The purpose of this support system is promoting environmentally sound actions for individuals and groups. The main concept of this system is that more suitable actions presented to people considering their different characters is more feasible for the reduction of environmental dependence. The evaluation of Life-Cycle Energy (LCE) is basically calculated by using unit-load-factor value and frame-data set along the designed lifecycle. In this paper, it is focused that the evaluation of LCE of domestic appliances increased and/or decreased by selected behavior of user. Especially daily actions on utilization of these appliances are estimated high performance on reduction of LCE. Personal Computer System, which is equipped with hierarchical information supplying functions by the window system can be available for promotion of such environmentally sound actions.
