Original Abstract Submitted

An air conditioning management system includes: an air conditioning system including a plurality of air conditioning devices which include an outdoor unit, an indoor unit, and a remote control device each capable of performing wired communication; and a communication terminal. Each air conditioning device of the plurality of air conditioning devices includes a transceiver configured to, in response to receiving a request signal requesting device data, transmit device data of the air conditioning device to another air conditioning device or the communication terminal. The communication terminal is capable of performing short-range wireless communication with at least one of the plurality of air conditioning devices, and includes a transmitter configured to transmit by the short-range wireless communication, the request signal to one of the plurality of air conditioning devices, and a receiver configured to receive by the short-range wireless communication, the device data transmitted in response to the request signal.
