Original Abstract Submitted

An air conditioning system includes an air conditioning unit that includes an introduction part that introduces air, a plurality of temperature adjustment parts that cool or heat introduced air, and a discharge part that discharges cooled or heated air to an inside of the vehicle. The air conditioning system further includes an outdoor duct connected to a discharge-part side of the air conditioning unit and extending toward an outdoor side of the vehicle to discharge the cooled or heated air to an outside of the vehicle. Additionally, the air conditioning system includes an outdoor door provided on the outdoor duct or on the discharge part of the air conditioning unit around the outdoor duct to control air flow through the outdoor duct.
