Highly efficient energy utilisation in factories and buildings |

Background: |
Governments and private sectors have been developing technology and performing various activities based on policy measures to achieve highly efficient energy use in order to prevent global warming. However, there is a great possibility to enhance energy efficiency, if energy use is managed as a whole in a factory or a building by means of business models such as ESCO business, etc., and information technology. Moreover, if surplus energy of multiple factories, etc. is used effectively and in a co-ordinated manner in a particular area, it may be possible to produce more scope for energy-efficiency in the area as a whole than in each individual one. The workshop will introduce advanced practices by governments and private sectors in IEA countries to present their experiences and discuss the role of and co-operation between governments and private sectors. It is expected to seek this possibility and move towards new models of highly efficient energy utilisation in the future. |
