This air conditioning control device is capable of both reduced energy consumption and maintenance of comfort. The air conditioning control device (40) comprises an outing detection unit (41), a position acquisition unit (42), a distance acquisition unit (43), a time prediction unit (46), and a device control unit (44). The outing detection unit (41) detects when a user (92) goes out from a building (90). The position acquisition unit (42) obtains position information for a mobile terminal (20) of the user (92). The distance acquisition unit (43) obtains distance information indicating how far away the mobile terminal (20) is from the building (90), if an outing by the user (92) is detected. The time prediction unit (46) calculates an outing time being a predicted value for the amount of time from the current time until the time that the user (92) will return, when an outing by the user (92) is detected. The device control unit (44) controls an air conditioner (50) such that the energy consumption by the air conditioner (50) provided inside the building (90) decreases, on the basis of the distance information obtained by the distance acquisition unit (43) and the outing time calculated by the time prediction unit (46). |
