Abstract

An air conditioning control apparatus for controlling an air conditioner in a room which accommodates a computer, includes obtaining repetitively a detected value of a total power consumption of the computer and the air conditioner and a detected value of a air temperature at the air inlet, storing the obtained values into a memory, determining an approximate expression representing a relation between the total power consumption and the air temperature on the basis of the values stored into the memory, determining a value of the air temperature corresponding to the lowest value of the total power consumption, by using the calculated approximate expression, and controlling the air conditioner so that the air temperature become equal the calculated air temperature.
