“The energy saving effect depends on the site, but on the average, electric consumption has been reduced by 15-20%, with the highest saving of 28%. In some sites, we used to pay nearly 50 million yen a year for electricity. Therefore, with a 20% reduction in the electricity cost, we have been able to save 10 million yen annually. At a price of 150 million yen for the refrigeration equipment, coupled with the use of subsidy, the payback period is estimated to be less than 10 years. “

“We believe major benefits we have enjoyed by selecting natural refrigerants include avoiding risks and saving electricity costs. Compared to the existing systems, the power consumption has clearly declined, and we believe that the actual power consumption has been around 30% lower than what we initially expected. In addition, we set up opportunities to communicate with our customers several times a year. Through such occasions, we communicate our environmentally friendly initiatives with our customers.“

“We won the Grand Prix of the commercial and accommodation category, the Energy Efficient Lightning Design Award 2012, sponsored by the Ministry of the Environment. It is a fact that many customers are conscious of environmental issues, and we are accepting many site-visits from businesses. We are not actively holding PR activities on our environmental actions, and consider we can leave it as a knowledge among people who knows. But if we have good opportunities, we are willing to provide information.“
