Examples of technologies subject to environmental technologies that contribute to climate change countermeasures: Climate change countermeasure technologies, etc.
Climate change countermeasure technology, etc.
Small and medium hydropower generation technology classification, heat island countermeasure technology classification (heat pump air conditioning system using geothermal heat, sewage, etc.), global warming countermeasure technology classification (lighting energy reduction technology), heat island countermeasure technology classification (greening technology for IT equipment, etc.) )
▶ Verification guideline for existing categories
Heat pump air-conditioning systems that use geothermal heat and sewage do not release artificial exhaust heat into the outside air, but exhaust it into the ground heat and sewage, leading to heat island suppression in summer. In addition, because it can perform cooling and heating more efficiently than using air as a heat source, it can also be expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and reduce running costs.
In the ETV program, paying attention to the “heat island countermeasure effect” among these effects, publicize the results of third-party technology Verification tests on system energy efficiency, heat exchange performance with the ground, etc., and judge the effectiveness of the technology. By providing various information necessary to do this, we believe it will be useful for selecting technologies that meet the needs of users.
In a questionnaire survey conducted by the Ministry of the Environment for private businesses involved in building construction and local governments nationwide, private businesses and local governments were aware to some extent about heat pump air conditioning systems that use geothermal heat and sewage. On the other hand, there was a situation where the level of awareness among general owners (customers) was considered low. There are also complaints about the ease of searching for related companies when trying to introduce them.
The ETV program provides users with an overview of environmental technologies that can be used, publishes the results of technology Verification tests by third parties, and provides various information necessary for the user's technology selection. , We believe that it will help potential users to expand the spread of useful technologies for verification applicants.
In fact, in a questionnaire survey targeting past applicants for verification, there was a reply that “inquiry about technology increased after the verification” and “there was some effect on activities such as sales promotion and technology development”. was. Furthermore, regarding the issued ETV logo mark, there was a reply that it was “published in product brochures, technical reports, external brochures, and their website”.
