Abstract
An air conditioning system for a vehicle exhibits a room air conditioner unit for air conditioning a passenger compartment, a seat air conditioner unit for adjusting a temperature of a seat, a temperature sensor for detecting a temperature at a front location of a passenger seated on the seat and the temperature of the seat, and a control unit for controlling operation of the room air conditioner unit and the seat air conditioner unit so that a difference between the temperature at the front of the passenger and the temperature of the seat falls within a certain value range. As a result, a difference in heat sensation between the front and the back of the passenger is reduced, and hence the comfortableness of the passenger compartment can be improved.
