CO2Reduction Solutions
Omron will contribute to the fulfillment of the environ-
mental management objectives upheld by different
companies through our CO2reduction solutions. We will
achieve this through the effective use of sensing and con-
trol technologies, the dependability of which has been
proven over time and is evident from its versatile applica-
bility in fields ranging from manufacturing sites to social
infrastructures, and in such areas relating to industrial and
social applications as well as in our everyday lives.
One of Omron’s CO2reduction solutions, Green
Automation, effectively “visualizes” otherwise imperceptible
CO2emissions, and it centrally manages information on
areas that have been detected for improvements.
Subsequently, this enables all employees, from administra-
tors to on-site workers, to monitor the details of
environmental measures and energy usage on a real-time
basis during operations. “Visualizing” CO2facilitates com-
pany-wide environmental management by processing and
providing data relevant to the measures being activated on
each of the administrative, management, and on-site levels.
Our total support services begin with consultation on
tangible CO2reduction measures and plan implementa-
tion and continue through installation, maintenance, and
servicing of equipment with the ultimate result of improved
efficiency, even with reduced CO2 emissions. Omron’s
CO2reduction solutions transform the economic benefits
of reducing carbon into a point of company strength and
contribute to the maximization of the return on carbon
(ROC)* ratio.
Linking the School New Deal Program to
Business Growth
Omron’s environmental solutions are effective for a wide
range of social needs beyond commercial applications.
Omron energy management systems are “visualizing” the
energy consumed at 283 kindergartens, elementary, junior
high, and high schools in Kyoto. The City of Kyoto Board
of Education estimates that the systems saved approxi-
mately ¥40 million in electric power costs in fiscal 2006.
The School New Deal Program being advanced by the
Japanese government calls for solar power generation sys-
tems to be installed in elementary, junior high, and high
schools across the nation beginning in fiscal 2009.
Omron aims to expand its environmental business by
contributing to CO2reduction efforts and promoting envi-
ronmental education using an effective combination of
solar panel utilization and the energy management system
that were successfully demonstrated in the Kyoto school
district.
