II-2. Energy Conservation Measures for the Commercial/Residential Sector
Improving Equipment Efficiency with the Top Runner Program

- The top runner program* was introduced in 1998 for energy conservation standards for home/office appliances and fuel economy standard for automotives.


I-2. Transition of Energy Consumption in the Commercial/Residential Sector
Measures for Factories/Business Establishments Under the Energy Conservation LawV>

- The top runner program* was introduced in 1998 for energy conservation standards for home/office appliances and fuel economy standard for automotives.

Example of Top Runner Program
Energy-Conservation Target for Specific Equipment
Fuel Economy
(km/ )
Fuel Economy
(km/ )

* Top Runner Program:
The program seeks continuous improvement in energy conservation standard/performance among the latest products. E.g. Fuel economy standard of automobile, energy conservation standard for electric equipment etc.

Target Year Energy conservation effects
Passenger vehicles
(Gasoline and LP gas)		 2010 Gasoline 23% LP gas 11.4%
Passenger vehicles (diesel) 2005 15%
Freight vehicles (gasoline) 2010 13%
Freight vehicles (diesel) 2005 7%
Air conditioners (cooling & heating) 2004 (Partly 2007) 63%
Air conditioners (cooling only) 2007 14%
TV sets 2003 16%
Video cassette recorders 2003 59%
Fluorescent lights 2005 17%
Copying machines 2006 30%
Computers 2005 83%
Magnetic disc units 2005 78%
Electric refrigerators / freezers 2004 30%

The energy conservation effect is as compared with that of 1997 (and as compared with 1995 for automobiles, and 1998 for electric refrigerators / freezers).
Target Year Energy conservation effects
Space heaters 2006 (Gas)1%/(Oil)4%
Gas cooking appliances 2006 14%
Gas water heaters 2006 4%
Oil water heaters 2006 4%
Electric toilet seats 2006 10%
Vending machines 2005 34%
Energy conservation effects in comparison with FY2000(iagainst FY1999 figures for transformers)

II-2. Energy Conservation Measures for the Commercial/Residential Sector
Energy-Saving Labeling System

- The energy-saving labeling system has been introduced to inform consumers of energy efficiency of home appliances and promote energy efficient products.

Examples of energy-saving labeling


As of April 2004, the labeling is applied to the following 10 products: air conditioners, fluorescent lights, TV sets,
electric refrigerators/freezers, space heaters, gas cooking appliances, gas water heaters, oil water heaters and electric
toilet seats. The application is expanded to include computers, magnetic disk units and transformers in May 2004.
