Introduction of exemption from the obligation to nominate
an Energy Manager

With regard to large office buildings, etc., it may be unnecessary to nominate an expert who is a licensed energy manager for each building, but, instead, it is only necessary to ensure that a licensed energy manager is involved in the work of drawing up the mid-to-long term plan.

To obligate Type 2 Designated Energy Management Factories to submit
a Periodical Report

To establish a system in which the country can assess the status of energy usage as accurately as possible and to take more adequate measures, the submission of periodical reports on the status of energy use, etc., became an obligation instead of just requiring the recording of usage.
