Paper Abstract:	This paper proposes a human interface in the home energy management system, HEMS for short. The aim of the interface is improving the persistence and frequency of the user's power consumption behavior for economy in electric power consumption at home. The principal idea of our proposal is that control/status functions on network-connected home appliances are each displayed as an icon, which is called "annotation", on the visualization screen of power consumption. A period of time of operation that exceeds the pre-specified threshold about power consumption is shown at a specialized area on the screen. A view at the screen allows users to visually grasp a home appliance having effective power saving. According to the result of the questionnaire, the interface that we developed was evaluated.
