Information processing apparatus, non-transitory computer readable medium, and information processing method

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program configured to cause a computer, as an information processing apparatus, to execute operations, the operations comprising:

• identifying a user;
• acquiring attribute information for the user, the attribute information being stored in association with the user;
• estimating, from the attribute information, a power consumption amount for an environment preferred by the user;
• determining whether the power consumption amount is equal to or greater than a predetermined value;
• upon determining that the power consumption amount is equal to or greater than the predetermined value, guiding the user to a first space;
• upon determining that the power consumption amount is less than the predetermined value, guiding the user to a second space;
• and
• communicably connecting to a home electrical appliance used by the user, the home electrical appliance comprising a home air conditioner;
• acquiring a usage history for the home electrical appliance, the usage history comprising a preset temperature for the home air conditioner;
• and
• determining, from the usage history, attribute information for the user,
• wherein a power consumption amount for the first space is greater than a power consumption amount for the second space.
