Abstract
An air conditioner has an automatic operation mode or other regular mode, and a rest operation mode. The air conditioner includes an indoor unit, an outdoor air-conditioning unit, an air supply/humidification unit, and a humidity control unit. The indoor unit, the outdoor air-conditioning unit, and the air supply/humidification unit humidify or dehumidify air and supply the air into a room. The humidity control unit controls the devices in the indoor unit, the outdoor air-conditioning unit, and the air supply/humidification unit during the regular mode so that the indoor humidity reaches a first target humidity. The humidity control unit also controls the devices in the indoor unit, the outdoor air-conditioning unit, and the air supply/humidification unit during the rest operation mode so that the indoor humidity reaches a second target humidity, which is lower than the first target humidity.
