本論文は、エネルギーシステムの実性能が技術的要因だけでなく、意思決定プロセスや運用管理、エネルギー認識などの人的・組織的要因に依存することを指摘。文献レビューと比較分析に基づき、従来の環境性能指標に認識関連次元（知識、リスク認識、管理能力）を統合した分析枠組みを提案する。認識不足が技術的潜在能力と実性能の乖離を生み、環境負荷を増大させることを示し、LCAや移行政策への管理的要因の組み込みを提言する。
English
This paper argues that actual energy system performance depends not only on technical factors but also on decision-making, operational practices, and energy awareness. Based on a literature review and comparative analysis, it proposes an integrated framework combining conventional environmental indicators with awareness dimensions (knowledge, risk perception, managerial competence). It shows that insufficient awareness causes gaps between technical potential and actual performance, increasing environmental burdens, and recommends incorporating managerial factors into LCA and transition policies.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本のGX実践では、SSBJ開示や省エネ法対応が進む中、技術効率だけでなく運用・管理要因の重要性が増している。本枠組みは、企業のエネルギー管理やLCA活用に人的要因を組み込む視点を提供し、省エネ投資の実効性向上や開示品質向上に示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
Globally, as ISSB and CSRD emphasize management and governance aspects of climate disclosure, this framework supports integrating managerial and competency factors into LCA and energy transition policies. It offers a conceptual basis for explaining performance variability in energy systems, relevant for both corporate sustainability reporting and policy design.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Energy transition is most often examined through the lens of technological development and integration, including renewable energy sources, energy storage systems, and digital energy management solutions. In practice, however, the actual performance of energy systems—understood as both energy efficiency and environmental impact across the life cycle—depends not only on technical parameters but also on decision-making processes, operational practices, and management capabilities. This paper aims to conceptualize energy and environmental awareness as a determinant influencing energy system performance at organizational and system levels. The study is based on a structured review of the literature from energy engineering, life cycle assessment, and energy management, complemented by a comparative analysis of how similar energy technologies are utilized under different decision-making contexts. On this basis, an integrated analytical framework is proposed that combines conventional energy and environmental performance indicators with awareness-related dimensions, including energy knowledge, perception of environmental risk, and managerial competence. The analysis demonstrates that insufficient energy awareness leads to systematic gaps between the technological potential of energy systems and their actual performance, resulting in increased environmental burdens despite high nominal technical efficiency. The proposed framework helps to explain performance variability in energy systems operating under comparable technical conditions and highlights the importance of incorporating managerial and competency-related factors into life cycle assessments and energy transition policies. The paper contributes to the literature by extending energy system evaluation beyond purely technical criteria and offers practical implications for the design of energy systems, industrial energy management, and policy instruments supporting sustainable energy transitions.
