Air-conditioning system, control method, and recording medium

A control method, comprising:

• obtaining environment information including temperature or humidity in an air-conditioned target area;
• estimating time variations in the temperature and the humidity in the air-conditioned target area based on the environment information, the target values of the temperature and the humidity, and a control schedule indicating a time variation in output, from start of control to end of control, of a temperature adjustment device that adjusts the temperature in the air-conditioned target area and a time variation in output, from start of control to end of control, of a humidity adjustment device that adjusts the humidity in the air-conditioned target area,
• optimally calculating the control schedule and determining an optimal control schedule based on the estimated time variations in the temperature and the humidity and the target values, and
• controlling the temperature adjustment device and the humidity adjustment device based on the optimal control schedule.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program, the program causing a computer to:

• obtain environment information including temperature or humidity in an air-conditioned target area;
• estimate time variations in the temperature and the humidity in the air-conditioned target area based on the environment information, the target values of the temperature and the humidity, and a control schedule indicating a time variation in output, from start of control to end of control, of a temperature adjustment device that adjusts the temperature in the air-conditioned target area and a time variation in output, from start of control to end of control, of a humidity adjustment device that adjusts the humidity in the air-conditioned target area,
• optimally calculate the control schedule and determine an optimal control schedule based on the estimate time variation in the temperature and the humidity and the target value, and
• control the temperature adjustment device and the humidity adjustment device based on the optimal control schedule.
