Opinions of Residents
I enjoy seeing the energy effects through
saving by using HEMS (Home Energy
Management System).
I like HEMS because it can optimize our
energy usage so that we can be engaged in
eco-activities without difficulty.
“I try to clean and wash when the EDMS
display is blue. Difficult operation is not
necessary at all.”
“I commute by PHV to work every day and
there is still gas left without filling it up with
gas for three month.”
