Energy environmental education is an important matter to establish a sustainable society. Technology innovations or social improvements must be supported by education to achieve the most performance. Numerical evaluation of people's behavior changes caused by education is important to analyze the effects of education and to improve educational methods. In this study the mothers were chosen as monitors for the behavior analyses. Monitor's significant behavior changes as power consumption reductions after the energy environmental workshop were obtained from the daily energy consumption data collection by themselves. The changes are analyzed numerically using the residuals of multi-regression analyses; the explanatory variables are weather data and activity time in the house of whole monitor families. The maximum percentage decrease of power consumption after workshop was 22%. In this study it is found that detailed data collections of lives make it possible to evaluate numerically the behavioral changes of the people.
