Adoption of Eight Programs as FY 2007 Model Projects that Introduce Measures against Climate Change in the Public Service Sector
The Ministry of the Environment has established a new program named the "Program to Support Initiatives Introducing Measures against Climate Change in the Public Service Sector," in order to accelerate the spread of the introduction of energy-saving equipment and those using renewable energy in the public service sector, including public and private hospitals and schools.
In FY 2007, the program invited public and private hospitals and social welfare facilities to apply, and programs of eight applicant facilities were selected as FY 2007 Model Projects after considering the programs' ripple effects on similar facilities, effectiveness of CO2 cutback, economic benefits, etc.
