CO₂ Reduction Potential Diagnosis

We spend a half to a full day verifying your current equipment and examining your energy use, including electricity and gas. Then we propose energy-saving measures optimized to your organizations unique characteristics. You can start saving energy and cutting costs without investing by incorporating operational improvements such as adjusting equipment. As part of our equipment upgrade/installation proposal, we provide the estimated payback period based on the energy and costs you will save. The examination report will also be used in formulating your reduction plan.

• STEP.1Preparation

  We conduct brief interviews and request necessary documents.
  For example: building diagrams, list of existing equipment, energy details for the last year (e.g., electricity and gas usage), and demand data

• STEP.2Site verification

  We visit the site to verify your existing equipment and conduct interviews about your energy use.

• STEP.3Report

  We create a report of our CO₂ reduction potential diagnosis.

• STEP.4Reduction
  measures

  We create a plan for improving operations and upgrading/installing equipment.
  Estimates for upgrading or installing equipment can also be provided upon request.

In order to accelerate its consulting business to support energy conservation in factories overseas, Yuasa Shoji has introduced a system that enables detailed remote diagnosis of factory improvements from Japan using wearable cameras. This system facilitates the application of know-how cultivated as a specialized trading company, such as business dealings with a wide range of energy-saving equipment manufacturers and extensive diagnostic experience at factories in diverse industries, according to local conditions.

• Camera images are viewed on a monitor at headquarters
• headquarters' side

• Contents of diagnosis and proposals

  • Optimal usage of equipment
  • Saving energy by improving maintenance methods
  • Optimizing settings for temperature, lighting, etc.
  • Upgrading to high-efficiency equipment
  • Reducing energy loss such as waste heat and using it effectively
  • Proposing installation of renewable energy equipment such as solar panels

• Explanation of diagnosis results

  The details of proposals and implementation methods
  are carefully explained to your senior management and energy manager.

  • Improvements resulting from proposals:
    Amount of energy, costs, and CO₂ that will be reduced
  • Advice on energy management

Here is a sample of a reduction potential diagnosis report provided by YUASA TRADING. When reporting diagnosis results, we explain the contents and suggest specific operational improvements and equipment to install based on a report like the one below. The report can also be used in formulating your mid- to long-term reduction plan.
