) repeatedly executes the energy-saving control on each air-conditioner (indoor device) in accordance with the control order set by the control order setter (52).

An air-conditioning control device according to an embodiment controls air conditioning in an air-conditioning zone by using a plurality of types of air conditioners each having a different air supply system. A setting unit sets air-conditioning load distribution of the air conditioners based on optimal load distribution functions generated based on models of the air conditioners so that total energy consumption of the air conditioners is reduced within a range of comfort of the air-conditioning zone set by a user. An output unit outputs, based on the load distribution set by the setting unit, control values for controlling the air conditioners to control devices of the air conditioners.

False determination in the presence or absence of a person in a in a room is limited. An air conditioner (20) suspends an air conditioning operation if a room (10) is vacant. If at least one of motion detectors (50), each provided to one of the indoor units (40), starts to detect the presence of a person during suspension of the air conditioning operation, an indoor controller (45) of an indoor unit (40a) sums, for each of the motion detectors (50), time periods in which the presence of the person is detected to obtain a detection time period sum. If any one of detection time period sums, each for one of the motion detectors (50), reaches a reference value (T2) within a predetermined time period (T3), the outdoor controller (37) causes the air conditioner (20) to resume the air conditioning operation.
