It is recorded in one or both.

Here, since the organization of the business office 21 is hierarchically organized into groups, the individual user 29 belongs to one of the groups G. Therefore, the individual consumption energy and the group consumption energy can be aggregated based on the user identification information and the user consumption information.
In addition, the shared energy consumption that cannot identify the user can be separately calculated. That is, according to the present invention, the consumption amount of energy resources of the business establishment 21 as a whole can be classified into individual consumption energy, group consumption energy, and shared consumption energy. Note that it is not necessary to always configure the three hierarchical classifications of individual consumption energy, group consumption energy, and shared consumption energy, and a combination of any of the three consumption energy may be extracted. You may extract and combine energy consumption by the defined classification.

Consumption data, environmental data, and cost data are displayed on any of the personal data screen, group data screen, and shared data screen. As the consumption data, there are current consumption cumulative values such as power consumption, copy paper (OA paper) consumption, gasoline consumption and the like, and previous year actual values. The environmental data includes a cumulative value for the current period and an actual value for the previous period in which the consumption amount of the used energy resources is converted into the CO ₂ emission amount. It should be noted that, as the environmental load conversion value indicating the environmental data, in addition to the CO ₂ emission amount, if the “forestation effect” is quantified and displayed (for example, the conversion value of the forestation area), the effect of energy saving can be further realized. As the cost data, there is a current period cumulative value and a previous period actual value of a value (energy resource charge) obtained by converting the consumption of energy resources into costs.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the administrator 2
Pays the charge 9 for the consumed energy resources and performs environmental accounting 10 based on the data output from the central management unit 31, and sets the energy saving target and manages the policy 1.

6). The user data is recorded on the cards 30 and 30a (step 117) and stored in the central management device 31 (step 118).

Next, the procedure for changing the set temperature of the air conditioner 23 by the users 29, 29a in the office room 36 in the state of shared air conditioning with the air conditioner 23 and the lighting fixture 24 turned on will be described. Since this procedure is almost the same as the use of the copy machine 25, the same or corresponding parts are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof is omitted. When the users 29, 29a change the set temperature of the air conditioner 23, first, the card 3
0 and 30a are inserted into the recording device 45 and then pulled out (step 106). Then, the recording device 45 starts recording data (step 107), and the power consumption is recorded (step 111). In the air conditioner 23, the set temperature is changed from the shared air conditioning state to the temperature desired by the users 29, 29a (step 120). After that, when the desired temperature is restored to the initial set temperature of the common air conditioning, the cards 30 and 30a are inserted again into the recording device 45 (step 113). Then, the air conditioner 23 returns to the state of shared air conditioning (step 121), and the recording device 45 transfers the user data to the cards 30, 30a and the central management device 31 (step 116). User data is recorded on the cards 30 and 30a (step 117), and the user data is stored in the central management unit 31 (step 118). When the card 30, 30a is inserted into any of the recording devices 45, 48 or the card insertion portion 51, the user data is rewritten with the latest data and recorded in the card 30, 30a (step 11).
