<Meeting>
The Energy Conservation Center, Japan (ECCJ), entrusted by the ANRE(Agency for Natural Resources and Energy), held an interim CN diagnosis meeting on January 29, 2026, as part of AJEEP (ASEAN-JAPAN Energy Efficiency Partnership) Scheme 5 activities for this fiscal year. The meeting reported CN diagnosis results and progress, sharing them within ASEAN.

(1) Report on CN diagnosis results for the industrial sector: Semiconductor manufacturing plant (Singapore) and Ministry of Development building (Brunei) and report on CN diagnosis progress for ITC (Cambodia).
(2) Overview of Scheme 5 CN diagnosis (ACE)
(3) Overview of CN project startup meeting and future outlook (ECCJ)

 

   Opening remarks (ECCJ & ACE) ASEAN participants

 

As part of this year’s AJEEP Scheme 5 program, CN diagnoses were conducted at actual factories/buildings within ASEAN: at a semiconductor manufacturing plant in Singapore for the industrial sector, and at the Ministry of Development building in Brunei and the Institute of Technology of Cambodia building for the building sector. This meeting was held to share the CN diagnosis results within ASEAN. A total of 42 participants attended: 25 from ASEAN, mainly involving the CN diagnosis implementers, 6 from ACE, and 11 from ECCJ. Presentations were given on the CN diagnosis results from Singapore and Brunei, and on the progress of the CN diagnosis in Cambodia. ECCJ provided advice and feedback on the materials and facilitated discussions on challenges in conducting CN diagnoses.

(1) A CN diagnosis report was received from Singapore, proposing CN countermeasures using solar thermal energy and nine energy-saving measures. The medium-to-long-term plan will be formulated based on this.

(2) The Ministry of Development building in Brunei submitted its CN diagnosis report, proposing CN countermeasures using solar panels and six energy-saving measures, and.
simulation-based case study was conducted.

(3) A report was provided on the CN diagnosis process for the ZEB diagnosis conducted at the Institute of Technology of Cambodia building. CO2 concentration measurements in classrooms confirmed the necessity for ventilation control.

(4) It was explained that the final mid-to-long-term plan will be formulated at the CN Project Startup Meeting scheduled for February. After obtaining management approval, the CN Project will commence.

(5) This fiscal year’s CN diagnosis was conducted at one factory and two buildings. However, under the three-year Scheme 5, CN diagnosis was implemented in eight countries excluding Myanmar and Vietnam. Building on this year’s achievements, CN diagnosis activities will be expanded across ASEAN to develop personnel capable of conducting CN diagnoses and promote the formation of CN projects that contribute to Japanese companies.
