APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ENERGY DISPLAY
First Claim
1. An energy display apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
- a smart meter detecting an energy-related data of an energy user;
input means receiving a comparison condition from the energy user for comparing energy-related data of other energy users;
statistics information processing means receiving and processing the energy related data of other energy users in response to the inputted comparison condition; and
an IHD (In Home Display) displaying a result of the statistics information processing means.

Abstract
The present disclosure enables comparison of an energy consuming propensity of each energy consumer with that of other energy consumers. To this end, energy usage information of each energy consumer and comparison conditions (size of house, the number of families, energy consuming regions) are collected, and energy consuming propensities of other energy consumers are compared with energy consuming propensity of each energy consumer similar in terms of living environment, and the comparison is shown. A variety of statistical information for comparison is provided through an IHD (In-Home Display) installed at each house, whereby the energy consumers can easily and conveniently evaluate his own energy consuming propensity. An objective evaluation of his or her position related to energy consumption of other energy consumers promotes more active energy conservation and more rational energy consumption by being stimulated by the energy consumption of other energy consumers.
