Mitsubishi Electric to Provide Heat-related Total Solutions
to Reduce Energy Costs and Support Decarbonization
One-stop service will optimize electricity and heat-energy usage

Total heat-related solution system

TOKYO, May 22, 2024 – Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) announced today that it will begin
offering heat-related total solutions as a service from May 31 to enable manufacturers, building owners andheat-supply operators to reduce their electricity and heat-energy costs and achieve greater decarbonization. As
one of the company’s newest Energy & Facility (E&F) solutions, the one-stop service will combine customized
consulting, heat-system designing as well as the provision of hot-water and industrial cooling and heating
equipment that contribute to electrification, and operational support for electric power and thermal energy inenergy management systems (EMS).
Through the service, Mitsubishi Electric will carefully analyze each customer’s needs to propose ideal
solutions based on data analysis and use digital simulations to estimate expected effects. The one-stop solution
will include the designing of facilities incorporating advanced heat-engineering technologies, such as heatpump chillers, EcoCute hot water, industrial cooling and heating equipment, and EMS-based instrumentation

control. Over the long term, the company will continue to analyze and evaluate operational data to support theongoing decarbonization initiatives. Customers will also be supported in managing the environmental valueof their electricity and optimizing procurement plans to transition to decarbonized operations.
Features of New Solutions
1)

One-stop support, from consulting to energy operations and ongoing support- Comprehensive support, from analysis and planning to post-deployment evaluation, operation andmaintenance, will lower the customer’s burden in deploying advanced equipment.
- Wide ranging needs will be met in a one-stop manner by proposing equipment not only from Mitsubishi
Electric, such as heat pump chillers, Eco-Cute and other hot-water/industrial chillers and induction-heating
inverters, but also from other manufacturers.
- Support will be provided for long-term decarbonization, such as improvements through ongoing
review and analysis of operational data and comprehensive measures for achieving carbon neutrality.

2)

Power ICT solution to support environmental value management of electricity and procurement plans- Mitsubishi Electric’s BLEnDer®1 Power ICT solution package will be used to support strict environmental
value management by calculating the environmental value of electricity at each base in 30-minuteincrements, and optimizing plans for power transfer between bases, battery operation and procurement ofenvironmental value certificates.2- For hard-to-reduce Scope 13 emissions, economically rational decarbonization will be supported withstrict environmental value management and optimization of procurement plans as well as thedeployment of optimal electrification equipment.

3)

Comprehensive energy savings through EMS-optimized uses of electricity and heat
- Electricity and heat systems will be optimized by using EMS to predict energy demand to achieveenergy savings throughout entire facilities.
- Modeling will be used to simulate the effects of renewals to optimize existing fossil-fuel equipment

and lower related Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, and to estimate the effects of introducing highperformance equipment and electrification.

GHG emission-reduction methods and solutions concept

In the global quest for a sustainable, carbon-neutral world in which GHG emissions are reduced to zero by2050, there is an increasing demand to reduce Scope 1 emissions as defined by the GHG Protocol.4 Japan’srevised Energy Conservation Act, which came into effect in April 2023, mandates companies to set targets fortransitioning from fossil to non-fossil energy. The transition to decarbonization is expected to be particularly
challenging for manufacturers, building owners and heat-supply operators that use large amounts of heat for
production and air conditioning.
Future Plans and Prospects
With this new solution, Mitsubishi Electric expects to help manufacturers, building owners and heat-supply
operators reduce their energy costs for electricity and heat as well as achieve decarbonization. At the same time,
Mitsubishi Electric will continue to leverage its digital technologies for the development creation of E & F Solutions
to further support carbon neutrality.
