Abstract
An air-conditioning system according to the present invention includes plural air-conditioning apparatuses which air-condition the same space, and a controller which includes a communication unit, a data collection unit and a determination unit. The communication unit communicates with the plural air-conditioning apparatuses via a communication line. The data collection unit collects air-conditioning data including information indicating an air-conditioning efficiency from each of the plural air-conditioning apparatus via the communication unit. The determination unit determines one of the air-conditioning apparatuses which has the lowest air-conditioning efficiency, as a low-efficiency air-conditioning apparatus, based on the collected air-conditioning data, reduces the load on the low-efficiency air-conditioning apparatus, and causes one or ones of the plural air-conditioning apparatuses which are other than the low-efficiency air-conditioning apparatus, to bear an amount of load by which the load on the low-efficiency air-conditioning apparatus is reduced.
