Promotion of Stopping Idling

Idling while loading/unloading or waiting for the traffic light to turn green consumes gasoline as much as standby electric power consumed by home appliances.

* The saving of 7% of gasoline consumption was achieved in the running test in the urban areas!! … by JAF Report

↓

Effect expected:Saving of oil equivalent to 1,390,000 kl/year ·;< This is equivalent to 8.2% of the energy conservation goal in the transportation sector >

Measures:

Drivers’ activity to manually stop idling while vehicles are stationary
Popularization of hybrid vehicles and vehicles equipped with the automatic idling stop system ← subsidy by METI
Popularization of a device to automatically turn the engine off and on linked to the foot-brake operation ← subsidy by METI

Demonstraition campaign

Traveling and Symposiums
through the Japanese Islands from north to south

Energy conservation-monitoring system for residential

“Energy Conservation Navigator” displaying energy saving amount and saved charges (electricity, fuel gas, water)

The voltage and current are measured to calculate power consumption, and the results thereof are transferred to the monitor.

The system displays the following items

Consumed amount (kWh, m3 ) from the beginning of the month
Charges for the above amount
Target energy charges
Previous energy charges

Effect of the E-Co Navi
(Energy Consumption & Cost Indicator)

Electric power consumption before and after: (based on the data from 784 houses)

This "E-Co Navi" can express the comparison of the consumption with the target figures or the preceding year's consumption . In this way, this makes it easier for everyone to carry out energy saving activities, and thereby contributes to total energy conservation.

Since November 1998, the "E-Co Navi" were installed at 800 houses every year across the country. In 2001Fy, 4,600 are installed . Monitoring by ECCJ has been continuing up to the present.
