Home energy savings and low CO2 emissions are indispensable against global warming. This paper proposes a home energy conservation support system by using ubiquitous sensors. This system encourages energy conservation to the residents by indicating the non-energy conservation activities and the estimated loss money. This system is composed by human activities and environment monitoring system and energy-saving advice system. Human activities and environment monitoring system detects non-energy saving activities by using ubiquitous sensors. The energy-saving advice system instructs the user energy-saving activities, which he should do by taking account on his non-energy saving activities. We confirmed the efficiency of the proposed system by experiments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
