How much of energy saving effect is possible by residents' behavior must be important. But at least in Japan, it has not yet been made clear. Here in this research, we conducted a questionnaire survey on the residents' interests and lifestyle and thereby made the follow _ up analysis to figure out how the energy _ saving related consciousness, practice, and willingness are connected with each other. It has become clear that the information in relation to the problems to be solved or the willingness for making their levels of life higher is likely to let the respondents take actions.
Based on the energy consumption database of nationally residential houses in various districts of Japan, indoor humidity environment was analyzed. In winter and summer seasons, the statistical values of temperature, relative humidity, absolute humidity and the absolute humidity difference between indoor and outdoor were calculated for each house. In addition, the relations between these statistical values and the level of thermal insulation or airtightness, as well as the possibility of fungal damage were examined.Graduate Student, Tohoku Univ., M.
