In an electric power management advising device, advice generated by the advice generating section and related to electric power saving is outputted by the advice outputting section. On the basis the advice thus generated, the collective control executing section carries out controls of the respective plurality of devices collectively. Accordingly, a user is provided with the advice related to electric power saving, and the plurality of devices are collectively controlled on the basis of the advice. That is, when the user wants to adopt the advice provided to the user, the user does not have to handle an operation himself. This keeps the user free from inconvenience. Therefore, it becomes possible to achieve an electric power saving effect reliably and provide a more comfortable and enriched life to the user.
