【０００２】[0002]
【従来の技術】従来、給湯と暖房の両方の機能を有する
機器などでは、暖房のみのガス使用量を検出する手段は
なかった。また、家屋に設置されたガスメータは単一な
ので、調理，給湯及び暖房などガスの使用目的別の使用
量を判別する手段はなかった。2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been no means for detecting the amount of gas used only for heating in equipment having both hot water supply and heating functions. In addition, since there is only one gas meter installed in the house, there is no means for determining the amount of gas used for each purpose such as cooking, hot water supply, and heating.

【発明が解決しようとする課題】ガスを熱源とする暖房
は、そのランニングコスト面で石油を熱源とする暖房に
勝てず、都市ガス地域では燃料補給手間が不要であると
いう利便性にめぐまれている割には、その普及が今一歩
伸びていない。ガス事業者は石油にランニングコスト面
で対抗するため暖房という使用目的に限ってはその使用
料金を下げたいという要望をもっている。しかしなが
ら、上述のようにガスの使用目的別に使用量を判別する
手段がないため、ガス事業者は容易に料金施策を取れな
いという課題を有していた。The heating using gas as a heat source is inferior to the heating using oil as a heat source in terms of running cost, and it is surrounded by the convenience that no refueling work is required in the city gas area. For that reason, its popularity has not increased yet. Gas utilities have a desire to lower the usage fee for heating purposes only, in order to compete with oil in terms of running costs. However, since there is no means for discriminating the amount of gas used according to the purpose of use of gas as described above, the gas company has a problem that it cannot easily take a charge measure.
