Abstract

Disclosed herein is a control method of an air conditioner that is capable of controlling a cooling operation by adjusting a target discomfort index according to a temperature or a temperature band of the air conditioning space when a discomfort index of the air conditioning space reaches the target discomfort index, thereby preventing the execution of an unnecessary cooling operation within a range not to affect the comfort of a user and thus reducing power consumption.
