This enabled progress through the following energy conservation
measures.
(1) Mobile crane equipment was installed inside the factory, increasing
production efficiency and reducing operating space.
(2) Highly energy-efficient roofing, exterior walls and double glazing
were used in the new factory, as well as energy-saving air conditioning and LED lighting.
This resulted in a 25% reduction in structural floor area. Electricpower use was cut by 38%.
