Abstract
In an air-conditioning system that divides a room to be air-conditioned into a plurality of areas and controls air-conditioning of each of the plurality of areas, a set temperature of an occupied area in which somebody is present is determined as a target temperature of the occupied area. Target temperatures of unoccupied areas in which nobody is present are determined such that the air-conditioning mode set for the occupied area weakens stepwise from an adjacent area located next to the occupied area toward a distal area located farthest from the occupied area.
