In recent years global environmental problems become aggravated, and various energy-saving function and method have been introduced in vending machine. However, it is reported that useless energy is consumed because the amount of power consumption changes greatly by the installation environment in actual operation. Then, it aimed to achieve efficient conservation of energy by managing operation information on the vending machine, we did the monitor investigation to the vending machine in the university premises. When the conservation of energy setting matched to the use state was given, the amount of power consumption of about 12.2% was reduced to 25 vending machines in premises. As for this, the effect of 3.9t is forecast during year by the amount of the CO_2 reduction.
