지속 가능 발전을 위한 에너지 절약 자료가 에너지 사용량 절감에 미치는 효과

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop sustainable and educational materials using the energy bill that help reduce energy usage in each household. Recently, the worldwide climate change phenomena taught us a lesson how to save energy and to reduce greenhouse gases. It cost a tremendous amount of money to develop innovative technologies that help reduce green-house gases. However, it does not cost as much in reducing greenhouse gases in houses. Taking action based on the educational materials that used the energy bill, the energy consumers learned how they spend and save more energy this month of the year in comparison to the same month last year. The sustainable and educational materials using the energy bill reported the amount of emission of carbon dioxide to the energy consumers each month. Seventeen homes saved 539 kwh during 6 months when they utilized the sustainable and educational materials using the energy bill. User- friendly information about the energy usage helps energy consumers to save energy and to produce positive results about the green earth.
