Abstract
An air-conditioning management apparatus includes: a storage unit that stores a schedule including a set time and a set temperature; a communication processing unit that communicates with the air-conditioning apparatus and receives operation status information including a heat medium temperature; and a controller that performs a schedule control to control the air-conditioning apparatus according to the schedule. The schedule control includes an optimal start-up control to control the air-conditioning apparatus such that an indoor space temperature reaches the set temperature at the set time, by starting an operation of the air-conditioning apparatus before the set time. The controller performs a preheating control or a precooling control to control the heat source unit such that before the optimal start-up control is started, the heat medium temperature included in the operation status information obtained from the air-conditioning apparatus falls within a target range including a previously set target heat medium temperature.
