2. Message from T. UEYAMA, Course Leader
The training course “Promotion of Energy Conservation in the IndustrialSector” for Kazakhstan was implemented twice in 2015 and 2016, but its origin
was the ”Energy Conservation Technology & Machine Condition Diagnosis
Technique” course in 2013. Since this course was the training and dialogue
program to invite participant worldwide, there were applications over 10
countries including Kazakhstan.

While other countries requested one

participant each, Kazakhstan was hoping to send 8 trainees.
So, I consulted with JICA, redesigned the curriculum for Kazakhstan and implemented it asa Russian language course. It was very reputable, so after needs survey and lecture in 2014
upon the request of partner country, country-focused training for Kazakhstan was realized in2015. Mr. Vadim, who participated in the training in 2015, belongs to Asia Auto which is aknockdown type automobile assembly plant. Ms. Olga participated in the course of 2013 also
from this company. She is a director in charge of construction and Mr. Vadim, her subordinate,
is a manager of energy conservation.
Ms. Olga strongly hoped that she would like to let the energy conservation personnel
participate in this course directly and it was realized. Mr. Vadim was most earnest among
twelve trainees, and also recorded the highest point in the test to measure the training result.
In honor of him, I presented a special memorial for him.
It seems that he is realizing various projects under the understanding boss, after returning
home. Looking at his Action Plan at the time, it is written that "Because our factory had been
converted from other uses building, the ceiling is unnecessarily high and thermal efficiency isbad. I will implement fundamental measures upon this”.But, since he has not mentioned on
this issue in the report this time, I expect he will utilize the JICA training result much furtherand continue to improve.
Mr. Vadim, thank you for your report. We are waiting for further report and best wishes foryour future success.

Comparative consumption of electric and thermal power

After returning home in October 2015, he initiated to promote energy conservation activities
immediately. As the result, he has achieved reduction in (1) electric power rate (10%), (2) heat energy(7.7%) and (3) wastewater disposal (22%) in 2016 than previous year.

2）Various improvements of the power building to reduce energy consumption in 2016

112Vt fluorescent lights were replaced with72Vt LED (70pcs)

Downlights with Hg-lamps 700 and 1000 were replaced with downlight with HPS lamps 400 on
Testing and refinement site (before -70pcs, after – 28pcs)

Activities on reconstruction of switchgear were started for power saving

The sensor urinals were installed at restroom ofthe assembly workshop and the QC-Department
