A method of releasing an output-suppressed control state in an air conditioning system that includes a control device configured to control one or more air conditioners, and a management device configured to be connected to the control device via a network to transmit, to the control device, a command to control output suppression of an air conditioner from among the one or more air conditioners to cause the air conditioner to be in the output-suppressed control state, the method comprising:
a confirmation step of confirming whether communication between the control device and the management device is disconnected; and
a transmission control step of, in a case where the communication between the control device and the management device is not disconnected, prohibiting transmission of a command to release the output-suppressed control state to the control device without intervention of the management device, and in a case where the communication between the control device and the management device is disconnected, allowing transmission of the command to release the output-suppressed control state to the control device without intervention of the management device.
