II-2. Energy Conservation Measures for the Commercial/Residential Sector
Support for the Introduction of ESCO Business

- Support, in the forms of partial subsidy for initial investments, low-interest loans, etc., is extended to private enterprises and local governments implementing the ESCO business.
- A model ESCO project will be introduced also at a national facility, i.e. METI building from FY2004 onwards.

Example of ESCO business introduction (at a hospital)

Energy conservation effect
by the introduction of ESCO:
Approx. 25%

II-3. Energy Conservation Measures for the Transportation Sector
Promotion of Cars with the “Idling-Stop” System

- Idle-free driving can improve fuel economy by approx.10%.
Even greater energy conservation effect is expected in city areas, where idling frequency
is high.
- Partial subsidy for the purchase of cars equipped with the "idling-stop" system was
introduced in FY2003.
- Promotion campaigns for the "idling-stop" systems are held in the forms of PR events, etc.

Results of "The Idling-Stop 2002 Caravan throughout Japan"

Nationwide (3719km)..... 5.8% on average
Or 13.4% in city areas
[The stop & "idling-stop" implementation time ratio in city area]

In October 2003, an event for "idling-stop" experiments took place at Tokyo's Ginza and Osaka’s Shinsaibashi traffic lights.

- Disclose Fuel Economy Performance
The disclosure is targeted for cars of which fuel economy standards are set based on the energy conservation law.
Either the status of fully compliant or plus 5% of the fuel economy standard will be publicly displayed.
- Label a Fuel Economy Identifiable Sticker
Label a sticker on the body of a car that conforms either to fully compliant with the fuel economy standard or plus 5% of the fuel economy standard.

Energy conservation law target year	FY2010	FY2005
