As a result, the time-series data 80 of the vital sign measurements is associated with the account logged in by the management device 40 or terminal device 50 and stored in the account DB 95 of the storage device 70. This function of the information processing device 60 is realized by the program 65 that the information processing device 60 is running.

[0047] The information processing device 60 calculates healthy life expectancy age based on the average temperature data 78 each time (or periodically thereafter) an update record of the average temperature data 78 associated with the account. The information processing device 60 may also correct the healthy life expectancy age based on time-series data 80. Healthy life expectancy age is the period in years during which an resident can continue to live in the current house 1 and be exposed to the thermal environment of that house 1 without their daily life being restricted by health problems. The higher the average temperature data 78, the higher the healthy life expectancy age. The information processing device 60 associates the healthy life expectancy age data 81, which represents the healthy life expectancy age of the account, with the account and updates the account DB 95 of the storage device 70. This function of the information processing device 60 is realized by the program 65 that the information processing device 60 is running.

For example, a specific resident can primarily relatively evaluate the insulation performance of their specific residence 1 based on the value of the average temperature ranking data 79. For example, a specific resident can primarily relatively evaluate the energy efficiency of their specific residence 1, particularly the energy efficiency of the air conditioning system 3, based on the value of the average power consumption ranking data 76. For example, a specific resident can relatively evaluate the energy efficiency and insulation performance of their specific residence 1 based on the value of the energy efficiency / insulation performance ranking data 73. Such relative evaluations influence the specific resident's perception, motivating them to renovate their specific residence 1 to improve its energy efficiency and insulation performance.

[0055] The average indoor temperature of Specific Residence 1 affects the healthy life expectancy of the Specific Resident. When the Specific Resident sees the value of the healthy life expectancy data 81 displayed on the Specific Terminal Device 50, the value of the healthy life expectancy data 81 influences the Specific Resident's perception, and the Specific Resident gains motivation to renovate Specific Residence 1 in order to improve its energy-saving and insulation performance.

[0056] (2) Account filtering When a display screen 100, 140, 160, or 180, as shown in Figures 3, 5, 6, or 7, is displayed by the specific terminal device 50, and a specific resident selects or confirms button 102 by operating the input device of the specific terminal device 50, the specific terminal device 50 recognizes this and transmits it to the information processing device 60. The information processing device 60 then narrows down the accounts and re-ranks them in the average temperature category, average power consumption category, and energy saving performance / insulation performance category. In other words, the information processing device 60 narrows down all accounts to accounts (including the specific account) that are associated with condition data 71 that matches or is similar to the condition data 71 of the specific account, and then ranks the narrowed-down accounts in descending or ascending order of average temperature data 78 by comparing the average temperature data 78 of these narrowed-down accounts. Specifically, if the average temperature is the average of the measurements taken during the summer months (June to September) over a year, counting back from the most recently recorded indoor temperature measurement, the information processing device 60 ranks the accounts in descending order of average temperature data 78. If the average temperature is the average of the measurements taken during the winter months (December to March) over a year, counting back from the most recently recorded indoor temperature measurement, the information processing device 60 ranks the accounts in descending order of average temperature data 78. This resulting ranking is called the filtered average temperature category ranking.

[0057] Similarly, the information processing device 60 ranks the filtered accounts in descending or ascending order of average power consumption data 75 by comparing the average power consumption data 75 of the filtered accounts. The resulting ranking is called the filtered average power consumption category ranking. Similarly, the information processing device 60 ranks the filtered accounts in descending order of energy saving performance / insulation performance category ranking data 73 by comparing the energy saving performance / insulation performance category ranking data 73 of the filtered accounts. The resulting ranking is called the filtered energy saving performance / insulation performance category ranking.

[0058] Subsequently, the information processing device 60 generates second display data based on the energy-saving performance / insulation performance data 72, average power consumption data 75, average temperature data 78, healthy life expectancy age data 81, the filtered average temperature category ranking, the filtered average power consumption category ranking, and the filtered energy-saving performance / insulation performance category ranking.

The ranking of the specific account in the filtered energy saving performance / insulation performance category is displayed on the ranking display unit 131. The healthy life expectancy age data 81 associated with a specific account is displayed on the healthy life expectancy display unit 112.

[0062] A specific resident can view the filtered average power consumption ranking, filtered average temperature ranking, and filtered energy-saving / insulation performance ranking displayed on the specific terminal device 50 to make a relative evaluation of the energy-saving and insulation performance of specific housing 1. Such a relative evaluation will influence the specific resident's perception, and they will be motivated to renovate specific housing 1 to improve its energy-saving and insulation performance.

[0063] (3) Sorting by average temperature category ranking, average power consumption, and energy saving performance / insulation performance. When a display screen 100, 120, 160, or 180 as shown in Figures 3, 4, 6, or 7 is displayed by a specific terminal device 50, and a specific resident inputs a selection or confirmation of button 103 by operating the input device of the specific terminal device 50, the specific terminal device 50 recognizes this and transmits it to the information processing device 60.

The information processing device 60 also sorts the average power consumption data 75 for all accounts in descending or ascending order of the average temperature category ranking data 79 for these accounts. This sorted data is called the second data column. The information processing device 60 also sorts the energy saving performance and thermal insulation performance data 72 for all accounts in descending or ascending order of the average temperature category ranking data 79 for these accounts. This sorted data is called the third data column.

[0064] Subsequently, the information processing device 60 generates third display data based on the first data sequence, the second data sequence, the third data sequence, and the healthy life expectancy age data 81. The third display data refers to data that will be displayed on the specific terminal device 50, consisting of the first data sequence, the second data sequence, the third data sequence, and the value of the healthy life expectancy age data 81.

[0072] As described above, a column of average temperature category ranking sorted in descending or ascending order, a column of average power consumption sorted in descending or ascending order, and a column of energy-saving performance / insulation performance sorted in descending or ascending order of average temperature category ranking are displayed side by side on the specific terminal device 50. Such a display influences the perception of the specific resident, and the specific resident gains motivation to renovate the specific house 1 in order to improve its energy-saving performance and insulation performance.

[0073] By attaching the text "You" to the average temperature ranking of a specific account, the specific resident can recognize their own average temperature ranking and the corresponding average power consumption and energy efficiency / insulation performance. The specific resident can compare their own average temperature ranking, average power consumption, and energy efficiency / insulation performance with those of others to relatively evaluate the energy efficiency / insulation performance of their own specific home 1. Such a relative evaluation will influence the specific resident's perception and motivate them to renovate specific home 1 to improve its energy efficiency / insulation performance.

[0074] (4) Ranking by average temperature, average power consumption, and sorting by energy efficiency and insulation performance. When a display screen 100, 120, 140, or 180 as shown in Figures 3, 4, 5, or 7 is displayed by a specific terminal device 50, and a specific resident inputs a selection or confirmation of button 104 by operating the input device of the specific terminal device 50, the specific terminal device 50 recognizes this and transmits it to the information processing device 60. The information processing device 60 then sorts the average temperature data 78 for all accounts in descending or ascending order of the average power consumption category ranking data 76 for those accounts.
