PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To control an operation in accordance with an environmental condition and thus enhance energy saving performance.SOLUTION: An air conditioner includes control means 7 for controlling dehumidification means 5, air blowing means 2 and wind direction variable means 1 on the basis of a detection result from temperature detection means 3, humidity detection means 4 or an infrared ray sensor 6. When an operation is started, before a dehumidification operation is performed by operating the dehumidification means 5, the control means 7 operates only the air blowing means 2 to start an air blowing operation and detects a maximum value of humidity detected by the humidity detection means 4 within a predetermined time. After the predetermined time for detecting the maximum value of the humidity has passed, the controls means 7 determines remaining time for the air blowing operation on the basis of the detected maximum value of the humidity, and orients the wind direction variable means 1 in a direction of an object to be dried so that air blown out from the air blowing means 2 hits the object to be dried of which arrangement position is identified based on a detection result from the infrared ray sensor 6. |
