Abstract
An energy saving automatic air conditioning control system and an energy saving automatic air conditioning control method enable consumption of a fuel or a battery (referred to as energy) to be minimized and a possible travel distance to be improved by processing data including road environment information such as road loss information, including altitude and traffic information, vehicle information such as a current acceleration/deceleration of a vehicle, and driver tendency information for manipulation of an air conditioner such as control of an air conditioning temperature and stages, automatically determining an air conditioning control time point, and displaying the determined automatic manipulation and control form on a map path of a navigation system.
