Abstract(in English) In recent years, climate change, including global warming, has become a serious issue, and Japan is aiming to realize a zero carbon society. Zero carbon means reducing the net emissions of greenhouse gases to zero by balancing the amount emitted and absorbed, which is crucial for reducing CO2 emissions. This study focuses on energy reduction through in-home energy-saving actions, addressing issues such as the lack of acquisition of appliance-specific electricity consumption data, lack of personal adaptation, and oversight of notifications. To address these, a method that integrates a power consumption management service using IoT devices and baselines with a virtual agent (VA) was proposed and implemented. The evaluation experiment confirmed that the introduction of VA led to a reduction in power consumption, and an improvement in energy-saving consciousness and behavioral change was observed.
