Main energy conservation activities of FGEL

Item	Contents	Reduction of Electricity use (actual for 3 years)	Amount (actual for 3 years) (1,000 yen)
Efficiency enhancement of compressors	Checked air leakage from the compressors generating air used for production facility and press and from the piping installed in the whole factory using a leakage tester. Enhanced the efficiency of compressors by checking and maintenance of the air leakage.	159.9Mwh	2,334
Individual management of lighting equipment	Changed the fluorescent lighting of the office to individual switch type. Changed the lighting for the place such as warehouse where people are not always working to the sensor type.	532.8Mwh	7,779
Integration of production area	Integrated production area by adopting Toyota Production System and made partition to enhance production efficiency. As a result, reduced wasteful electricity use by stopping air conditioner operation and turning off lightings for the vacant floor space. Enhanced efficiency of air conditioning by integrating clean rooms.	306.2Mwh	4,471
Heat insulation of high temperature equipment	Insulated the heat generated from the equipment by making heat shielding and heat insulating painting on the high temperature equipment such as reflow oven, drying furnace, high temperature tank. The equipment was procured from external supplier but made to our specifications, and the maintenance was made by ourselves. By this, the temperature rise in the room was suppressed and the energy-saving of the air conditioning was realized as the temperature of the furnace itself was kept stable.	96.8Mwh	1,413
Heat insulation of factory roof	Adopted heat shielding and heat insulating painting on the roof of the factory. For the first time in July, 2006, the painting was applied to the area of 30m2 on trial, which was proved effective, and for the second time, the area was extended to 410m2 and further to the whole roof of 3,300m2.	140.2Mwh	2,044
