Energy Conservation andNatural Energy Utilisationare different.
Definition of Energy Conservation • Minimisation of Energy Use while maintaining desire of people. • Energy may be used as much as they want unless they think it wasteful. • Energy conservation is not enough to meet the target of Kyoto protocol.
Natural Energy Utilisation • Solar thermal • Photovoltaics • Wind power • Geothermal power • Ambient energy
Solar water heaters are installed in about 1/10 of total households. Forced circulation type of domestic solar water heating system can be seen in houses. Solar Hot Water Heaters
Swimming pools Elderlypeople’s homes Hospitals Schools Apartments Solar Hot Water System
Traditionally common in residences. Insulation and air-tightness are prerequisites for passive solar heating Passive Solar Space Heating
Natural ventilation and sun shading are pre-requisites. Nocturnal ventilation Cool tube Earth contact floor Roof garden for evaporative cooling Nocturnal radiation Passive Cooling in Residences
Refrigerators Lighting bulbs (Compact lamps are not common in Japan.) Room Air-Conditioners Improvement in Efficiency of Household Appliances Colour TV Air Conditioner Refrigerator Year
Energy Conservation in Buildings • Energy Conscious Designs • Energy Reduction in Lighting • Energy Reduction in HVAC • Energy Reduction in Office Machines
Energy Conservation in HVAC • Heat Recovery System • Variable Air/Water Volume System • Free Cooling/ Night Purge • Sun Shading • Air Flow Windows • Controls for Efficient Operation • Set Point Temperature and Humidity
1 degree of change in set point temperature makes 10% of energy saving in both heating and cooling. Slight increase in air movement substantially reduces cooling load. Thermal Comfort and Energy Conservation

Conclusion-1 • Energy conservation has a largest potential in reducing energy requirements in building sector. • Different types of natural energy utilisation must be sought for different conditions.
Conclusion-2 • A slight discomfort must be accepted for reducing energy use and warming gas emission. • It can be regarded possible to meet the target level of Kyoto protocol as far as building sector is concerned in Japan.
