As part of the "Energy Saving and Energy Creation Project", Chiba University of Commerce has been carrying out a power saving week action "Cool and cool with water sprinkling" from July 2016, 7.
Since April 2014, the university has been operating the 4 MW Chiba University of Commerce Mega Solar Noda Power Plant (Noda City, Chiba Prefecture) to sell electricity. The actual amount of power generated in 2.45 was 2014 million kWh, which is equivalent to about 336% of the on-campus power consumption.Therefore, in order to aim for an eco-campus with 77% renewable energy through further energy saving and energy creation, we are considering creating a net-zero energy campus that will reduce the amount of power generated by the Noda power plant and the amount consumed within the university to zero, centered on the Faculty of Policy Informatics. .. In 100, we launched the "Energy Saving and Energy Creation Project".
After that, we conducted a feasibility study to promote the construction of an energy system that consumes the electricity generated on campus, and from 2016, we will carry out activities aiming at net zero energy campus throughout the university. ing.
This time, as part of the project, July 2016th to 7th, 4 will be set as "Power Saving Week".At the suggestion of the students of the project, "Don't stay in the cooler's room, let's sprinkle water and call for a cool stay," and decided to carry out a "cool big strategy with sprinkling water."
During the period, volunteer students will sprinkle water using a cassotte and tub borrowed from Mamasan Koboji Temple near the campus.Students in yukata and international students will speak to each other, verify the effect of water sprinkling with infrared images, and conduct a questionnaire survey on power saving awareness.
