NOVELTY - The apparatus has a search part (4101) for searching electric equipment and target power consumption from a storage part (410) based on an input action pattern. A power consumption acquisition part acquires power consumption of the electric equipment. A data processing part (4102) compares the target power consumption and the power consumption acquired by the acquisition part such that a display indicator (403) displays power-saving advice when the power consumption of the electric equipment is larger than power consumption during energy saving mode of the electric equipment.    USE - Power management apparatus for use in a house and office for managing electric power information regarding power consumption of electric equipment e.g. air conditioner, TV and refrigerator. Can also be used for managing power consumption of a lighting fixture, personal computer, printer and a curtain opening-closing apparatus and managing information regarding generated electric power of an electric power generating apparatus e.g. solar power generation device and fuel cell.    ADVANTAGE - The data processing part compares the target power consumption and the power consumption acquired by the acquisition part, so that the display indicator displays power-saving advice when the power consumption of the electric equipment is larger than the power consumption at the time of the energy saving of the electric equipment, thus providing energy saving advise to a user and allowing the user to learn energy saving operation.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are also included for the following:    (1) a control method of a power management apparatus    (2) a control program comprising a set of instructions for executing a control method of a power management apparatus.
