3 Energy Situation in Japan The Great East Japan Earthquake and the nuclear disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant Ensuring a stable energy supply Reducing energy costs These efforts are required more than ever. Reducing greenhouse gases These are common issues around the globe. The importance of energy-saving efforts has been increasing worldwide. All Rights Reserved, Copyright GIPC

4 Japan s Energy-saving Efforts after the Oil Crisis After the oil crisis in the 1970s, Japan has improved energy efficiency by about 30% from 1979 through 2010 thanks to active efforts by both the public and private sectors. Through various energy-saving initiatives, we have achieved the world s highest energy efficiency. However, improvement of efficiency per GDP has been slowing down since the late 1980s. More efforts are required.

5 Current Non-manufacturing Energy Consumption and Measures Changes in final energy consumption in Japan reveal that energy consumption in the nonmanufacturing sector (offices and households) has notably increased compared to the industrial and transport sectors and now accounts for over 30% of total consumption. Energy saving in IT equipment is particularly critical for offices Final energy consumption and real GDP Real GDP % (Million ton: Oil equivalent) Transportation Non-manufacturing (Offices) Non-manufacturing (Households) Industrial 23.7% 19.4% 14.2% 42.7% % 200 Transportation Final energy consumption % Non-manufacturing % Offices % Households % The Basic Energy Plan drafted in 2010 (excerpt) 3. Achieving a low-carbon energy consumption structure 1. Basic point (3) Offices Wide use of IT devices and increased floor space have raised energy consumption and CO2 emission by approx. 40% since To reduce CO2 emissions, zero-energy buildings (ZEB) should be promoted by developing high-efficient IT equipment and lighting, strengthening and mandating energy-saving standards for buildings, and providing incentives to enhance the introduction of energy-saving equipment and facilities Individual measures 50 (5) Promoting energy-saving home appliances, IT equipment, etc. (in the non-manufacturing sector) ) Goal 12% Since wider use of home appliances and IT devices has raised energy consumption, it is crucial to make them 産業民生運輸 GDP more energy-efficient.

10 2.2.1 Promoting Energy-saving Technologies and Products (1/2) (Top-runner Program) Pursuant to the Energy Conservation Law, which was revised in 1998, Japan has introduced a top-runner energy-conservation standard for automobiles and consumer electronics, etc. As of the year 2012, the program covers 23 devices, including IT devices such as computers, magnetic disk units, routing devices and switching devices. Top-runner program To improve the energy efficiency of machinery and appliances as a whole, the fuel efficiency standard of automobiles, and the performance standards of particular appliances such as consumer electronics, office automation equipment and other electrical apparatus (collectively referred to as energy-saving standards ) are decided based on the performance of commercially available products with the best energy efficiency (top runners) and prospects for the development of relevant technologies. fuel 燃費 (km/l) 16 トップランナー方式の例 Example of Top-runner Program 15km/L 14km/L 13km/L 12km/L 基準設定時 Stand Setting FY 19km/L 18km/L 17km/L 15km/L Achievement is judged by weighted 製品区分ごとに加重 average per 平均で達成を判断 product category. 目標年度 Target FY トップランナー方式による省エネ基準 Energy conservation standard based on the Top Runner Program All Rights Reserved, Copyright GIPC

11 2.2.2 Promoting Energy-saving Technologies and Products (2/2) (Green IT Awards) The Green IT Promotion Council established the Green IT Awards in 2008 to encourage green IT efforts by industry and academic bodies.

12 2.3 Efforts to Implement the System (1/2) (Establishing a New Metric for DC Energy Efficiency) PUE focuses on the energy efficiency of data center facilities such as air-conditioning, lighting and power supply, etc. but does not reflect the efficiency of IT equipment there. PUE Total energy consumption of a data center = Total data center energy consumption = power consumption of IT equipment Total energy consumption of IT equipment An ideal data center has facilities which consume no energy, with a PUE value of 1. Inefficient DC Efficient DC 2 2 Facility IT equipment PUE=4/2=2.0 High energy consumption Facility Low energy consumption All Rights Reserved, Copyright GIPC Same PUE values IT equipment PUE=2/1=2.0 A new metric is needed to determine total DC energy efficiency. Japan, the US and Europe are working together to establish the datacenter performance per energy (DPPE) metric as a new global standard. 4 sub-metrics of DPPE IT equipment utilization (ITEU) Green energy coefficient (GEC) IT equipment energy efficiency (ITEE) Power usage effectiveness (PUE)
