Abstract
An air conditioner including an outdoor unit; at least one indoor unit configured to cool and heat an indoor space while repeating operation (Thermo-ON) and operation stop (Thermo-OFF); a sensor unit configured to measure a temperature and humidity of each indoor space in which the at least one indoor unit is located; and a controller. The controller calculates a sensible heat load and a latent heat load of each indoor space, based on a time when the operation stop occurs, a time when the operation starts again after the operation stop occurs, and temperature and humidity information of each indoor space, derives target sensible heat and target latent heat based on the calculated sensible heat load and latent heat load, and derives a target refrigerant temperature and an air volume of the at least one indoor unit based on the target sensible heat and the target latent heat.
