To restrain discomfort given to a resident in a room.SOLUTION: An indoor unit (3) for an air conditioner (1) performing at least one of a cooling operation and a dehumidification operation includes a heat exchanger (31), a casing (41), and a control unit (30). The heat exchanger (31) exchanges heat between indoor air and a refrigerant and generates conditioned air. Blowout ports (46, 46a, 46b) for blowing out the conditioned air are formed in the casing (41). The control unit (30) controls a wind direction of the air blown out of the blowout port (46a). The control unit (30) controls so that the wind direction is directed to a direction of an area with no people during low load operation in which a load of the cooling operation or the dehumidification operation is equal to or lower than a prescribed value.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 【課題】室内の居住者に与える不快感を抑制する。【解決手段】空気調和装置（１）の室内機（３）は、冷房運転及び除湿運転の少なくとも一方を行う空気調和装置の室内機であって、熱交換器（３１）と、ケーシング（４１）と、制御部（３０）と、を備える。熱交換器（３１）は、室内空気を冷媒と熱交換して、調和空気を生成する。ケーシング（４１）は、調和空気を吹き出す吹出口（４６、４６ａ、４６ｂ）が形成されている。制御部（３０）は、吹出口（４６ａ）から吹き出す調和空気の風向を制御する。制御部（３０）は、冷房運転または除湿運転の負荷が所定以下の低負荷運転時に、風向を、人の不存在方向に向けるように制御する。【選択図】図５
