Abstract

See full text

An air-conditioning control apparatus includes an away detector, a position acquisition unit, a distance acquisition unit, and an instrument control unit. The away detector detects that a user is away from a building. The position acquisition unit acquires position information of a portable terminal carried by the user. The distance acquisition unit uses the position information acquired by the position acquisition unit to acquire distance information indicating how far the portable terminal is from the building when the away detector has detected that the user is away from the building. The instrument control unit controls an air conditioner installed in the building based on the distance information acquired by the distance acquisition unit, and the away time calculated by the time estimation unit, so that the air conditioner consumes less energy.
