PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an air conditioner and a control method thereof capable of effectively using open air for air conditioning to achieve a comfortable room space by leading the fresh open air into a room in response to the temperature and humidity, and capable of reducing energy consumption. SOLUTION: An open air leading means 6 leads open air into a room, and an indoor heat exchanger 3 exchanges the heat between the suction air, which is a mixture of the room air and the open air, and a refrigerant, and blows the suction air into the room to make air condition come close to the target room air temperature and humidity. Amount of the open air to be led into the room, air conditioning ability of the indoor heat exchanger 3 and the refrigerant temperature are set on the basis of the open air temperature and humidity detected by open air temperature and humidity detecting means 11 and 12, the room air temperature and humidity detected by room air temperature and humidity detecting means 9 and 10, an indoor air conditioning load detected by an indoor air conditioning load detecting means, and the target room air temperature and humidity. The open air leading means 6 is controlled to lead the set amount of open air, and operation of heat transporting means 7 and 8 and an indoor fan 5 is controlled to achieve the set air conditioning ability and the set refrigerant temperature.
