Energy conservation in TEPCO R&D Centers

TEPCO R&D Centers are engaged in various efforts that aim to achieve a creative research environment with lower energy consumption and to contribute to create a pleasant environment in surrounding areas. Work being undertaken includes a fusion of architectural planning and system planning, the development of a cold air distribution system using ice storage, and the promotion of energy conservation without loss of comfort in perimeter zones (window) by controlling heat and light. Furthermore, thanks to a next-generation building control system and precise energy operation management by the building operation working group, annual energy consumption is now about 1356 MJ/m2, showing an energy saving of 35%.
