4.Overall inspections
Outline of a New Scheme for Factory Site Surveys
Overall inspection of the factories started in 2001
  1. Subjects of the surveys
    This refers to the conduct of factory site surveys on Type 1 Designated Energy Management Factories (approx. 5,200 factories) in accordance with the Energy Conservation Law specifying certain business sectors each fiscal year
    • Fiscal 2001: Steel Industry, Pulp and Paper Manufacturing Industry, etc.
    • Fiscal 2002: Chemical Industry, Textile Industry
    • Fiscal 2003: Petroleum Products, Coal Products Manufacturing Industry, etc.
    • Fiscal 2004: General Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing Industry, Electrical Machinery and Device Manufacturing Industry, etc.
  2. Survey method
    The status of the implementation of the assessment standards are scored according to three grades covering a check of the status regarding the establishment and observance of management standards, the observance of the standard values, measurement and recording, and the maintenance and inspection of major facilities related to six items, including the prevention of heat loss, prevention of electricity loss, etc.
    1. Submission of a pre-survey report (including outline tables and individual sheets)
      Self-evaluation on the status of the assessment standards
    2. Survey visit (one full day)
      To survey the status of implementation based on the submitted pre-survey report
  3. Result of the factory site survey
    Application of legal measures stipulated by the Energy Conservation Law as required (On-site inspection, guidance in writing, verbal guidance)
Major Survey Items of Overall Inspections
(1) Review of the enhancement system and activity status of other energy conservation projects
(2) Trends in the Energy intensity
(3)Establishment of management standards and standard values based on the assessment standards and their enhancement (to be assessed by the scores attained)
  1. Rationalization of the combustion of fuels
  2. Rationalization of heating, cooling and heat transmission
    2,2 Air conditioning equipment and hot water supply ;facilities
  3. Recovery of waste heat for reuse
  4. Rationalization of the conversion of heat to power, etc.
  5. Prevention of heat loss by radiation, conduction etc and Prevention of electric loss by resistance etc
  6. Rationalization of the conversion of electricity to power, heat, etc.
The survey should be conducted for the following items as to whether they have applicable management standards and standard values for each of the activity items listed on the left.
  1. Management
  2. Measurement and recording
  3. Maintenance and inspection
  4. (Measures for the new item)
  1. Score of less than 50:
    Factories whose status of compliance with the assessment standards is not satisfactory, and who have been judged as requiring on-the-spot inspection based on Article 87 of the Law.
  2. Score of 50 to 79:
    Factories who have been judged as requiring guidance in writing based on Article 6 of the Law for the improvement of compliancewith the assessment standards. The factories are required to submit a progress report on the status of improvements.
  3. Score of 80 or higher:
    Factories that have been satisfactorily conducting energy management. There are some factories, in spite of them conducting energy management satisfactorily, that have been assessed as requiring guidance in writing based on Article 6 of the Law with regard to the implementation of certain required reviews on the improvement of the specific energy consumption unit.
