2. Practice of Energy ConservationActivities in Japanese Enterprises

What is energy conservation?

lamp"rational use of energy" the Energy Conservation Law
1. Minimization of energy loss(prevention and recovery)
2. Maximization of energy usage efficiency

< "energy management"is the baseof energy conservation >
"Energy Management"procedure

Energy Managementmeans the total execution of fact-finding, planning, improvement and evaluation to get the cost-down profit.

Operation improvement, Technical improvement
Cost reduction, Strengthening international-competitiveness
Key point: propelling-organization and
key person (top management and energy manager)

Three Steps to Promotion of Energy ConservationThree Steps to Promotion of Energy Conservation

	Measures	Description
Step 1	Enhancement of management, Improvement of operation	To enhance energy management based on the current setup, so as to improve operation (at least measuring instruments may be required)
Step 2	Improvement and additional installation of equipment	To improve or retrofit some facilities with only a small investment, so as to achieve higher energy efficiency as well as to recover waste energy
Step 3	Changes in process, Introduction of high-efficiency equipment	This step is intended for improving or updating process and manufacturing equipment It involves technical development and large-scale investment, but on the other hand produces a substantial effect

"Management"is one of the most important activities inenterprises for Profit Maximization."Energy management"is one element of Cost management

E-management can give good affect on improving productivity and product quality

E-management gets mutual effect and synergy effect by implementing simultaneously with Q-management/P-management.

Concrete items should be managed

the energy conservation lawshows concrete items for energy management as the judgment standards and management standards.
< guide line >

Energy management starts from
Operation Management

1.Operational Condition Management
*to keep the operational standard.
*to find the trouble in operation (or with a machine).
*to prevent energy waste(keep the standard, operational/technicalimprovement).
2.Operational ResultManagement
<energy consumption/ unit consumption management,yield management, etc.>
*to reduce energy consumption and energy cost (technical improvement, introducing high efficiency facilities, etc ).
*Both kinds of management are necessary for energy conservation.
*Especially the latter is indispensable for top management.
