Many attempts have been made to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in an effort to combat global warming. This study examines the use of sensors to record indoor lifestyle environments as one such attempt. In the house, we propose sensors measure the temperature, humidity, illumination intensity, the presence of people, and whether doors are open or closed. These measured elements are closely related to human lifestyles and living environments. Furthermore, we use 'life logs' as a method of measuring the indoor environment, locating resources being wasted, and to suggest further actions to improve the quality of life. Finally, through an analysis of the sensing devices and obtained data, we propose a system to carry out a new ecology-oriented lifestyle that attaches great importance to human comfort.
