Abstract

A diagnostic aid device is configured to aid diagnosis of an operating efficiency of an air conditioner. The diagnostic aid device includes an obtaining section, a specifying section, a screen generating section and a measure information providing section. The obtaining section obtains an operating data of the air conditioner. Using the operating data obtained by the obtaining section, the specifying section specifies a state value of the air conditioner including air conditioning load factor, COP, power consumption or frequency. The screen generating section generates either a first screen or a second screen based on the state value specified by the specifying section. The first screen represents an operating status of the air conditioner. The second screen represents the operating status and single or plural sets of information related to a measure used to improve the state value.
