The information transmitting / receiving unit 103 is a part that transmits information measured and acquired by the monitoring sensor 102 to the data collection / reporting system 30 via the network 100. Examples of the network 100 include the Internet and an intranet.

  Referring to FIG. 4, the data collection and notification system 20 performs management and storage of environment information transmitted from the environment monitoring apparatus 10 via the network 100, and sets a monitoring time and the like. At the same time, the data collection / reporting system 20 selects a person in charge corresponding to the room that has reported and transmits information. By setting the adaptive range of the environmental data related to environmental monitoring in advance, the data collection and reporting system 20 determines whether the transmitted environmental data is out of the adaptive range of the set data. If it is determined that the data is out of the applicable range, the data collection / notification system 20 determines the following. That is, it is determined whether or not the person in charge can cope with the recovery of the state from the extent that the environmental data falls outside the applicable range. Thereafter, the data collection and reporting system 20 reports to the environmental management system 30 and the portable terminal 40 owned by the selected person in charge.

  The data collection and reporting system 20 is a system that transmits an information transmission command related to environmental data from the portable terminal 40 to the portable terminal 40 from the environmental data collection unit 202.
