This study analyzed the factors causing the difference in the amount of utility bill payments by housing construction period, using micro data of about 9,000 households. The analysis consisted of (1) building a model of gradient boosting decision tree, which is one of the machine learning techniques, (2) identifying contribution of each household and each feature using SHAP value, which is a novel method to improve the interpretability of machine learning, and (3) revealing the breakdown of differences on a macro level by aggregating each contribution. The results showed that the factors that have reduced the amount of payments in recently constructed houses were partly caused by the spread of heat pump water heaters and IH cooking heaters, in addition to the improvement of housing insulation performance. It was also confirmed that the effects of higher efficiency refrigerators and lighting have been steadily increasing.
