Abstract

A convention appliance monitoring apparatus handles only the amount of gas used and security information for the case of a gas cutoff and can not address social needs for a desire to obtain information about influence (e.g., an amount of CO2 emission) of use of the gas combustion appliance on a terrestrial environment. Based on a gas appliance used by a client and a gas flow signal pertaining thegas appliance which are output from an appliance determination unit 2, CO2 emission data on the gas appliance stored in a CO2 emission data storage unit 3, and CO2 emission data which are to be compared with the gas appliance and stored in a comparative CO2 emission data storage unit 4, a CO2 emission calculation unit 5 calculates an amount of CO2 emission, an comparative amount of CO2 emission and a difference between the amount of CO2 emission and the comparative amount of CO2 emission. Accordingly, it is possible to determine the amount of CO2 emission produced by using the gas appliance and the difference between the amount of CO2 emission and the comparative amount of CO2 emission.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an appliance monitoring device for calculating and determining the amount of carbon dioxide emission, etc., generated during combustion by a gas burning appliance using, for example, domestic gas, liquefied petroleum gas, or the like. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, this type of appliance monitoring apparatus monitors safety information such as the amount of gas consumed by a gas burning appliance and the reason for shutting off when the gas is turned off (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [0003] Patent Document 1: JP-A-2001-236116 Contents of the invention [0004] However, conventional appliance monitoring apparatuses only deal with the amount of gas used and safety information for the situation of gas cutoff, and do not consider the impact of the use of gas burning appliances on the global environment (for example, carbon dioxide emission). This appliance monitoring device cannot address the ne...
