<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide resource utilizing equipment for enabling a user to visualize energy saving efforts. <P>SOLUTION: This resource utilizing equipment is provided with a measuring circuit 13 for measuring the quantity of resources to be consumed by driving and a liquid crystal panel 11 for displaying the measured resource consumption, and the display of the resource consumption on the liquid crystal panel 11 is switched so as to be performed after the end of operation, in real time or after the lapse of a predetermined time. The resource consumption is displayed by a display means so that it is possible for the user to clearly grasp the efforts of the user for energy saving at a glance, and that it is possible to enhance and keep the consciousness of the user for energy saving, and to improve the effects of energy saving. Also, the display timing is switched according to the use style and tastes of the user so that it is possible to display the resource consumption after the end of the operation of equipment, in real time or after the lapse of a predetermined period, and to set the next energy saving target, and to facilitate energy saving measures for each user. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
