II-2. Energy Conservation Measures for the Commercial/Residential Sector
Energy Efficient Product Retailer Assessment System

- In order to promote energy efficient products, it is essential to introduce measures for retailers,
who make the contact point between manufacturers and consumers.
- Recognition should be extended to retailers that actively promote energy efficient products or
provide appropriate energy conservation information.
- The energy efficient product retailer assessment system was introduced in FY2003.

Examples of energy-saving labeling

- System target (large home appliance retailers)
- Floor space of at least 1,000 square meters
- At least 50% of sales coming from home
appliances
- Top energy efficient product promotion stores
are selected each year and publicized along with
their rankings.
- Stores selected as top retailers are authorized to
carry a special logo.

II-2. Energy Conservation Measures for the Commercial/Residential Sector
Reduction in Standby Power Consumption

- Standby power consumption in the household sector accounts for about 10% of its total power
consumption.
- The home appliance industry has introduced a voluntary program for reducing standby power
consumption.

Outline of Voluntary Efforts by Relevant Industries

- In regards to products that essentially require standby power, the relevant industries shall work toward the goal up to 1W standby power by the end of FY2003 (by the end of freezing year 2004 for an air-conditioner).
- In regards to major home electrical appliances except for the above-mentioned products, the relevant industries shall also work toward the goal as close to zero watt as possible in standby power of the products bodies by the end of FY2003.
Industries concerned: Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA), Japan electrical manufactures
Association (JEMA), and Japan Refrigeration and Air-conditioning Industry Association (JRAIA)

Achieved by around 75% models by May 2003

II-2. Energy Conservation Measures for the Commercial/Residential Sector
Promotion of Residence & Building with Superior Energy Conservation

- By the revision of the Energy Conservation Law in 2002, the owner of the specified buildings (designated for the non-residential-purposed with the area over 2000m2) is required to notify its energy-conservation measures.
- Promotion of labeling on energy performance.
- Implementation of support measures for compliant houses and buildings

Residence: From FY2008, the rate of energy-saving standard conformity to build new residences shall be set above 50%.
Building: From FY2006, the rate of energy-saving standard conformity to build new buildings shall be set above 80%.

II-2. Energy Conservation Measures for the Commercial/Residential Sector
Promotion of High-Efficiency Boilers

- Energy demand for hot-water supply dominates about 30% of the total energy consumption in a
household.
- A rebate system has been introduced to promote the proliferation of energy efficient hot-water
systems.

CO2 Refrigerant
Heat-pump Boiler

Latent-heat
Recovery Boiler

Gas Engine
Boiler

Utilizing the principle of a heat pump used in an air-conditioner, it can be heated with energy of about 3 times more than input energy. This realized energy saving of about30% compared to traditional combustion-type boiler.

It recovers latent heat of exhausted gas, which was usually wasted. This realized energy saving of about 15% compared to a conventional combustion-type boiler.

Use the gas-powered engine's exhaust heat and power to provide heat (main) and electricity (sub) for approx. 10% overall energy saving for a building.
