PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an air conditioner for a vehicle capable of suppressing fogging of a window glass more accurately.SOLUTION: An air conditioner 10 for a vehicle includes: an air conditioning case; an inside/outside air switching door 34; an air conditioning ECU 60; a heartbeat meter 43; and a metabolic amount estimation unit 61. The air conditioning case has an air passage for guiding air conditioning air into a cabin. The inside/outside air switching door 34 can adjust humidity in the cabin by changing an outside air introduction rate. The heartbeat meter 43 detects the heart rate of an occupant in the cabin. The metabolic amount estimation unit 61 detects the metabolic amount of the occupant in the cabin based on the heart rate detected by the heartbeat meter 43. The air conditioning ECU 60 controls the inside/outside air switching door 34 based on the metabolic amount.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】より的確に窓ガラスの曇りを抑制することのできる車両用空調装置を提供する。【解決手段】車両用空調装置１０は、空調ケースと、内外気切替ドア３４と、空調ＥＣＵ６０と、心拍計４３と、代謝量推定部６１とを備える。空調ケースは、車室内に空調用空気を導く空気通路を有する。内外気切替ドア３４は、外気導入率の変更により車室内の湿度を調整することが可能である。心拍計４３は、車室内の乗員の心拍数を検出する。代謝量推定部６１は、心拍計４３により検出される心拍数に基づいて車室内の乗員の代謝量を検出する。空調ＥＣＵ６０は、代謝量に基づいて内外気切替ドア３４を制御する。【選択図】図２
