Research Target in FY2009

To make tables on the drastic improvement factors of energy efficiency by classifying end use service and sectors based on the cycle of production, consumption and waste. Preliminary quantification of energy efficiency improvement on some end use service.

Research Outcome

1）Table of joint improvement of energy and resource efficiency

A table has been made by analyzing the factors of energy and resource efficiency improvement in the end use service on “passenger transport”, “food”, “heating and cooling”, “access to information”, and “lighting”. Regarding “passenger transport”, the improvement possibility factors such as transport measures, travel distance, number of passengers in vehicles, fuel mileage, weight reduction, car shearing etc, have been analyzed. Regarding “food”, the improvement possibility factors such as electric book and newspaper have been analyzed based on the change of life style of reading. Regarding “food”, the improvement possibility factors such as selection of food, productive measures, transport, and treatment of residual food have been analyzed. Regarding “lighting”, the improvement possibility factors such as optimal demand for lightning, task lighting, human sensor etc. have been analyzed. Regarding “heating and cooling”, the improvement possibility factors such as cool and warm biz, passive solar house, supply measures etc. have been analyzed.

2）Table for efficiency improvement analysis of energy and resources by end use sector

A table has been made by classifying end use sectors such as material industry, assembly industry, commercial industry and household, and we have analyzed the factor of energy and resource efficiency improvement from the point of renewable energy, device efficiency, social efficiency and life style.

3）Preliminary quantification of energy efficiency improvement

Preliminary quantification of the possibility of energy efficiency improvement has been done in the field of “passenger transport” and “access to information.
