Provided is an air-conditioning system that air-conditions a house having an upper floor and a lower floor positioned at a lower position than the upper floor. The air-conditioning system includes an air-conditioning apparatus that conditions air in an air-conditioning room provided at the upper floor or at a higher position than the upper floor, a plurality of conveyance fans that conveys the air in the air-conditioning room to a plurality of upper rooms positioned at the higher floor independent of the air condition room, and is provided to correspond to the plurality of upper rooms, coupling fans that couple the upper rooms and lower rooms positioned at lower positions of the upper rooms to blow air from the upper rooms to the lower rooms, and a system controller that controls the air-conditioning apparatus, the conveyance fans, and the coupling fans.

Air-conditioning system

An air conditioning system controller is provided, which performs an air conditioning of a house through an air conditioning controller. The air conditioning system controller includes an in-house power generation amount obtaining section for obtaining a power generation amount generated by a natural energy power generator (for example, a solar power generation panel), an electric power amount obtaining section for obtaining a consumed electric power amount used in the house, a comparing section for comparing the power generation amount obtained by the in-house power generation amount obtaining section with a consumed electric power amount obtained by the electric power amount obtaining section and an air conditioning controlling section for controlling the air conditioning controller according to a comparison result provided by the comparing section.

Air conditioning system controller

An air conditioning system is provided, which includes a transfer fan for transferring air to a room as a space in a house from an air-conditioned room, a motion sensor for detecting whether the room is occupied or unoccupied and an air conditioning system controller for controlling the transfer fan. In the air conditioning system, a target air conditioning environment obtaining section obtains at least a target air conditioning environment of the room, an occupied-room air conditioning environment section controls the transfer fan that transfers air to the occupied room to approximate the occupied room to the target air conditioning environment according to information from the motion sensor and an unoccupied-room air conditioning environment section controls the transfer fan that transfers air to the unoccupied room to approximate the unoccupied room to a quasi-target air conditioning environment where an energy burden is lower than that of the occupied room according to information from the motion sensor.
