Abstract :
A lot of trials to reduce carbon dioxide emissions are performed as global warming countermeasures. We use sensors and record environment in the indoor and electric power consumption in the indoor. In a house, the sensors measure the temperature, humidity, intensity of illumination. The measured elements are related to human action and living environment closely. And we build the social life log to practice a new ecological lifestyle in the home. The social life log gives a versatile viewpoint about one action record by connecting the life logs that are personal activity records. This paper suggests a system to carry out a new ecological lifestyle to attach great importance to human comfort, and describes sensing devices and social life log to realize a system.
