Abstract
A vehicular air-conditioner includes: a wind changing unit that changes at least one of a wind volume and a wind direction of air-conditioned wind, a temperature detection unit that detects a surface temperature of an object based on radiation from the object, a detection position changing unit that changes a position of a detection target region that is a region in which the surface temperature is to be detected by the temperature detection unit, and a control unit that controls each operation of the wind changing unit and the detection position changing unit. The control unit controls at least one of the operation of the wind changing unit and the operation of the detection position changing unit to suppress changes in the wind volume of the air-conditioned wind in the detection target region when a portion of the surface of an occupant is in the detection target region.
