In spite of being affected by the progress of the sudden depression originating from the U.S.
financial crisis, the various ASEAN countries continue to show economic growth. Following
from this, their energy consumption rates are also increasing, and in the future thisconsumption is expected to grow even further. It is believed that more effective use of energy
in these countries would contribute to global warming prevention and environmental
preservation activities.
This project is one pillar of the ASEAN energy cooperation that is authorized at the energy
minister level on the ASEAN side as PROMEEC (Promotion of Energy Efficiency andConservation), which currently comprises the three projects of “Major Industries”, “Buildings”,
and “Energy Management System”.
The Major Industries and Buildings energy conservation promotion projects are entering theirtenth years, while the Energy Management System project is beginning its sixth year. The
activities of the related persons in the various ASEAN countries, including our counterpart
organization, the ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE), have also become increasingly active, andthe projects have become firmly established. On the other hand, the price of crude oil, which
had been continually rising, fell after reaching US$147 a barrel, and is now fluctuating at a
price of around US$70 a barrel. However, since the amounts of recoverable reserves are limited,the awareness that crude oil prices will continue to rise over the long term is becoming
established. In practice, the rise in energy prices threatens companies’ competitiveness, and afurther enhancement of energy conservation promotion is being sought. In view of this change,
while it is a fact that the PROMEEC Project has been building an energy conservation
promotion infrastructure and contributing to improved awareness through implementing its
activities, it has become necessary to implement activities at an even higher level to build an
infrastructure that is capable of certainly promoting energy cons ervation.
Against the background described above, this project with the various ASEAN countries in thecurrent fiscal year has been positioned as the sixth fiscal year of full-scale activities in thesecond stage, working even harder towards the implementation and popularization of theresults that have been achieved up till now through self- help efforts. That is, in a continuationfrom the previous fiscal year, by building on the actual results and outcomes of implementing
energy audits in various types of factories and buildings in the ASEAN countries carried out inthe past, we are aiming to establish the infrastructure and educate the human resources required
to implement and popularize actual improvements centered on improvement measures that are
discussed and proposed in each country.
In addition to the Major Industries and Buildings Project activities, this project was started in
2004 based on an agreement obtained through discussions held with representatives of each of
the ASEAN countries in order to more effectively achieve the above targets in an aim to- 1-

improve and enhance the Energy Management System which will become the core forpromoting energy conservation in each ASEAN country. With the objective of rationalizing thisproject, first the basic functions of the “ASEAN Energy Management System”, which can becommonly used in the 10 ASEAN countries, were to be constructed taking around 5-6 years,
and this year is positioned as the year in which this objective would be realized.
Accordingly, in this fiscal year, based on the basic plan of the “ASEAN Energy Management
System”, the building and operation of the functions that should be included have been started
as follows while maintaining links with the Major Industries and Buildings projects, and theresults described below have been achieved.
1) Implementation of an Award System that has the purpose of making information commonly
known relating to the Best Practices of Energy Management for Industries and Buildings,
and announcing of awarded case studies?

The third Energy Awards were completed in July 2009. 17 case studies were received

as applications from eight countries, and nine case studies received awards.
2) Development of energy management tools (Technical Directory, In- house Database,Handbook, etc.) and building and operation of a dissemination system?

The Energy Management Handbook was completed. (Reflecting the experiences of
introducing and using it in five pioneer companies.)

3) Building and operation of an existing implementing organization usage system that can
provide energy audits and training?

Start of implementing organization registration and trial operation of the
Search SystemCyber, a searching system between implementing organizations and

ASEAN customers.
4) Enlargement of ASEAN Network of Cooperators?

Through providing advice to participants in Seminar-Workshops and visits tocompanies, increase the number of members in the Network of Cooperators.

Specifically, the following activities were implemented, and the activities were smoothlycompleted, achieving the targets described above.
♦ Intensive Seminar-Workshops were held in five ASEAN countries (A Focused Group
Meeting was held only in Thailand, using a different format), and in addition, visits weremade to a number of companies and organizations. The basic plans of this project and thelatest “ASEAN Energy Management System” were explained to related persons, and in
addition to gathering opinions, requests were made for people to participate in this project
and to utilize the programs and tools. In addition, as described below training was
implemented in four countries in order to allow use of the Energy Management Handbook.
♦ Operation of “ASEAN Award System of Best Practices in Energy Management for
Indus tries and Buildings”- 2-The award system that was planned for the popularization of the best practices in energy
management in Industries and Buildings sectors in the various ASEAN countries which havebeen collected starting in fiscal year 2006 was smoothly operated, and the third EnergyAwards were held.
The judging committee (Board of Judges (BOJ)) meeting was held on June 8-9, 2009, andfrom among the 17 case studies from eight countries that were collected throughapplications for the third Energy Awards case studies, a total of nine cases were selected,
including Best Practice Awards made to two applications, one in each of Industries andBuildings sectors, and outstanding case awards made to seven other cases. These awards
were presented at a ceremony during the AMEM Meeting (ASEAN Ministers Meeting on
Energy) held in July 2009. Following this, in a plan to realize the wide dissemination ofthese award-winning case studies, details were included on the ASEAN Centre for Energy
Website.
Following this, the call for applications for the fourth Energy Awards was made. When
implementing this call for applications, analysis was carried out of the results ofimplementing the third call, and the following points were discussed and confirmed at aworkshop held during the Research Forum in Japan in December 2009 in an aim to improvethe collection of case studies that will result in an even higher dissemination effect.
(1) It was decided to set a category of “Special Submission” as an award for a single
improvement activity or single project in order to use this as a way of making theapplication process easier to understand for applicants. Note that the call for applications
allows submission of up to two cases, one in each of Industries and Building sectors ineach country.
In addition, these evaluation standards were discussed, and a review of the key points formaking applications was carried out.
(2) Aiming to have implementation from fiscal year 2010, it was decided in fiscal year 2008
to offer awards in the two fields of large scale factories and small scale factories as apolicy to increase the award opportunities. Following this, the current classification
standards were investigated in fiscal year 2009, and this was further discussed and adefinite plan was formed at the Research Forum in 2009.
♦ Construction and partway development of a popularization system for the various types ofenergy management tools (Technical Directory, In- house Database, Handbook, etc.)
The Energy Management Handbook was finally completed in January 2009. In addition, theTechnical Directory and the In- house Database, which were developed following the Major
Industries and Buildings Projects, were set as energy management basic tools together with
the Energy Management Handbook, and these were disseminated during the Intensive
Seminar-Workshops and Training in each country. Further, the design of the information
systems were carried out jointly with the concerned persons in the ASEAN countries.
- 3-

Regarding the Energy Management Handbook, introduction and use in factories andbuildings was carried out with the cooperation of five companies in Indonesia, Lao PDR
and Vietnam from October to December 2007 to carry out verification of the completion of
the contents and the usage results, and the handbook was finalized while reflecting theseresults. A version has already been translated to Laotian in Lao PDR and the budget forbinding was considered. Through the cooperation of JICA, the translated handbook wasbound and distributed to related persons in the autumn of 2009. In Vietnam, also, a factory
where the handbook is being introduced and used has started translating it to Vietnamese.
♦ Construction of the “Cyber Search System”
Aiming to achieve the wide utilization of existing implementing organizations in thevarious ASEAN countries, the registration of the implementing organizations in thecompleted Customer - Implementing Organization Registration Search System “Cyber
Search System” has been carried out through the Focal Points in each country and is almost
complete, although the customer registration has not yet begun. Accordingly, we will strive
to carry out PR activities to potential customers through implementing further activities by
the Focal Points in each country to move towards the start of trial use.
♦ Investigation of “ASEAN Energy Management System (Step-2)” Basic Plan
Based on the activity outcomes and actual results described above, the construction of thebasic functions of the “ASEAN Energy Management System” has almost been completed,and the Step-1 System has begun operations. While eva luating the actual results of using
this system, we are aiming to develop it into the Step-2 System and have begun improving
and adding functions to make the system even more effective and easier to use. Based on
this, the latest plan was determined through discussions with representatives of the 10
ASEAN countries at the Summary and Post Workshops.
Note that in the project in the current fiscal year, the activities carried out on location started
from the Board of Judges (BOJ) meeting which selected the third Energy Awards case studies
in June 2009. However, the Inception Workshop (Three Joint Projects) held in July 2009 inorder to finalize the project plan and confirm the implementation preparations essentiallymarked the start of activities. Afterwards, the activities were implemented in five countries,
and the activity results and outcomes were shared jointly among the representatives from eachcountry at the Summary and Post Workshops (Three Joint Projects) that were held at the
beginning of March 2010. In addition, the policies of future activities to be tackled in the next
fiscal year and beyond were discussed at the end of the se workshops.
The specific activity contents in the current fiscal year in this project are as described below.
Board of Judges Meeting: June 8 to June 9, 2009 (Overseas business trip: June 7 to June 13)
The seven members of the Evaluation Committee gathered in Yangon, Myanmar to evaluate the- 4-

In theplan, requests were received from five countries, and the implementation also consisted ofactivities in these five countries. The subject countries, listed in the order they were visited,were the Philippines, Lao PDR, Thailand, Malaysia, and Brunei Darussalam. Although theactivity contents basically consisted of the following three activities, Activity-1 in Thailand
was a Focused Group Meeting, and Activity- 2 was not carried out.
(1) Activity–1: Intensive Seminar-Workshop (First day)(2) Activity–2: Training Activity utilizing Energy Management Handbook (Second day)(3) Activity–3: Visits to factories and counseling including Energy Management Handbook
introduction, use, follow- up, and/or new introduction (Days 3-4)
Final confirmation of three project implementation plan
First Local Project: September 9 to September 16, 2009 (Overseas business trip: September 8
to September 17)
The following activities were implemented in the Philippines and Lao PDR.
1. Implementation of Intensive Seminar-Workshop
The project activities, the “ASEAN Energy Management System” basic plan, together with
the included functions and tools, were introduced to the related persons, and case study
training was carried out using a case study from Thailand that received the current fiscal
year ASEAN Award of Best Practice in Energy Management for Industries and Buildings
and other awarded case studies. In addition, requests were made that the workshop- 5-participants should participate in this project and utilize the programs and tools.
2. Training on Energy Management Handbook Activities
Concerning the full utilization of the Energy Management (EM) Handbook, althoughtraining was implemented relating to the utilization methods, in addition to giving lectureson the contents of the Energy Management Handbook, group activities were carried out
using a case study announced by one building and one food product factory that were visited
this time.
3. Visits to Related Companies and Organizations
Visit to Factories willing to Introduce the EM Handbook
Visits were made to three companies (a shopping mall and two food produc t factories)
wishing to newly introduce the energy management tools including the EM Management
Handbook, and advice was given and exchanges of opinions made regarding energy
conservation promotion activities for each of the companies based on on-site inspections of
the buildings and factories. Particularly surprising was the beer factory in Lao PDR, inwhich there was a person who had participated in this training the previous year and who
also participated this year. On his return from the training, this person had introduced thetraining contents within the company as well as promoting the implementation of energy
conservation, so that PDCA Cycle and 5S promotion posters and energy use data weredisplayed in many places throughout the factory office to promote interest among theemployees.
EM Handbook Introduction and Use Follow- up
With regard to this, there were no subjects this time.
Second Local Project: November 4 to November 18, 2009 (Overseas business trip: November 3
to November 19)
The following activities were implemented in the three countries of Thailand, Malaysia andBrunei Darussalam.
1. Implementation of Intensive Seminar-Workshop
The project activities, the “ASEAN Energy Management System” basic plan, together with
the included functions and tools, were introduced to the related persons, and case study
training was carried out in Malaysia using a building case study from Thailand that received
the current fiscal year ASEAN Award of Best Practice in Energy Management for Industries
and Buildings and in Brunei using an industry Best Practice Awarded case stud y fromThailand . In addition, requests were made that the workshop participants should participate
in this project and utilize the programs and tools. From the previous time in 2007 there had
been a request from Thailand side to hold a common venue for energy conservation
experiences between Thailand and Japan known as a Focused Group Meeting rather than the
Intensive Seminar-Workshop, and this year the same format was also adopted.

2. Training on Energy Management Handbook Activities
Lecturing on the contents of the Energy Management (EM) Handbook, and training
concerning utilization methods was implemented. In the case study training, because thepreparation of case study introductions had not been done by the participating companies in
Malaysia, two cases were selected from the current fiscal year’s ASEAN Best PracticeAward case studies. However, in Brunei Darussalam, in addition to an ASEAN outstandingcase study, an energy conservation activity case stud y was introduced, which was carried out
by a university that was an implementing organization, and group activities were
implemented. An Energy Management Guide had also been developed in Brunei Darussalam
based on the Energy Management (EM) Handbook, and special mention is required
regarding the fact that as well as introducing the contents of this guide, the training was also
carried out by a professor of Universiti of Brunei Darussalam.
3. Visits to Related Companies and Organizations
Follow- up of EM Handbook Introduction and Use
Visits in this relation were also not carried out in these three countries.
Visits to Factories and Organizations wishing to Introduce the EM Handbook
Visits were made to two companies in Thailand, two companies in Malaysia, and threecompanies and organizations in Brunei Darussalam wishing to newly introduce the energy
management tools including the EM Management Handbook. In Thailand a food produc t
factory and a shopping mall were visited, in Malaysia a hospital and a building managementcompany were visited, and in Brunei Darussalam the Ministry of Defense, an university, anda bank were visited, and advice was given and exchanges of opinions made regarding energy
conservation promotion activities for each of the organizations and companies based on
on-site inspections of the locations.
Research Forum in Japan: December 8 to December 10, 200911 related persons from each of the ASEAN countries including the evaluation committee ofthe ASEAN Award System of Best Practice in Energy Management for Industries andBuildings gathered together and carried out the following research and discussions.
(1) Opinions and ideas were exchanged contributing to improvement in the development of
the “ASEAN Energy Management System” Step-2.
(2) ASEAN Award System of Best Practice in Energy Management for Industries andBuildings operations plan and evaluation guideline improvement and review
As a result of the above, consensus was obtained for the basic proposal of the functions relating
to the “ASEAN Energy Management System” Step-2 System, and at the same time it waspossible to receive valuable opinions for making further improvements. In addition, a basic
proposal was compiled centered on the review of the awards categories to improve theoperation method of the ASEAN Award System of Best Practice in Energy Management for- 7-

Industries and Buildings, and confirmation was made of the policy to make changes from thesubmission of applications in fiscal year 2010 planned for the future ASEAN Board of Judges(BOJ) meetings.
Summary & Post Workshop: March 3 to March 4, 2010 (Overseas business trip: March 1 toMarch 5)
Participation in the “Summary and Post Workshop on Promotion of Energy Efficiency andConservation (PROMEEC) (Major Industries, Buildings, and Energy Management), SOME –METI Work Program 2009-2010” (Held in the location of Cebu Island in the Philippines,
jointly covering Major Industries and Buildings.)

Post Workshop- Overall evaluation of results and basic directions for future activities in Phase-3- 2010-2011 Basic Implementation Plan for the three projects
Based on the evaluation of actual results up to the current fiscal year, clarification of theconditions that should be realized in Phase-3 was carried out, together with agreement on the
Basic Implementation Plan that placed great importance on “human resource development”
continuing into the next fiscal year. Based on this result, it was decided to request the
preparation of future activity proposals including those of each country wishing to take part in
the activities in the next fiscal year.
While continuing to realize support for certainly building the infrastructure in each of theASEAN countries to realize continued energy conservation activities also in the current fiscal
year, activities were also developed for the higher level Phase-3 seeking the enlargement of the- 8-actual implementation and popularization due to an increased level of self- help efforts by eachcountry, which is an important target of Phase-2 of the PROMEEC project.
As a result, the Step-1 System has been almost completed, providing the basic functions for“ASEAN Energy Management” that allows the ideal target of shared use among the various
ASEAN countries, and an infrastructure allowing smooth operation has been established. The
dissemination activities of the key energy management tools were also actively carried out, andit was also possible to smoothly operate the ASEAN Award System of Best Practice in Energy
Management for Indus tries and Buildings. In addition, many fruitful results were obtained,
including the fact that it was possible to expand the network of cooperation to many related
persons, companies, and organizations.
Finally, when implementing this project, it was possible to obtain the full cooperation of thepersons in charge at related organizations in all the countries, including the ASEAN Centre forEnergy (ACE). We wish to take the opportunity here to warmly thank all the people concerned.

I. Objectives and Background of the ProjectThis project aims to plan to build a stable and appropriate energy demand structure
corresponding to the internal and external economic and social environments in countries andregions that contribute to the stable supply of energy to Japan by investigating and providing
advice on effective energy usage policies through carrying out energy me asures, understanding
and analyzing energy consumption trends, and interchanges of human resources.
This project has been carried out since 2000, and is known on the ASEAN side as the
PROMEEC Project. PROMEEC is the abbreviation of “Promotion of Energy Efficiency andConservation”, and is a cooperation project between the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Tradeand Industry that is authorized by the Senior Officials Meeting on Energy in the 10 ASEAN
countries. It comprises the three projects of the Major Industries Energy Conservation
Promotion Project (PROMEEC (Major Industries)), the Building Energy Conservation
Promotion Project (PROMEEC (Buildings)), and the ASEAN Energy Management System
Improvement Project (This project: PROMEEC (Energy Management)).
This project was started from 2004, and has constructed the ASEAN Energy Management
System that will be essential for promoting energy conservation in industry sector and building
sector of the ASEAN countries, and it contributes to the support for forming a mechanism toenable the realization of improvements from a technical and practical viewpoint. That is, it
supports activities on the ASEAN side in energy conservation promotion by strengthening
energy management particularly in the fields of industries and buildings in the various ASEAN
countries, and as a result it promotes energy conservation measures in the various Southeast
Asian countries to contribute and aid the promotion of energy conservation together withenvironmental preservation.
This project constructs the Energy Management System essential for energy conservation
promotion in industry sector and building sector, and offers cooperation for supporting
improvements from the technical and operation viewpoints.
The ultimate objectives of this project are the building of the ASEAN Energy Management
System that can be commonly used by the various ASEAN countries, and by utilizing thissystem, contribut ion to the establishment of a sustainable system for energy conservation
promotion in the industry and building sectors could be expected.
In order to realize and achieve these targets, activities are implemented that place great
importance on the following points.
1. The “ASEAN Energy Management System” should be provided with the following functions,and should be easy and practical for users to use. That is, the following functions should be
the basis of the system.
? Supply of useful information? Provision of services such as energy audits and training
I-1

? Rules and systems for appropriately and smoothly operating the above
In addition, specific and effective sub-systems, programs, and tools should be preparedamong each of the functions described above.
2. Effective links should be provided with energy conservation promotion projects in industry
sector and building sector. (Sharing of information and utilization for result popularization)
3. Creation and broadening of the “ASEAN Network of Cooperators” centered on the various
ASEAN countries in order to widely popularize the “ASEAN Energy Management System”
while continuously improving and operating the system.
It is believed that a long- term viewpoint will be required for tackling the items described above.
First the Step-1 System which fully provides the basic functions and their required minimum
programs, tools, and sub-systems was tackled over a 5-6 year period, and the stage in thecurrent fiscal year is that it has been almost completed and operation has been started. Basedon an evaluation of the operation and popularization, the Step-1 System will be improved, and
it is planned to build and start operation of the Step-2 System that adds the functions andprograms that are thought to be additionally required.
The Step-1 System that has been mostly completed in the current fiscal year has been
constructed and operated as described below. In addition, activities were also implemented forthe popularization and application of this system.
(First Stage): Completed
Developed the plan for the ASEAN Energy Management System based on the Energy
Management System investigation in the various ASEAN countries and the transfer oftechnology and experience to the ASEAN countries from Japan.
Appropriate review of parts of the plan will be carried out as required.
(Second Stage): The Step-1 System has been completed. Investigation of the Step-2 System
was started.
Development of the methods of constructing and operating the ASEAN Energy Management
System(Third Stage ): The Step-1 System has been completed.
Operation and improvement of the ASEAN Energy Management System by the various
ASEAN countries
Programs required for the basic functions have been completed, and basic tools for energy
management such as the Energy Management Handbook have also been completed. In addition,
the sub-systems including the information system required for the popularization of the Energy
Management Best Practices that have been collected through the Awards System, and thereciprocal search system (Cyber Search System) between the energy management
implementing organizations and the customers have reached the actual operation stage.
At the same time, in order that the same system described above will be able to be popularized
in the ASEAN region and can be used by the related persons, plans were developed to carry out
I-2

activities in five countries, and activities were implemented in the countries. In addition, theASEAN Award System of Best Practices in Energy Management for Industries and Buildings
case studies has already successfully completed its third Energy Awards, where a large
improvement was apparent. In addition, improvement policies from an operation point of view
were also specified, and the Board of Judges for the ASEAN region held discussions in a plan
to determine the implementation rules to match the evaluation policies.
Note that although time was required to carry out the initial registration of implementing
organizations in the Cyber Search System, the registration of the implementing organizations
has been basically completed in the current fiscal year. However, the registration of customers
has not yet been completed, and the actual trial operations will be carried over to the next fiscal
year.
The implementation of this project was carried out by the Energy Conservation Center, Japan(ECCJ), and activities have been implemented centered on the following four experts in charge.
Technical Cooperation Department of International Cooperation Division:
General Manager Mr. Yutaka Ogura Project Manager: Industries (Steel)Technical Expert Mr. Fumio Ogawa Leader: Industries (Petroleum Refining)Technical Expert Mr. Hitoshi Kaji Sub- leader: Industries (Petrochemical Plants)

Fig. II-1-1: Plan of ASEAN Energy Management System

In the system described above, first the most important functions were developed and built as the firststage, and operations were actually started as the Step-1 System using the functions that were capableof being used. Then, while assessing the results of these operations, the addition of further effectivefunctions was investigated, and from fiscal year 2009 progress was made in the Step-2 System as thesecond stage in which the priority items were developed and prepared. Note that even in thedevelopment stage of the Step-2 System, it was determined to establish a system and program thatwould continually improve the Step-1 System.
In consideration of this point, the basic schedule of the ASEAN Energy Management System wasrenewed. Fig. II-1-2 shows the latest schedule for constructing the “ASEAN Energy Management
System”. As shown in this figure, the Step-1 System was mostly completed in fiscal year 2009.
The activities in which priorities were placed in fiscal year 2009 are shown below.
(1) The third Energy Awards of the “ASEAN Award System of Best Practice in Energy Management
for Industries and Buildings ” were smoothly completed, and the points that should be improved
from an operation point of view were narrowed down. In particular, from the point of view ofencouraging submissions it is aimed to make improvements that will enable the collection of awider range of even better case stud ies.

II-1

(2) The standard energy management tools should be prepared and popularized. That is, the ASEAN
Energy Management Handbook should be finalized, systematic application guidelines should beestablished as an effective tool together with the In-house Database and Technical Directory, andactivities should be developed to promote the ir utilization and popularization.
In addition, investigations should be continuously carried out to develop an even more effective
Handbook to supplement the tools described above.
(3) In order that the existing implementing organizations can be widely utilized by ASEAN-related
persons, trial use of an implementing organization and customer searching system (Cyber Search
System) will be started so that customers are able to search for appropriate implementing
organizations.

(4) Working towards the construction of the Step-2 System which is to begin from fiscal year 2009,
functions that should be additionally added, together with the programs and tools required bythese functions, will be investigated based on an evaluation of the operations of the Step-1 System.
Already, the building of a useful information supply system including a directory of suppliers ofenergy conservation technology, machinery and equipment including ESCO has been included in
the plan, with the aim of developing tools such as the Technical Handbook and providing
information to businesses and mediating between business developments.

III. Activities in Each Country (Intensive Seminar-Workshops and Visits to Co mpanies)
III-1. Overview
Five countries, the Philippines, Lao PDR, Thailand, Malaysia, and Brunei Darussalam were visited,
and activities were implemented. In Thailand, a one-day Focused Group Meeting was held in placeof the Intensive Seminar-Workshop, and visits to companies were made on the next and thefollowing days. Further, in the remaining four countries, following the holding of the Intensive
Seminar-Workshop, training was carried out to allow use of the Energy Management Handbook.
Afterwards, visits were made to factories and buildings wishing to introduce the Energy
Management Handbook to their energy conservation activities, and advice and exchanges of
opinions were carried out regarding the activities.
The activities in the countries were implemented in September 2009 for the Philippines and Lao
PDR, and in November 2009 for Thailand, Malaysia, and Brunei Darussalam.
In this current fiscal year, there were also many participants in the Intensive Seminar–Workshops
and the Focused Group Meeting from a wide range of organizations, including government-relatedgroups, implementing organiza tions, industry groups, companies, and universities. The total numberof participants was more than 192 persons, and in addition a maximum of three companies orrelated organizations were visited in each country, making a total of 10 locations for the fivecountries mentioned above.
The Energy Management Handbook usage training also attracted the attention of many related
persons, and 141 persons participated in the four countries where this one-day training was
implemented. Very lively questions were exchanged, and the participants enthusiastically tackled
the group work.
The programs of the Intensive Seminar–Workshops are shown in Attached Materials III-2-1. In
general, they were made up of the following sessions.
Session 1: Outline and Achievements of the PROMEEC Projects
Session 2: Functions and Program of the “ASEAN Energy Management System”(1) Outline of the Latest “ASEAN Energy Management System” Plan
(2) Specific Functions and Programs- ASEAN Award System of Best Practices in Energy Management for Industries andBuildings- Cyber Search System to Utilize Existing Implementing Organizations- Development of Tools for Energy Management
Session 3: Training: Experience of Group Activities for Improvement in Energy Management
After all the sessions described above had been completed, various energy conservation promotions
were carried out for persons wishing to participate and advice was given in response to questions
asked relating to energy management.
In addition, the training programs for the Energy Management Handbook utilization held in thePhilippines, Lao PDR, Malaysia, and Brunei Darussalam are shown in Attached Materials III-2-2.
These were made up of two sessions.
Session 1: Seminar(1) Energy Management Handbook Development and Plan for Introduction and Usage(2) Energy Management Handbook Detailed Contents Explanation(3) Related Tools (In-house Database, Technical Directory)(4) Key Indicators for Improving Use of Energy Management Handbook
Session 2: Workshop: Case Study Research based on Small Group Activities(1) Pioneer Company Improvement Case Study Presentation(2) Group Work- Discussion: Guidelines and Plan for Improvement using Energy Management
Handbook- Presentation of Discussion Results, Discussions and Exchanges of Opinions
III-1

On the other hand, in Thailand training on the “Energy Management Handbook” was not carried out,
and a Focused Group Meeting was held instead of the Intensive Seminar-Workshop. The company
visits were carried out soon after the following day.
In the four countries of the Philippines, Lao PDR, Malaysia, and Brunei Darussalam, after carryingout the Intensive Seminar–Workshop and the Energy Management Handbook Usage Training,
company visits and hearings were held regarding the Energy Management Handbook usage activity
situation in pioneer companies. The above were realized through the efforts of the Focal Points
consisting of related persons from each county and also from the ASEAN Centre for Energy, and it
was possible to carry out the activities smoothly according to plan. As a result, it was possible toachieve the following results.
(1) Also in the current fiscal year, many participants from each country and almost all thecompanies and various related organizations showed interest in the project and the “ASEAN
Energy Management System” program. Evaluation was received that these are effective energy
conservation activities, and confirmation was received that the participants actually wished toparticipate.
(2) Energy management best practice case studies in the “ASEAN Energy Management System”
were widely collected from each country, and the Awards System that has already been held
three times since its start as a program to achieve dissemination in the ASEAN region is
attracting even greater attention and expectations. Foundation construction for the Awards
System was promoted, including making improvements in the operation, in order that evenmore companies will be encouraged to continue submitting entries in the future.
(3) The Energy Management Handbook includes specific activity guidelines that enable it topromote energy conservation. By carrying out group activities using these guidelines in specificcase studies, it was possible for the participants to experience their usefulness. As a result, oneof the countries is investigating a policy to utilize this handbook at the national level as its
energy management guidelines.
Further, in order to finalize the Energy Management Handbook, its introduction and use wasstarted in five pioneer companies in Indonesia, Lao PDR, and Vietnam, and the results of theintroductions in each of the countries were reflected, enabling the creation of a general-purpose
ASEAN draft version. In addition, the translation to the language used in each country is being
carried out, and the Laotian version has reached the binding stage.
(4) In the current fiscal year also, the “ASEAN Network of Cooperators” for this project including
the companies that were visited could be enlarged. Since the project was started in 2004, 108
companies (factories, buildings, ESCO, etc.) and implementing organizations, government
institutions, universities and research institutes have been visited and investigated, and advice
has been given concerning their activities.
In addition, in all five countries, companies and factories other than the pioneer companies werealso visited, and we confirmed their understanding of the usefulness of the tools for energy
management including the Energy Management Handbook together with the fact that the
PROMEEC activities are implemented every year, realizing large results. At the same time, we also
called for their participation by making submissions to the ASEAN Award System of Best Practices
in Energy Management for Industries and Buildings.
Detailed explanations of the actual activities in each country are given below.

III-2. Activities and Implementation Results in Each CountryIII-2-1. Philippines
1. Intensive Seminar-Workshop Implementation
The Intensive Seminar-Workshop held on September 9th had 38 participants centered on the Energy
Efficiency & Conservation Division, Energy Utilization Management Bureau of Department ofEnergy (DOE), together with persons from the DOE regional offices, implementing organizations,
universities, and persons related to companies. The seminar was opened by statements given bothby Ms. Maureen Balamiento of the ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE) and by Mr. Yutaka Ogura of
the Energy Conservation Center, Japan, followed lastly by welcoming remarks from DOE
Undersecretary Ms. Loreta G. Ayson, after which commemmorative photographs were taken withall participants. The program is shown in Attached Materials III-2-1. The Seminar-Workshop thistime gave priority to the points described below. Note that the venue was a long and narrow meetingroom on the third floor of the hotel where this organization’s employees were staying (City Garden
Hotel Makati), which was used by arranging tables in a lengthwise U-shape.
(1) Lecture:
Outline of PROMEEC Project and the PROMEEC (Energy Management) Project
Implementation Plan
(2) Lecture:
Latest “ASEAN Energy Management System” Plan, Functions, and Major Programs andActivities(3) Workshop: Group Activities
Following the guidelines of the Energy Management Handbook, discussions were carried out
using case studies. These case studies utilized the Thailand case study of Thai Cold Rolled
Steel Sheet Public Co., Ltd. which was submitted to the fiscal year 2008 ASEAN Award
System in Energy Management where it was awarded the Outstanding Prize in the Industry
sector, and the Brunei Orchid Garden Hotel case study that was awarded a prize in the same
Building sector in fiscal year 2007.
Although more than 26 persons participated in the group activities, activities were carried out
in three groups in the slightly narrow lengthwise location. The groups were formed byrepeatedly assigning 1, 2, and 3 in order to the participants from the front end of the seating,
who took the group number as the number that was assigned to them. This device was used toensure that people sitting together from the same institution would as far as possible beassigned to different groups. Although it was left up to each group to select which of the twocase studies they would use, the result was that all three groups chose the same Orchid Hotelcase. While there were industry-related persons in the participants, we presumed that the hotel
was selected by all groups because overall the building-related topics were common to
everyone, making them easier to investigate. Although everyone chose the same topic, tackling
a common case study in each of the groups meant that mutual comparison and evaluation was
possible regarding the results of the investigations, which attracted the attention of theparticipants. Even though the same case studies were investigated, the ways they were tackledin each group became slightly different due to the experience, abilities, initiative, and positivityof the members making up the group. Although the time allowed for the investigation wasslightly short at one hour, lively discussions took place, and in its own way each group wrote
their investigation results on the whiteboard, and the results were presented in the order of thegroups. Concerning the presentations, while some groups gave precise explanations down to
introducing the members making up the group and their roles, other groups spent little time
explaining this and immediately described the good points and the points that should be
improved. Generally, each group indicated the pertinent points, and due to the common topic
they also expressed strong interest in the presentations by the other groups.
(4) Main participants: The breakdown of the main participants including the Seminar-Workshop

and the training in following day is as shown below. The majority of the participants gave
information beforehand so that it was understood who they were, and persons who wereplanning to participate were listed by their names together with the names of the organizations
that they belonged to.
DOE: 12 persons (including three persons from the Visayas and Mindanao local offices),
Mariano Marcos State University: 5 persons (Energy Management members), Star Mall
Alabang: 3 persons, SM Shopping Center: 2 persons, Ayala Property Management: 2 persons,
TIPCO: 2 persons, Pagasa Steel Works: 2 persons, AGC Flat Glass: 1 person, Market-Market: 1
person, other
2. Training regarding the Usage Method of the Energy Management Handbook
Although the number of participants was a little low at 27 persons, the number of participants in theafternoon Workshop after the end of the morning lecture was 19 persons (excluding DOE, ACE, and
ECCJ personnel), who were almost the same participants as on the previous day. Accordingly, thegroup work on this day used a smaller number of two groups.
As this was a course for understand ing the details of the Energy Management Handbook, In- house
Database, and Technical Directory and their utilization methods, it was implemented for companies
and implementing organizations that have particular interest and are considering the introduction ofthese tools.
The training that was a course which had the following content, including a lecture concerning how
best to use the “Energy Management Handbook” together with the In-house Database and theTechnical Directory and details of each of their usage methods. The program (common to all
countries) is shown in the Attached Materials III-2-2.
Note that in the case of the Philippines, although it opened as an Intensive Seminar-Workshop
which had been held successively in the past, the Training Session on the second day was being
held for the first time. In particular, for the “Energy Management Handbook” part, a detailed
explanation was given page-by-page. In addition, on a small group basis, explanations were given
not only of TQM and TPM, but also concerning Six Sigma, and it was apparent that the participants
showed great interest in this. Concerning Six Sigma, approximately half of the participants
appeared to know of it.
(1) Lecture: Detailed Contents of the Energy Management Handbook and Lecture on the Main
Guidelines(2) Workshop (Group activities)
1) Introduction to the energy conservation activities carried out by the following two companies
2) Based on the introduction details described above, group work was experienced relating tocreating advice concerning the evaluation of the energy conservation activities andimprovement plans possible for the future(3) Explanation of Energy Management Handbook introduction and usage activities
The introduction to the case studies tackling energy conservation activities that was investigated in
the Workshop used the two companies comprising the SM Shopping Center Management
Corporation which was to be visited two days afterwards on the 11 th , and the Greenhills Shopping
Center in the Philippines, which won an award in the fiscal year 2008 PROMEEC ASEAN Award
Energy Management Buildings Sector. From the SM Shopping Center Management Corporation,
Mr. Charles L. Singson attended the Seminar-Workshop, while Mr. Raffy M. Maglalang (MallManager, SM Supercenter Pasig) attended on the day, and a detailed explanation was also given
using the proposal materials that were submitted for the fiscal year 2007 PROMEEC ASEAN
Award Competition. In addition, Mr. Lawrence R. Todd (a U.S. citizen) from the company
Tropical Focus Phils, Inc. which carries out the technical servicing and consulting regarding the
installation and management of air-conditioning-related equipment for SM Shopping Center
Management Corporation gave a presentation of supplementary information. Regarding thiscompany, we could receive appropriate related information before the company visit on the 11 th .
In addition, regarding the Greenhills Shopping Center, although it was initially planned that related
III-4persons would attend to give an explanation of the outline, there was a sudden change incircumstances that meant they could not attend. Accordingly, the materials submitted when
Greenhills received the 1st Runner- up Award in the fiscal year 2008 ASEAN Award were
distributed to participants beforehand, and based on this the groups carried out discussions andinvestigations. Note that Greenhills employees arrived later at the venue when the presentations
were being given, and could hear the presentation results.
Almost all the participants had taken part in the Seminar-Workshop on the 9th , and had becomeused to the group activities. Highly active discussions surpassing those held on the 9th were
exchanged in each group. In addition, in the question sessions, questions were received including
what is the driving force behind the use of TPM, TQM, and Six Sigma in Japan, and whether theloyalty of employees to their companies is still strong in Japan. By carrying out this training, we
believe that it was possible to give the participants experience of the energy management
guidelines including the “Energy Management Handbook (EMH)” and in methods of using theIn- house Database and Technical Directory in their practical business.
3. Company Visits
Based on the Intensive Seminar-Workshop this time and the training relating to the usage methodsof the “Energy Management Handbook”, SM (Supermalls) Shopping Center Management
Corporation was selected as the company which wished to introduce and use the tools including the“Energy Management Handbook” in their factory or building energy management activities andenergy conservation promotion. Accordingly, a visit was made to the company’s San Lazaro
Shopping Mall on the 11 th . On the day, in addition to the San Lazaro’s Assistant Mall Manager, Mr.
Charles Singson and Mr. Lawrence Todd, who had introduced the company at the previous day’s
workshop, also offered their support. This organization gave an explanation of the purpose of thecompany visit and requested the utilization of EMH, and based on this we also requested that they
investigate submitting an application for the PROMEEC ASEAN Award. In addition, they also let
us view the PC software in the Management Room run by Tropical Focus Phils, Inc. in the San
Lazaro Mall, and showed the overall mall temperature management condition. Fur ther, they also
gave responses regarding the SM Group’s recently completed Naga Shopping Center relating to
EMH usage and Award application submission. For details, refer to the company visit record in
Attached Materials III-2-3.
4. Other(1) Wrap-up Meeting
Concerning the follow-up to the activities this time, a meeting was held at the hotel in theafternoon of the 11 th with ACE and the Philippines DOE (Mr. Marlon Domingo ) regarding thevisited company’s activity follow-up such as progress of improvement activities, improvement
points for the Handbook, promotion of participation in the Awards System, etc. In particular,
because the SM Corporation expressed an intention to submit their Naga Mall for the Awards
System, we requested that appropriate follow-up should be made.
(2) Certificate of Completion
34 Certificates of Completion prepared by DOE were signed by ECCJ as the representative andpresented to the participants on the second day.
(3) Energy Conservation Law Investigation Condition
In the question session held following the Seminar-Workshop, there was a question from aperson from the Marcos University regarding when the related Energy Conservation Law would
be implemented in the Philippines, which was answered by Mr. Anunciascion, Focal Point (FP)of DOE. According to his explanation, this was developed once in 1980 including designatedenergy management company regulations and an Energy Manager system, but afterwards it
elapsed and was extended between 1986 and 1990 before expiring in 1990 and remaining in thatstate until the present. Recently a new review draft has been proposed, but has not yet received
approval from the Congress. It was planned that a draft resembling the Japanese Law should beIII-5

created with JICA support from 2010.
(4) After the Seminar-Workshop, ECCJ pamphlets and JASE-World English version CDs were
provided through DOE to participants who wished to have them.
(5) Although the number of responses to the respondents’ questionnaire was slightly low at 13
persons, all of the 8 persons who evaluated the EMH/Training said that it was “Very Useful”.
(Five respondents did not complete the section.)

6. Company Outline and Past Developments
SM (Supermalls) Shopping Center Management Corporation is one of the leading corporategroups in the Philippines, and the owner family was taken up in the cover story of the
February 22, 2004 issue of TIME Magazine titled “The Families that own Asia”. The core of
the Group is SM (Supermalls), and the company currently has malls (shopping centers) in 35
locations in the Philippines and is already advancing overseas into China. In this PROMEECEM Project, we visited the Mall of Asia (MOA), SM’s largest mall, in October last year. Mr.
Maglalang and Mr. Singson attended last year’s Seminar-Workshop, and SM has abackground of being visited as a company that is interested in tools such as the EM Handbook.
The Assistant Vice President at that time, Ms. Silerio, was very enthusiastic about energy
conservation activities, and at the time the company had received a request from the DOE toassign a person to lecture at a seminar that was to be held in the near future. In addition, SM
submitted an application concerning the above- mentioned MOA in the Buildings sector of the
fiscal 2007 ASEAN Award Competition, however, the result was that it did not receive anaward, and it was also investigating whether to submit applications again in the future. For
more details, refer to the last fiscal year’s company visit record.
The visit destination for the current fiscal year was the different San Lazaro Mall, which isone of the company’s medium-sized malls. The visit also saw the participation by Mr. Todd of
Tropical Focus Phils, Inc. who had explained about the air-conditioning facilities and their
management on the 10th , so that we chose a good example for explaining the management
situation.
In addition, in the company visit in the current fiscal year, a total of three persons participatedin both the Seminar-Workshop and the Training from the DOE regional offices (field offices
in Visaya and Mindanao on Cebu Island), from which it could be understood that the DOE
was adopting an appropriate arrangement for the purpose of “human resource development”.
7. Outline of San Lazaro Mall
This mall is located in the north part of central Manila, at a distance approximately 30 minutes
by car. It opened in July 2005. It has approximately 180,000m2 of buildings on around 4
III-9

hectares of land, and includes department stores, supermarkets, various stores, cine mas, andcar parking. There are many stores aiming at children, and there are around 300 tenant stores.
The energy used is electricity, with a proportion of 45% for each tenant (administered using
meters in each store) and 55% for the common parts (SM Corporation). The number of SM
Corporation employees totals approximately 40 persons, including those involved inoperations, engineering, and other. In addition, the number of employees working undercontract from other companies, such as in security, is around 150 persons.
8. Contents of Discussions(1) Explanations from this Organization
The meeting was held attended by a large number of people from the other party. In
addition to Mr. Singson who attended all the PROMEEC activities last year and this year,
there was Mr. Tang who is in charge of operations at the mall in question, and also Mr.
Todd of Tropical Focus who had given the explanation about the air-conditioning facilities
and management at the Seminar-Workshop on the previous day, and one other person.
Four other people also attended from the SM Corporation side.
Because the meeting this time was the first meeting with persons other than Mr. Singson,
first the ECCJ General Manager Mr. Yutaka Ogura explained the purpose of the visit thistime (relation with last year ’s visit), an outline of the PROMEEC activities, an overview
of ECCJ, the contents of this time’s Seminar-Workshop and Training, the usefulness ofthe energy management tools, and then gave copies of the ECCJ pamphlet andJASE-Word CD. Then the following explanations were received from the other party.
(2) Energy Management Policy
As also stated by Ms. Silerio last year, there is a clear policy among the top management
to seek energy conservation, and this is permeating through the company. As a result, theactual results described below are being achieved. Further, the company has a policy not
only for energy conservation, but an overall policy for the environment, and isproceeding to implement it.
(3) Energy Management Organization
There are a number of committees inside the company, and one of these, theEnvironmental Committee, also handles energy conservation. This committee is made up
of a total of 15 persons. The previously mentioned Ms. Silerio is the Chairperson, and Mr.
Maglalang is also one of the members. The committee holds a meeting once a month, andthe Energy Efficiency Team below this holds a meeting every Thursday. The company
divides its 35 malls into 10 districts for administration purposes, and the Energy
Efficiency Team also includes representatives from these 10 districts.
(4) Energy Conservation Activity Results1) Overall Energy Conservation Activities
SM Corporation is enthusiastic about energy conservation activities, and the actual
results of the monthly electricity usage amount at the mall concerned were submitted
as graphs showing a reduction over the past three years. The Energy Efficiency Index
is 230kwh/m2 /year, which although is not as good as other malls (for example, theSouth Mall is 210), much better than the figure for the Mall of Asia (which is 300 ormore). Although there are some problems with the way of considering the area, we did
not hear the details.
Currently out of the current malls in all 35 locations, 15 locations (one more location
is currently being prepared) are linked by lines to the Tropical Focus Management
Center, to which the air-conditioning management is being commissioned. Further, an
additional three locations have entered into an agreement with ESCO and areproceeding with energy conservation. At the time of the visit last year, Ms. Silerio
III-10expressed her intention to utilize ESCO in the near future, and we gave her a variety ofadvice. However, this time was the first time for us to know that they have actually
moved to implement this. In addition, concerning lighting, the company isimplement ing a switch to energy conservation type equipment. Further, the company
is holding seminars whenever required to educate staff including tenants. They are also
holding many seminars relating to the environment, such as garbage-related problems.
2) Air-conditioning Facility Management
Consideration was made of the actual results of the power consumption amounts for
all 35 mall locations, and locations where the amounts were large (efficiency waspoor) were prioritized. Other elements such as the simplification of the wiring werealso taken into account, and the 15 locations described above were selected as subjects.
Regarding San Lazaro, the actual usage amount until June 2008 was taken as the base,and a target was established to realize a 13% reduction over a period of a little morethan one year. Including sensor installation, wiring, and modification of the piping offour chiller units, a total of 16 million pesos were spent on equipment investment, butsince the reduction amount was 2 million pesos per month, the investment could berecovered in approximately nine months. It appears that the initial trigger wasprovided by a talk between the owner of the SM Corporation and the father of Mr.
Lawrence who is the executive of Tropical Focus.
3) Small Group Activities
In response to a question from this organization, SM Corporation answered “We arecarrying out SGA. There are many proposals relating to lighting. We are holding
mutual meetings regarding improvements once per month between operations andengineering”, but we thought that they could not be carrying out SGA in its truest
sense. In this meaning, we believe there is room to carry out SGA by using the EM
Handbook.
(5) Future Plans
In addition to the previously mentioned 16+3 locations, the company has established aplan to continue investing in facilities for energy conservation in order of location fromnext year. In addition, they said they were thinking of using the SM Mall Naga (a newmall opened in 2008) as a pilot mall for EM Handbook utilization or as a candidate forsubmitting an application to the next ASEAN Award Competition, and we recommended
that they should proceed with this. Note that this mall is located in the southern part ofLuzon Island, approximately 500km away from Manila.
(6) Comments regarding the Energy Management Handbook
Through his participation in the Intensive Workshop-Seminars and Training between lastyear and this year, Mr. Singson is already fully familiar with the EM Handbook contents.
According to Mr. Singson, “The contents are very good, and we’d like to utilize them inour company’s energy conservation activities in the future.”
8. Impressions of Site
When we viewed the Administration Room of the BAS (Building Automation System), on
the display screens the temperatures of each of the locations divided according to thezoning were shown using colors, including green (23-24℃), blue (temperatures below
23℃), and yellow (temperatures above 24℃). An explanation was given of methods suchas changing the flow amount of the chilled water in order to maintain the target temperature
value. In addition, we also inspected the chillers (four units) and the Electric Room. Overall,
the design and management (including the housekeeping) was favorable.

III-2-2. Lao PDR
1. Intensive Seminar-Workshop Implementation
The Intensive Seminar-Workshop held on September 14 had 42 participants centered on theElectric Power Management Department, Department of Electricity (DOE) of the Ministry ofEnergy and Mines (MEM) and including persons related to the Ministry of Industry andCommerce, Ministry of Transportation, electric power companies, universities and companies.
The Seminar-Workshop started with welcome remarks by Mr. Hatsady Sisoula th, Deputy
Director of DOE/MEM, followed by opening statements by Mr. Yutaka Ogura of the Energy
Conservation Center, Japan and by Mr. Ivan Ismed of the ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE),
before a commemorative photograph was taken with all the participants. The program isshown in Attached Materials III-2-4. Note that although the program was common to eachcountry, the opening and closing times were brought forward by 30 minutes to match thecustoms in Lao PDR.
The Seminar-Workshop this time placed priority on the following points. Note that the venue
was a fairly large meeting room on the second floor of the hotel, Lao Plaza Hotel where thisorganization’s personnel were staying, and the room’s tables were arranged in a classroom
style for use. Due to the square-shaped room and the classroom style, it was more spacious
than the venue in the Philippines and easier to use. In addition, as it appeared that many of theparticipants found it difficult to understand English, the English explanations by thisorganization were successively interpreted to Laotian. Although this meant that much moretime was required and the explanations became a little hurried, adjustments were implemented
so that it was possible to complete the explanations within the allotted time.
(1) Lecture:
Outline of PROMEEC Project and PROMEEC Energy Management Project
Implementation Plan
(2) Lecture:
Latest “ASEAN Energy Management System” Plan, Functions, and Major Programs andActivities(3) Workshop: Group Activities
Following the guidelines of the Energy Management Handbook, discussions were carriedout using case studies. Among these case studies were the cases of PT Semen Tonasa(Industries sector, cement) of Indonesia, which was submitted as a fiscal year 2008
ASEAN Energy Management Best Practice case study where it received the First
Runner-up, and Sofitel Angkor of Cambodia (Buildings sector, hotel) which was awarded
the Second Runner- up.
More than 30 persons participated in the group activities, and activities were carried out
in four groups, using a format where the topics were specified, and two groups carried out
discussions in the Industries sector, while the remaining two groups carried out
discussions in the Buildings sector. As each of the two groups selected the same topics,
mutual comparison and evaluation could be carried out. Even though the same casestudies were investigated, the ways they were tackled in each group became slightly
different due to the experience, abilities, initiative, and positivity of the members making
up the group. Around seven people who took part in last year ’s Seminar-Workshop also
participated this year, and in some groups these experienced participant s took the lead in
the discussions so that the group activities could be completed before the planned time.
However, as it appeared that for most of participants this was their first experience of
these types of activities, some groups were proceeding with confusion. In order that theactivities would finish within the time, the time planned for the presentations was shownon the screen and an announcement was made 10 minutes before the end, so that it was
III-12somehow possible to obtain the results within the time. This was a good experience forthe participants.
(4) For the participants in the Seminar-Workshop, the English language version and Laotian
language version of the EM Handbook, Guidelines on Energy Audits for Factories,
Guidelines on Energy Audits for Buildings, Guidelines on Energy Tips for Factories,
Guidelines on Energy Tips for Buildings, and the Guidelines on Energy Tips forHousehold s pamphlets were distributed, and the ECCJ-related persons also received each
one copy. The issuing of both the English version and Laotian version of the EM
Handbook was the first issue in an ASEAN country, and we could sense the enthusiasm in
Lao PDR to tackle this project. However, there was no budget available for printing theEnglish and Laotian versions, and a request for cooperation was made by the DOE to anumber of companies and institutions. Finally the printing and binding was completed
through support from JICA.
(5) Main participants: The breakdown of the main participants including the
Seminar-Workshop and the following day’s training is as shown below. Unlike thePhilippines, the persons who were planning to participate were not listed up beforehand,so that the completion of the forms was carried out on the day, and in many cases thehandwritten entries were difficult to read.
DOE: 6 persons, EDL (Electric power company): 4 persons, MOIC (Ministry of Industry
and Commerce): 1 person, Ministry of Labor: 1 person, MPWT/DOT & DOI: 2 persons,hospital-related: 3 persons, National University of Laos: 2 persons, Lao Asia Pacific(Tiger Beer): 1 person, Lao IndoChina Group (Cassava): 2 persons, Lao Cement*: 1
person, Sunlabob**: 3 persons, Wattay Airport*: 1 person, Lao Tobacco: 1 person, Lao
ITECC*: 1 person, Novotel Hotel: 1 person, Lao Women’s Union: 1 person, other (*:Company visited in 2008, **: 2 foreigners from solar-related company)
2. Training regarding the Usage Method of the Energy Management Handbook
The number of participants was 27 persons (Excluding DOE, ACE, ECCJ personnel). Notethat all except two of the persons who attended the lecture in the morning attended theWorkshop, so that the number of participants was 25 persons. Accordingly, for the group workon this day, the number of groups was reduced to three groups.
This was a course for understand ing the details of the Energy Management Handbook,In- house Database, and Technical Directory and their utilization methods, and it was
implemented for companies and implementing organizations that have particular interest andare considering the introduction of these tools.
The course of the implemented training had the following contents that included a lecture
concerning how best to use the “Energy Management Handbook” together with the In- house
Database and the Technical Directory and details of their usage methods. The program(common to all countries) is shown in the Attached Materials III-2-5.
In particular, for the “Energy Management Handbook” part, a detailed explanation was given
page-by-page. Although this organization’s English explanations were interpreted to Laotian
as with the Intensive Seminar-Workshop on the first day, the explana tion took less time thanin the case of the Philippines. In addition, on a small group basis, explanations were given not
only of TQM and TPM, but also concerning Six Sigma. However, it was apparent that theknowledge of participants relating to the small group activities was not great, and in thismeaning, the exercise was a good opportunity for participants.
(1) Lecture: Detailed Contents of the Energy Management Handbook and Lecture relating to
the Main Guidelines(2) Workshop (group activities)
1) Introduction to the energy conservation activities carried out by the following two
III-13

companies
2) Based on the introduction details described above, experience of group work relating tocreating advice concerning the evaluation of the energy conservation activities andimprovement plans possible for the future(3) Introduction to Energy Management Handbook introduction and usage activities (2companies)
For the tackling of the energy conservation activities investigated in the workshop andintroduction to the case studies, it was originally planned to use the two factories,
Lao-Indo China Group Co. Ltd. (Cassava Processing Factory) and the Lao Asia Pacific
Brewery (Tiger Beer), that were visited on the 16th . However, since there was no
explanation on paper because spoken introductions had been given, in view of the
explanation by Mr. Bouathep of the DOE that unless a certain amount of written
information was given it would be difficult for the participants to understand the casestudy contents, efforts were made to prepare these. No progress was made until justbefore the activities were supposed to start, when suddenly a summary sheet form wascreated on the whiteboard for the companies to write in the details. The contents were as
follows.
1) Top Policy
2) Energy Consumption (Index, Target)
3) Human Resources (Organization, SGA, Motivation/Training)4) Activities (No/Low Cost, Investment Project, Future Plan)
5) Others
However, even at the stage where the two companies were to fill in information, theparticipants from the Cassava Processing Factory said that they could not fill in the details
themselves and declined to participate, which put us in a tight spot. Mr. Bouathep requested aparticipant from Lao Tobacco Limited (a request to have a company visit was received fromthis company before we went on the overseas trip), and this person kindly cooperated bycompleting the form. Following this, due to restrictions on time, the activity conditions of thetwo companies were explained only in the local language and a summary was translated for us.
The persons giving both explanations did not participate in the group activities, and byanswering the questions from each group it was planned to give depth to the group activities.
Further, regarding the Lao Asia Pacific Brewery, it was possible to obtain better knowledge
through a summary sheet and explanation before the company visit on the 11 th .
Many of the participants had also participated in the Seminar and Workshop on the 14th , andas they were also used to the group activities, each group carried out exchanges through much
more lively investigations than on the 14th .
However, perhaps due to national characteristics, there were almost no questions asked, andthose questions that were asked concerned matters other than energy management, so we hadsome concern about the activities. However, because we could confirm that the preparation
work for practically realizing the factory visit on the 16th progressed more rapidly than
expected, we believe that through carrying out this training it was possible for participants togain experience of studying the methods of utilizing the basic energy management guidelines
and business practices including the Energy Management Handbook and the In- house
Database and Technical Directory.
3. Company Visits
Based on the Intensive Seminar-Workshop this time and the training relating to the usage
methods of the “Energy Management Handbook”, finally the following two industrial
companies were visited from among the companies whic h wished to introduce and use tools
including the “Energy Management Handbook” in their factory or building energy
III-14

management activities and energy conservation promotions.
(1) Lao-Indo China Group Co., Ltd. (Cassava Processing Factory) : This company
manufactures tapioca powder from a potato-like crop known as cassava. The company wishedto investigate the introduction of energy management.
(2) Lao Asia Pacific Breweries Limited (Tiger Beer): This is still a new company under the
Heineken umbrella that began operations in 2008. Apparently activities including TPM,
PDCA, and 5S are being actively implemented, and in the corridors and meeting rooms,
various types of notices were shown in color. The executive charged with TPM was alsopresent, together with a utility engineer known as Mr. Kham Keo who had participated in
PROMEEC EM two times, last year and this year. In the future, even more positive
developments can be expected, and we strongly advised them to submit an application to the
ASEAN Award Competition.
For the details of either case, refer to the company visit records in the Attached Materials
III-2-6.
4. Other(1) Wrap-up Meeting
Concerning the follow-up for the activities held this time, on the afternoon of the 16th ameeting was held while travelling by car with ACE and the Laos FP, Mr. Bouathep,regarding the visited companies’ activity follow- up such as encouragement to participate
in improvement activities, support for the participation, improvement points of the
Handbook, Awards System participation promotion, etc. In particular, because the Lao
Asia Pacific Brewery is currently making preparations to meet the full-scale operation of
TPM activities, they should be encouraged to start energy conservation activities together
with the TPM activities in order to submit applications to the Awards System. Since the
Lao Tobacco Company also expressed the wish to submit applications to the Awards
System, discussions were held regarding making an appropriate follow-up.
(2) We heard from Mr. Bouathep that he was planning to investigate 12 cases as energy
conservation promotion key point items, and submit them to his superiors. These
included the development of an Energy Conservation Law, establishment of an energy
conservation center, creation of a labeling system, and energy conservation education.
Because he also expressed a wish to request assistance from Japan, after translating amemorandum in Laotian to English, we asked him to send it by E- mail so that we could
report the contents to METI in Japan. In addition, there was talk of receiving support
from the ADB, and apparently there was a meeting on the morning of the 15th.
(3) On the morning of the 16th , when visiting the DOE Office before the company visit, wewere introduced to Mr. Nobuo Hashimoto, who had been dispatched by JICA. He hadcome to Lao PDR in August of this year and was supposed to stay for two years as aPower Policy Adviser in the DOE. He had been dispatched from J-POWER, and he knew
Mr. Yoshida and others from J-POWER very well who had carried out the energy
conservation Master Plan surveys in Vietnam and Indonesia.
(4) Result of the participants’ questionnaire: Although responses were received from 27
persons after the Seminar first day, their evaluation of the EMH/Training was that 11
persons said Excellent or Very Useful, 15 said Good or Useful, and one person said Fair.

6. Company Outline and Past Developments
The Lao-Indo China Group is a company that manufactures starch for food use from a daily
amount of 100 tons of cassava. Because year-round an approximately one- month fixed repair
period is required, the amount of cassava processed each year is around 30,000 tons, and24-hour continuous operations are carried out. The cost of the electric power used in thefactory is 120 million kip (¥1 ˜ 100 kip) each month. In addition, there are also buildings(Administration Division) in which 50 air-conditioning units are operating, costing around40-50 million kip per month. Further, in the factory there is a coal-burning boiler for
manufacturing the steam used for drying, and 100kg of coal is used to process 1 ton of
cassava.
Because a large amount of energy is used as described above, the company is greatlyinterested in reducing the amount of energy used, but is unsure of the methods for energy
reduction. For this reason, the company participated in the seminar to study specific methods
for energy reduction and tackling the reductions. The seminar was attended by the president
and a female employee, but the training was only attended by the female employee.
Because there is vigorous demand for the product, currently the factory that is being expandedis shut down.
7. Overview of the Cassava Factory
At the time of the visit, the factory was shut down. The coal-burning boiler which uses thelargest amount of energy was a fixed bed molding type smoke tube boiler that was being usedefficiently. The coal used as the fuel was nonstandard pulverized coal, and low combustion
efficiency was expected. The equipment inside the factory was comparatively simple,
consisting of the tank for storing the cassava, the pulverizer, washer, and the dryer.
On the far side of the settling pond a fermentation plant was being constructed to extract
methane from the waste fluids that could be used as a fuel, and they explained that the boiler
would also be replaced by a gas-burning boiler.
Further, the building lighting mainly used fluorescent lighting, and for the air-conditioners
III-19many wall- mounted type Electric Heat Pumps were also installed.
8. Details of Cooperations(1) Explanation from this Organization
Because it was apparent that data collection using energy intensity was not being carriedout, first we recommended that they determine this for each type of energy (electric
power and coal). In addition, concerning the factory electric power, we recommended
that they determine how much electric power was being used by each piece of equipment.
It was thought that this data was being understood by the operators using their senses, andwe explained that by implement ing SGA activities this sense will be linked to energy
reduction.
In addition, we emphasized that while energy audits are very important, theimplementation and establishment of energy conservation activities is the most important
point for energy management.
Further, we provided them with the ECCJ pamphlet and the JASE-World technicalcollection CD and promoted their use.
(2) Response of Visited Company
A response was received from the president saying that they would investigate energy
conservation promotion through carrying out SGA activities.
9. Impressions of Site
Due to restrictions on time, the visit was only for a short period. However, from thecompany explanation given by the president and others, and their appeal for the necessity ofenergy reduction, they expressed their interest in energy management.
It was believed that the support of the Focal Point (FP) would be necessary for the
introduction and implementation of energy management, and a request was made forsupport to the FP.

6. Company Outline and Past Developments
Lao Asia Pacific Breweries Limited is a new beer company that was established in 2007 andbegan production from 2008. It has an annual beer production of 1.8 million liters. Its parent
organization is Tiger Beer, the Singapore-headquartered company which is developing in Asia
through activities as part of the Heineken Group. The Laotian government also has a 25%
investment participation in Lao Asia Pacific Breweries Limited.
Energy conservation is the collective intension of the Heineken Group, and it is possible tocompare the energy data from the factory against the other Heineken Group factories todetermine the position of their factory within the group.
Because the production has just been started at this factory, they are first currently preparing
for the full-scale implementation of TPM activities and 5S activities.
Regarding the energy conservation activities, they should start by tackling “No Cost, Low
Cost” by gaining an understanding of the usage amounts targeting electronic facilities
including the freezing facilities that use ammonia, the compressed air equipment, lighting
equipment, and air-conditioning equipment. For example, in the compressed air equipment,
investigating the pressure levels required by the demand destination allowed the dischargepressure to be reduced. In the future, there is a plan to expand the subjects to include fuel(installation of an oil- fired smoke tube boiler for generating steam) and water. In particular,
regarding the water, five flow meters have been newly installed to determine the amount used
for each application. On the day, an explanation was given using the electric power usage
amount change graph and its successive line graph for each equipment and process between
January and August 2009.
In the factory, beer is not produced on Fridays, which is set as a study day in an effort toacquire technology. In addition, because all employees share the knowledge they acquire at
the external lecture courses, a reporting system using E- mail is being constructed.
There is a Training Section for carrying out activities to spread the results of the studies andlecture courses.

7. Outline of Brewery Factory
Because the operations have only been carried out for a short period, the equipment andmachinery is new. When we visited the factory, they were carrying out preparation work forthe next process, and the bottling process was shut down.
We particularly noted the following as the points that surprised us.
・ The results of the TPM activities and 5S are displayed on notice boards in each location.
The methods used follow those of QC tools, so that even though we could not understandLaotian, it was possible to understand the progress.
・ In addition, also concerning the energy conservation, as previously explained the PDCA
cycle is being employed for the compressed air equipment. Also, detailed measures arebeing taken for the air conditioning, including affixing slogans in the vicinity of theoperation panels in many places, such as messages reminding the operators to keep thesetting temperature at 25℃.
・ Mr. Kham, who participated in the Seminar, felt that “By participating two times in the
Seminar and Workshop I could deepen my understanding, and using these methods I canproceed with energy conservation.” The day after the lecture course, he reported his
opinions to his superiors, so that the related persons could know of the proposal.
8. Details of Cooperations(1) Explanation from this Organization
Through carrying out the visit, an understanding of TPM activities could be instilled, andwe explained that the factory is at the stage where energy conservation activities can bepromoted in parallel at the same time. Further, we recommended that they should start
implementing specific activities at the earliest possible opportunity, and that they will beable to submit applications for the Awards System. In addition, the ECCJ pamphlet andJASE-World technical collection English CD were provided.
(2) Response of Visited Company
Concerning the improvement of the heat efficiency through adding equipment such as
economizers and air preheaters given as proposals from a technical point of view, and the
new installation of an accumulator as a load equalization measure, we received the
response that they knew the equipment know-how and merits but wish to “Tackle
activities from the viewpoint of No Cost, Low Cost, and would like to investigate theintroduction in the future.”

1. Implementation of Focused-Group Meeting
At the Focused-Group Meeting on November 4, there were 23 persons (information was sent
to 30 persons) including persons related to Bureau of Energy Regulation and Conservation of
Department of Alternative Energy Development and Efficiency (DEDE) in the Ministry ofEnergy (MOE), universities, companies and consultants. The Meeting started with welcome
remarks by Mr. Ivan Ismed of the ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE) and Mr. Yutaka Ogura of
the Energy Conservation Center, Japan. Lastly, Mr. Danai Egkamol, Executive Director of the
Bureau of Energy Regulation and Conservation of DEDE gave welcome remarks to open the
Meeting, and commemorative photographs were taken with all the participants. The programis shown in Attached Materials 1.
The Focused-Group Meeting that was held this time was completely different from theIntensive Seminar-Workshops that were normally held in the other countries. This followed arequest by Thailand that it should be similar to the special Thailand version implementation
contents in fiscal year 2007, placing particular importance on the current situation of Thailand
and ASEAN energy management, and experiences of the directions, information interchange,
and investigations for the future.
Note that the venue used was a Meeting Room on the 2nd floor of the hotel, Twin Tower Hotel,
where this organization’s members were staying. On the evening before the meeting, verysoon after the arrival of the Japanese delegation at the hotel, we were visited by Mr. Sarat of
DEDE who explained the final version of the agenda for the next day and showed us aroundthe venue. He also showed us the preparation situation including the distribution materials,
which were very satisfactory.
For the Program of the Focused-Group Meeting, refer to the Attached Materials III-2-7, andan outline is given below.
(1) Session 1: “Updating ASEAN EM Activities under PROMEEC”
1) Lecture: Implementation plan for the PROMEEC (Energy Management ; EM) Projectin 2009-2010 (Mr. Ogura); Explanation of the developments up to the present, thefuture directions and plans, and current fiscal year activity plans and implementation
condition.
2) Lecture: Introduction to Contents of Third ASEAN Award Competition on EM(2008-2009) (Mr. Ivan, Mr. Ogura) Mr. Ivan gave an introduction to the results of thecase submissions and the selection results, while Mr. Ogura reported on the results ofanalyzing the contents of submissions from the viewpoint of EM.
3) Lecture: Introduction to Latest Situation of the In- house Database and Technical
Directory (Mr. Ivan)
4) Lecture: Introduction to the Cyber Search System (Mr. Ivan, Mr. Ogura)(2) Session 2: “Experience Sharing on EM Implementation System”
1) Lecture: Present Situation and Future Plan for Energy Management in Thailand (Mr.
Sarat); Details of the EM Standard (EMS) in Thailand were introduced, covering theimportance of EM, the structure of the EC Promotion Act, the installation andinvestigation of EM Auditors, and the eight steps in the EM Procedure. As the next
step, it is planned to support the introduction and establishment of EM in designatedenergy management companies (6,000 companies), the development of the EM
Auditor system, and the integration of ISO 50001 in EM.
Note that the eight steps are similar to the Key Step Approach, and consist of Step 1:
Set up EM working group, Step 2: Assessment on EM Situation, Step 3: Formulation
III-23

of EC Policy, Step 4: Evaluation of Energy Saving Potential, Step 5: Identify Target
and Plan, Step 6: EC Implementation, Step 7: Monitoring and Evaluation, and Step 8:
EM Review and Improvement, and also correspond to the PDCA Cycle.
In addition, in the Q&A session after the lecture, Mr. Sarat asked “Is there an EM
Auditor System in Japan?” When we replied that “This is not stipulated under the
Energy Conservation Law as a system”, he confirmed “So how do you evaluate thereport contents?” to which we replied, “We confirm from the regular reports andmedium to long-term plans that there has been an improvement of 1% or more”. “Ifthe improvement hasn’t been reached, is there some penalty? ” ? “Investigation andinspections are carried out and improvements are specified. If there still isn’t any
improvement, notification and penalties are implemented.” ? “In Thailand there are
5-6,000 companies designated as specified businesses, and it is very hard for the 50
staff members of DEDE to check them all” ? “In Japan there are more than 14,000
designated factories and business operators. METI’s regional offices are in charge ofthe checking, but in the largest-scale Kanto region including Tokyo more than 6,000
designated factories, 40% of the whole country, are checked. However, this is carriedout by seven persons, so depending on the method used, DEDE will also be able tocarry this out,” Mr. Ogura commented.
In addition, when Mr. Ogawa asked about Mr. Sarat’s report “Did you refer to theJapanese standards for your EM Standard?” ? He answered “We referred to eachcountry’s standards. The standards are close to the Japanese standards. We used the
PDCA Concept.” Further, we asked for confirmation relating to the Step 1, Step 4,
and Step 5 described contents. Additionally, when Mr. Ogura asked “Is today the firsttime you have introduced the EM Standards, or have you done this many times so thateveryone knows them?”, he answered that he ha d introduced them many times.
Further, when Mr. Sarat asked “What is the energy conservation target figure in
Japan?”, we replied “An improvement of 1% or more is sought in energy
conservation. ” When asked “Rather than each company, how about the overall target
for Japan? ”, we answered “The Japanese prime minister has stated there should be a
reduction of 25% in CO2 emissions for the whole country compared to the 1990
figures by 2020, so that the energy conservation reduction amount must correspond to
this figure.”
2) Lecture: Present Situation and Future Plan for Energy Manageme nt in ASEAN (Mr.
Ivan, Mr. Ogura); Also in this lecture, translations of case studies and the usage
situation of the EM Handbook in the local language were also introduced as theASEAN PROMEEC/EM activities.
3) Lecture: Present Situation and Future Plan for Energy Management in Japan (Mr.
Ogura); Detailed introductions were given to key energy projections, Japanese energy
conservation methods (including revisions), energy management activities, and ECCJ
activities.
(3) Session 3: “Finding the Way Forward” (Discussion of Future Directions)
1) Lecture: Investigation Situation of International Energy Management Standards (Mr.
Wirat, TISI; Thailand Industrial Standards Institute); Introduction to the investigation
condition of ISO 50001 and the contents outline. Specification was given of thesimilarity of the ways of thinking between the ISO 50001 main text and the ASEAN
EM Handbook through extracts from the included Key Step Approach and EM
Structure Trees. In addition, Mr. Ogura used the ISO 50001 related materials that wereused at the GPP carried out in Indonesia this year by Mr. Yoshida, showing thecorrespondence with this configuration analysis and the PDCA Cycle. Further, a
III-24

comparison was given with the structure of the Japanese Energy Conservation Law,
and an introduction was also given to the specific points included in the Japanese
Energy Conservation Law that are not included in ISO 50001.
2) Discussion: Future of the Energy Management Systems in ASEAN and in Thailand
Although Ms. Amaraporn acted as the Chair and discussions were proceeded with, thedebate was not so lively. Mr. Ogawa reviewed the conclusions of the Focused-Group
Meeting during the visit to Thailand of PROMEEC/EM in fiscal 2007, and showed
proposals that had been arranged to be started. Because there were only three people
present this time who had participated in the previous Focused-Group Meeting, thisReview was effective from the point of view of utilizing common origins. Accordingly,
these conclusions were 90% the same when comparing the Thailand EM Program with
the ASEAN one, and it was possible to mutually study the points of difference. While
the two Programs maintain the same directions, Mr. Sarat emphasized that the EMS iscompulsory while the ASEAN EMH is voluntary. Although the ISO 50001 describes
about EM, it is a general description without specifics. Since the Thailand Energy
Conservation Law and EM standards have structures that include this information, Mr.
Ogura commented that it would be adequate to carry out responses with confidence.
(4) Main Participants: MOE/DEDE; Mr. Danai Egkamol; Director, Bureau of Energy
Regulation and Conservation, Mr. Prasert Sinsukprasert; Director of Energy Regulation
Division, Ms. Amaraporn Achavangkool; Senior Scientist, Technical and Efficiency

2. Company Visits(1) November 5 (Wednesday): CPRAM (CP Retailing and Marketing) company visit(2) November 6 (Thursday): CP Tower/CP Group visit
For more details, refer to the company visit record in Attached Materials III-2-8.
3. Wrap-up Meeting
On November 6 (Thursday), after the visit to CP Tower, a Wrap- up Meeting was held with
Mr. Sarat of DEDE in the Twin Tower Hotel, and the following confirmations and requests
were made.
(1) First, we deeply thanked Mr. Sarat for carrying out the meticulous preparations andsupport for the Focused-Group Meeting and the visits to the two companies this time.
(2) We could recover completed versions of the questionnaire for participants in the
Focused-Group Meeting from only 13 persons.
(3) Further, we requested Mr. Sarat to translate the names of participants and the names of thecompanies that they belong to from the participants’ registration list into English, and to
E- mail this to us.
(4) A request was received for a memo giving a summary of the discussions held in Session 3of the Focused-Group Meeting, and this was sent afterwards by E- mail. (Completedsending by Mr. Ogawa on November 10.)(5) In the relation with the ISO 50001, supplementary information was given that “These
contents, including the development of PDCA in the EM, are already included in
Thailand’s ECP (Energy Conservation Promotion) Act, in the EM Standard, in the
III-25

Japanese Energy Conservation Law, and in the ASEAN EMH. Moreover, while some areshown more specifically, it is believed that there will be no large influence. When
Thailand companies carry out exporting to Europe, America, and other areas, although thisISO may become required, because Thailand companies are fully aware and are practiced
in these EM contents, it should be possible for them to acquire this certification without
problem. Although it will be adequate to watch and respond to these trends in ISO fromthis point of view, it is adequate to place faith in the actual results of Thailand’s EM and toproceed”, and this was agreed.
(6) In the energy conservation training carried out by DEDE, we proposed that they should
carry out more PR activities of the actual results obtained not only in Thailand but also inneighboring ASEAN countries using the ASEAN PROMEEC. Although it appeared that
activities carried out through requests between governments are implemented at no cost,
there will be some that require costs including investments for improvement. As it will bedifficult to only carry activities that have no cost, we commented that changing to have acertain amount of cost would be a favorable improvement.
(7) Based on the ECP Act, Ministerial Regulations and Ministerial Announcements have been
made, and Seminars have been held 15-20 times to increase awareness and disseminate
these contents. These are called EM Guidance, and the actual enforcement is planned forMarch 2011. These are all currently being translated to English which will be completed
in several weeks, and we asked if it would be possible to send us copies by E- mail.
(8) Concerning the comment from Mr. Sarat at the Focused-Group Meeting that there were
5,000-6,000 Designated Factories & Buildings, and the processing of data from thesecompanies was difficult, when we asked what the report recovery rate for these companies
was, he replied 62-70%. In the case where the report is not submitted there is a penalty,
but because the ECP Act is a law for “Promotion”, actually penalties are not being
applied.
(9) Regarding the ASEAN EM Awards, part of the contents of the two companies visited thistime has already received an award in the Buildings sector. However, we recommended
both companies to submit applications, and we asked that they should submit theirapplications following discussions. Note that Mr. Sal, Vice President of CP Tower, thecompany that was visited on the 6th , is to participate in the PROMEEC Building Seminarin the Lao PDR, where he will report a Best Practice case study.
(10) Concerning the PROMEEC EM in the future, there was a comment that Thailand would
be prepared to consider participating in the Training as an advanced nation as a lecturer
for neighboring ASEAN countries.
4. Other(1) After the Focused-Group Meeting, the ECCJ pamphlet and JASE-World English version
CD was provided to DEDE and to participants wishing to have them.
(2) Responses to the participants’ questionnaire: The response rate was not high, withresponses received from 13 persons out of the 23 participants. The response details given
were also insufficient.

Manager)- Mr. Fumio Ogawa (ECCJ, Technical Cooperation Department, TechnicalExpert)- Mr. Hitoshi Kaji (ECCJ, Technical Cooperation Department, TechnicalExpert)6. Outline of Company and Past Developments
CPRAM Co., Ltd. is one of the core companies of the CP Group that is the second- largest in
Thailand, and carries out manufacture and sales of frozen foods including steamed dumplings,
spring rolls, and box lunches. Its most recent sales figures were 2,383.98 million baht
(approximately ¥7 billion), and around 30-50% of its products are exported to Europe, North
America, Asia, and Australia.
The company is implementing TPM and TQM, and has acquired ISO9001 and TIS18001. It
has also received many awards, including the Thailand Quality Class (Silver Prize ), Thailand
Energy Award, and Business Ethic Award.
The owner of the CP Group has a strong interest in energy conservation, and the Group is
currently promoting energy conservation activities. In this regard, the company implements
exchanges with DEDE, so that the visit this time could be realized.
In CPRAM, the company prepared a large venue (large lecture hall) together with a programof activities. In addition, in order to plan the sharing of information with its group companies,
the persons in charge of energy conservation in the group companies made us feel very
welcome.
7. Outline of CPRAM Co., Ltd.
CPRAM Co., Ltd. was established in December 1988. It is capitalized at 600 million baht
(approximately ¥1.8 billion), and has 3,721 employees. It uses two shift system with 16-hour
operation. Its daily production rate is 70.88 tons, and its factory floor area is 68,192m2 .
As the actual values in 2009, 1) the energy usage amount and production amount was
140,000GJ and 16,000 tons, 2) the energy usage amount and cost for each 1 kg produced was
9.32MJ/kg and 6.34 bahts/kg, and 3) the energy usage percentages were 2.86/61.03/36.12%
for LPG/electricity/fuel oil.
The electricity usage destination ratio was 63.04% for the freezing equipment, 32.75% for themachinery and facilities (including compressors), and 18.90% for others, and the amountconsumed for each 1 ton of produc tion was 1,579kWh (5,060 bahts)
SHE (Safety, Health and Environment) activities and KAIZEN activities are being
implemented, and energy conservation activities have been tackled since 2005. Considering
the results divided into the three topics of maintenance and safety, machinery and equipment
III-28renewal, and process revision, the following was found.
(1) As for the maintenance and safety activities, the fryer was reduced from 4,158kWh/D to
3,950kWh/D, and the freezing equipment was reduced (through reviewing the number ofoperating units) from 5,637kWh/D to 3,200kWh/D.
(2) As for the machinery and equipment renewal activities, starting with the annual reductionof 3,449,154 baht due to the additional installation of an economizer in the boiler, the useof low cost ballast, joint use of compression facilities, installation of control valves, andthe operation of air-conditioning facilities using a timer were implemented to achieve
results.
(3) The process revision was implemented for the spring roll manufacturing equipment andwater re-using equipment. In particular, the re-use of more than 90% of the water was
enabled in the water re-using equipment.
As for the plans for the future, in 2010 it is planned to replace the existing fueloil-burning
boiler with a gas-burning boiler, and there is a plan to introduce co-generation equipment in2011-2012.
8. Details of Cooperations(1) Explanation from this Organization
Because CPRAM Co., Ltd. is implementing activities following a local energy
conservation plan in Thailand, first Mr. Sarat gave a briefing in the Thailand language
about the purpose of the visit, and afterwards Mr. Ogura introduced an outline of the
PROMEEC activities. Finally, we provided the ECCJ pamphlet and the JASE-World CD.
DEDE provided very large documentation that described energy management and specifictechnical items that had been created specially for food factories.
(2) Impressions and Proposals following Factory Tour
Because the factory had been moved since the company’s founding, the current factoryhas been used for the past 13 years. Maintenance and safety and orderliness wereexcellent, and the equipment condition was good. Further, labels are attached to switchesreminding people to switch them off after use, and the reduction of the lighting is carriedout from a location where the brightness can be confirmed.
On the notice boards, the operation and production conditions are displayed in graph form
so that the energy conservation achievement can be understood in a short period of time.
Further, even though the Engineering Department has only a limited number of employees(10 employees or less), a person responsible for energy conservation has been assigned,
showing the company’s intention to tackle energy conservation.
Including the actual activities and results, we judged that the conditions for submitting anapplication to the ASEAN Awards System were satisfied, and as well as strongly
suggesting that they submit an application, we asked the FP to give them support for theapplication submission.
9. Impressions of Site
(1) Boiler Equipment
Two 5t/h fuel oil-burning smoke tube boiler units have been installed and depending on
the load, one unit is stopped (during the tour, one unit was stopped). The waste gas
temperature at the economizer outlet was 190℃, and the oxygen concentration in thewaste gas, which is measured once per month, was at the level of 4-5%. The heatefficiency exhibits a value of around 88%, which is a favorable operating condition for afuel oil-burning boiler. However, the steam piping valves and expansions are notthermally insulated, and improvements were proposed.
In addition, although the steam pressure was supplied at 7 BarG, it is believed that this isIII-29slightly high for the heating applications, and we proposed that they confirm the requiredpressure level at the demand side.
(2) Freezer Facilities
Nine freezers from 100HP to 600HP (2,650HP in total ˜ 2,000kW) are operated using
ON-OFF control (The coolant is ammonia). The vaporization temperature is -30℃ and thecondensation temperature is 45℃, so that it is believed that the COP is around 3.2.
Although COP reduction will be unavoidable by the portion that the outside air is high,because cooling water is being used it is believed that the condensation temperature canbe slightly lowered. We explained that energy conservation can be expected by planningto further optimize the number of units that are operating.
(3) Manufacturing Factories
These consist of five factories in total, which are manufacturing steamed dumplings andspring rolls. In order to prevent the inside of the factories from the ingress of various typesof bacteria, we could not enter the factories. However, consideration of energy
conservation is being carried out by means such as changing the setting temperature of the
air-conditioners in each manufacturing process and by installing cooling insulation cove rs
on the air-conditioner ducts.
(4) Cool Storage Warehouse, Waste Water Processing Equipment
Although we also had to use the same method for the cool storage warehouse as for the
manufacturing plants of carrying out inspection from the outside, measures are
implemented such as arranging double doors on the inlet ports to prevent the ingress ofoutside air.
In the waste water processing equipment, membrane type secondary waste water
processing equipment is additionally installed after the general gravity settlement
processing equipment. In the gravity settlement processing equipment, althoughcompressed air is supplied for aeration we explained that energy conservation can be
expected through using high efficiency aeration nozzles.

6. Company Outline and Past Developments (Refer to company pamphlet materials)
The C.P. (Charoen Pokpha nd) Group started out from the food industry, and has now
developed into various industries as one of largest corporate groups in Thailand (or evenone of Asia ’s). The previous day, a visit was made to the same Group ’s frozen food
manufacturer, and on this day one of the Group’s real estate management companies wasvisited. The C.P. Tower 1, which the company is managing, is an old building (constructed
19 years ago) standing on a main street in Bangkok. The room that awaited us was a
wide-open space (which can be viewed from outside) that is normally used for retailing, butwhich had welcoming messages decorating the walls, and thorough preparations had been
made using time schedules and materials. Outlines of the company and building are as
described in the separate pamphlets. In addition, Mr. Chakraphant and Ms. Uraiwan of thecompany had participated in the Focused-Group Meeting a few days before. Further, thecompany had previously been visited by the PROMEEC Buildings team and received the2008 ASEAN Buildings sector award, so the visit this time occurred after this. Additionally,
Mr. Sal had been invited to attend the PROMEEC Buildings Project Seminar in Lao PDR
next month as a guest speaker.
7. Outline of Energy Conservation Activities
Although during the previous day visit the 72- year-old leader of the C.P. Group, Mr. Thanin,
specially gave an explanation showing the Group ’s enthusiasm for energy conservation, on
this day also the top management gave an introduction to their clear energy conservation
policy. Based on this guidance, Working Groups and Strategic Teams have been formed,
and energy conservation is carried out according to a methodology that resembles the
PDCA Cycle. The company is proceeding with energy conservation in the common parts ofthe buildings, and the energy used is only electric power. The tenants also mainly use
electric power, but the electric power consumption amount ratio between the company andthe tenants is 40% against 60%. The largest power consumption in the company is for air
III-31

conditioning, followed by lighting, and then the elevators. Compared to the electricity
consumption amount in 2003, the company established a target of a 20% reduction over the
five-year period from 2005, and has steadily implemented energy conservation following
this plan. Out of the various types of measures, implementation is started first from items
that require investment amounts that are zero or very small, and then the company isproceeding to implement the items requiring investment. These items are being matchedwith improvements of BAS (Building Automation System) in the building. As a result of
this, a large reduction effect was realized, and they are now beginning to conduct educationof the tenants.
8. Details of Cooperations
Explanations of PROMEEC activities were given by Mr. Sarat and Mr. Ogura, and theother side gave an explanation of their energy conservation activities.
Although the energy conservation activities of the company were outstanding (they had
already won the Thailand Energy Award), there will be a problem in the future regarding
how much it will be possible to reduce the portion of energy consumed by the tenants.
Although we also gave suggestions including advice relating to this problem, because alarge number of the tenants in this case are companies in the same C.P. Group, it should beslightly easier to thoroughly implement the energy conservation policies.
9. Impressions of Site
The following locations were visited for site tour.
- Roof air-conditioning cooling tower, water pumps, and their electric panels, etc.
- Toilets on the 18th floor (lighting switches off 3 minutes after the last person leaves,utilization on a trial basis of equipment from various countries)- S.H.E. (Safety, Health, and Environment) office on the 18th floor (Lighting equipment
for each person’s use, etc.)- Package type Air Conditioner (PAC) on th18th floor. As the method of use, since the
PAC is stored in an exclusive room and the circulating air (part of the air uses outsideair?) is cooled, this is close to an Air Handling Unit.
- Car park space on the 8th floor (“T-5” continuous lighting is used)- BAS Control Room on the 3rd floor- Marketing Division office on the 3rd floor
Despite the old building that had restrictions from a layout point of view, various devices
were being planned to improve the facilities.
10. Advice from this Organization
The following comments were made by this organization.
- We were impressed by the various devices used in the offices and toilets.
- It may also be effective to apply film to windows that are subject to large amounts ofsunshine.
- In the BAS screen, it would be good to create a screen that would allow understanding at
a glance of the overall situation of each zone room temperatures.
- The thickness of the PAC filter on the 18th floor is greater that the examples in Japan. If
this is made thinner, △P will be reduced, and the power consumption should be
reduced.
- Why don’t you add starting and stopping equipment to the escalators according to humandetectors?
- When replacing 40W fluorescent lights with energy conserving types, it was possible toreduce them to 36W through control with a stabilizer. However, if the stabilizer isreplaced at the same time, reduction to 32W should be possible, reducing the electricIII-32consumption amount by a further 10%.
- The temperature difference of around 2 degrees in the air-conditioning chilling water
between the chilling equipment inlet and out let ports is too low (normally this should bearound 5-6 degrees).
There is also a possibility that the water pumps can be stopped.
- Although CO2 measurement and adjustment is not being carried out, a proposal was
made that if this is implemented, it will be possible to reduce the air introduction flow
amount, which may allow energy conservation. An introduction was given by Mr. Saratof DEDE to a total heat exchanger to carry out heat exchanging between the outside air
and inside air. Because the explanation stated that the outside air will be introduced by
opening the window, it is believed this will be a cheaper measure than CO2
measurement and regulation.
11. Introduction fo New Technology by DEDE, etc.
Mr. Sarat showed a DVD that introduced the technology of “Dehumidification using a
Heat Pump”. Then Mr. Ogura gave an explanation encouraging the company to participate
in the ASEAN Awards, gave the JASE-W technical materials CD, showed an example
from the Buildings-related pages, and gave a detailed explanation of the usage method.

III-33

III-2-4. Malaysia
Regarding the implementation in Malaysia, two weeks before we were to leave for the on-sitebusiness trip, a sudden request was received to change the schedule from November toDecember, so that there were major problems for the prior coordination. However,immediately before our departure we finally managed to gain agreement to implement the
program as planned, though we left Japan with some concern about the state of the
preparations. November was also Energy Month in Malaysia, in which many events wereplanned, but the Focal Point for the support, Ms. Norhasliza Mohd Mokhtar of PTM (theMalaysian Energy Conservation Center) was taking maternity leave and it seemed that
adequate communications had not been implemented inside PTM concerning how far the
preparations had proceeded. However, Ms. Norhasliza eventually returned to the company
and carried out the coordination so that the implementation could be carried out as planned.
Although the implementation plan had been determined by the consensus of the related
persons at the Inception Workshop in July, as long as a certain period of time was available,
the interchanging within the range of the visits to the three countries was supposed to bepossible through coordinating the mutual arrangements between the countries. However,
because the request this time was received immediately beforehand, and since there was noclear reason given, we strongly and repeatedly requested that the schedule should be
implemented as planned. In the event, due to the efforts of PTM, each of the events could becompleted without problems.
1. Intensive Seminar-Workshop Implementation (ISW)On November 9 (Monday), the Intensive Seminar-Workshop was implemented at PTM,
which lies around 30 minutes by car southwest of Kuala Lumpur city center. The
government-related ministries and agencies are moving to Putrajaya, which lies
approximately 1 hour by car south of the city center, but PTM has been establishedapproximately halfway between the city center and Putrajaya. PTM moved here in 2007, andits roughly 50 employees are conducting their research in a very spacious environment.
The ISW on the first day was attended by 30 persons in addition to related persons, making a
total of 44 persons when including the 10 persons from PTM and persons from ACE and
ECCJ, which is an appropriate size.
Although the Intensive Seminar-Workshop was presided over by the FP Ms. Norhasliza,
initially the PTM Programme Manager Mr. Hishamudin Ibrahim gave welcoming remarks onbehalf of the Acting Chief Executive Officer Mr. Ahmad Zairin Ismal. In his speech heintroduced the fact that from January next year, PTM would change its name to the GreenTechnology Center Malaysia (abbreviation: PTHM), and the related ministry above PTM
would also change its name slightly to the MEGTW (Ministry of Energy, Green Technology
and Water), in a system where the government is leading in “Green Technology”. After this,opening statements were given by Mr. Ogura of the ECCJ and Ms. Maureen of the ASEAN
Centre for Energy (ACE).
Although the commemo rative photographs were also taken inside the PTM building, there
were no banners or chairs so that people squatted down, making some harmony with theparticipants.
The program contents of the Intensive Seminar-Workshop should be referred to in the
Attached Materials III-2-9, and an outline is shown below. In addition, the lectures and related
documentation will be circulated as a separate document.
(1) Session 1: PROMEEC Projects/PROMEEC EM Project: Outline & Achievements
1) Lecture: Outline of PROMEEC Project; Ms. Maureen, ACE2) Lecture: Implementation Plan of the PROMEEC (Energy Management) Project; Mr.
III-34Ogura In particular, because this was the first time to hold Training in the use of theEnergy Management Handbook in Malaysia, we requested that partic ipants should not
only take part in the activities of current day, but also in the following day activities.
Further, relating to this report, an introduction was given by Ms. Norhasliza thatapplications for the ASEAN Awards of current fiscal year should be submitted by
April 30, 2010.
3) Afterwards, although it had been originally planned that the host country, Malaysia,
should first report on the energy conservation conditions and the implementation
activities and improvements achieved through PROMEEC, there was no time for the
preparation and this was omitted.
(2) Session 2: “ASEAN Energy Management System”; Functions & Program
1) Lecture: Outline of the Latest “ASEAN Energy Management System”; Mr. Ogura
2) Lecture: Results of Previous Fiscal Year and Plans for the Current Fiscal Year relating
to “ASEAN Award System of Best Practices in Energy Management for Industry &Building”; Ms. Maureen3) Lecture: “Information System to Disseminate Awarded Cases” (Introduction to
Analysis and Popularization Points relating to the Application Item Contents in
Previous Fiscal Year); Mr. Ogura
4) Lecture: “Cyber Search System to Utilize the Existing Implementing Organizations”;
Ms. Maureen
5) Q & A:
A) Requests relating to how to apply for energy analyses, methods of participatingin EM projects, difficulties in understanding how to make submissions to theawards, and requests to provide more support to companies were mainly made toPTM, but Ms. Norhasliza replied that due to the limited budget not very much
could be done. We commented that if the concerned companies asked PTM
concerning the participation in EM Projects and the applications for Awards itshould not require expenses. This appeared to indicate that this type of
information had not been adequately provided until now, and we thought that the
ISW this time might help to provide a good opportunity.
B) Further, regarding the ASEAN Award, Ms. Norhasliza introduced two boundpamphlets titled “Malaysian Winners from ASEAN Energy Awards 2000-2008(Energy Efficiency Best Practices in Buildings and Energy Management(described in detail below))” and “Malaysian Winners from ASEAN EnergyAwards 2000-2008” (Renewable Energy Project Competition)”, and gave copies
to those persons expressing interest.
C) The question “Where is the ‘ASEAN Trainer Training Team?’” was asked. We
replied that “We have a plan to build this in the future, but it is not ready yet”.
D) A participant from Sapura Co. requested that “We previously had an analysis
carried out in the PROMEEC Building Project around 2005. Could you let us
know the results?” In response, we replied that the report had been translated toEnglish and should be able to be confirmed on the ECCJ and ACE websites.
6) Lecture: Outline Introduction to the “Energy Management Handbook”; Mr. Ogawa
7) Lecture: Introduction to the Functions and Methods of Using the “In- house Databasefor Industries & Buildings”; Ms. Maureen8) Lecture: Introduction to the Functions and Methods of Using the “Technical Directoryfor Industries & Buildings”; Ms. Maureen(3) Session 3: Case Study
1) Lecture: “Basic Procedure of Group Work Guided by Energy Management
Handbook”; Mr. Ogawa
III-35

2) Group Work: The 29 general participants were divided into three groups, which
commonly selected the Grand Mercure (Thailand) (Winner of the EM Building infiscal 2008) as the hotel case study that was to be investigated and discussed. As theoutput, the participants were asked to give the good points and recommendations. For
the groupings, Ms. Norhasliza used the participant list beforehand to establish groups
while giving consideration that participants from the same companies should not be
assigned to the same groups, and the groups were announced before the work started.
The work that was divided into three locations was carried out using different styles
in each group, from the reading out of the information to the discussions, and heateddiscussions were exchanged. Group 1 used the glass board at the front wall of themeeting room, Group 2 put the whiteboard in the center of the meeting room, while
Group 3 used the glass board at the back of the meeting room, which they used forwriting their investigations and results. Among the groups, some carried out analyses
while already being aware of the Key Step Approach procedures. The group work wasallocated 1.5 hours, but everyone managed to finish a little before this.
3) Group Work Results Report: Although 10- minute reporting was planned for eachgroup, the actual results varied between 8-11 minutes. Each group gave many good
points and recommendations, and there were many slight differences in the processes.
Because the subject was a case study that had been specially recommended as aWinner, while it was easy to determine the good points, many recommendations werealso given. As already mentioned, groups also carried out verification following the
Key Step Approach, and their advanced level of discussions was apparent. It isbelieved that this is because consultants who are related to ESCO were present. While
it is thought that fo r most participants this was the first experience of carrying out
investigations in group work, in particular all three groups were dealing with acommon topic so that their mutual presentations meant that they listened carefully tothe other presentations. Further, a group also quickly developed the investigations andsummary of results in a short time period as a PowerPoint document for reporting.
4) Review by ECCJ: As well as giving good evaluation of the presentations using PPT
documents that we had not seen in the group work in other countries, we also praised
the enthusiastic participation of all members in each group when tackling the activities.
Further, although determining the excellence of the report contents was not a target,
including the fact that there were many high level opinions expressed, many ideas
were expressed in the Group Work and Small Group Activities that could not havebeen obtained through the know-how and experience only of individuals. This wasimportant for participants to experience, and we requested that participants should
develop these kinds of activities in the future even after they have returned to theircompanies and organizations.

2. Training relating to the Usage Methods of the Energy Management Handbook
The Training Program on the second day is shown in the Attached Materials III-2-10. The
number of participants on this day was almost the same as in the previous day, with one new
person taking part.
(1) Session 1: Seminar by ECCJ
1) Lecture: Purpose of the Training Course; Mr. Ogura
2) Lecture: Detailed Explanation of the “Energy Management Handbook for ASEAN”;
Mr. OgawaA joint explanation was given of the “ASEAN Energy Management Handbook” that
had been filed with the distributed materials and the “EM Handbook for ASEAN:
Main Contents & Guidelines” from the slide projection materials of previous day.
Because this was the first time to hold a Training Course relating to these contents in
Malaysia, and since the participants did not include any participants from the previous
Intensive Seminar-Workshop held in 2006, the participants showed great interest. In
the previous Seminar-Workshop there was a question regarding whether “Six Sigma isalso referenced in the small group activities”, and this time we also prepared
information on Six Sigma, but there was no clear influence from this point.
3) The lecture: “How to Utilize In- house Database & Technical Directory in EM” by Ms.
III-37

Maureen was omitted due to restrictions of time and the fact that it had some overlap
with the lectures introduced on the previous day.
4) Lecture: Important Guidelines for Improvements using the EM Handbook; Mr. Ogura
5) Q & A: We’d like to proceed with benchmarking, but it’s difficult. What should we do?
? In the case of Buildings, the figures are comparatively widely publicized so thatthey are easy to obtain. The case of Industries is very difficult. In Japan, there aresituations where the figures are consolidated in each sector (for example the steel
confederations). Further, since there is a description of benchmarking in the EM
Handbook, we’d like you to refer to this. In the ASEAN EM System, before
implementing benchmarking, it is recommended that you establish an In- house
Database. In addition to this, figures should be obtained from some information
sources, and then the Benchmarking should be carried out. The figures included in theBest Practices in the ASEAN Awards should also be helpful as a reference. Then an
explanation was given by PTM regarding the Building Energy Benchmarking Programthat they are currently implementing. In this program, the data from the buildings ofcompanies that have entered into an agreement with PTM is input, and in return allparticipants (currently around 60 companie s) can be told what their position iscompared to the others, for example in the Building Energy Index. Access to theinformation is achieved by inputting an allocated password.
(2) Workshop (Group Activities)
1) Energy conservation activities were carried out according to the materials of the twocompanies described below:
As shown below, the two subject companies won the ASEAN Energy Award in 2008.
In order that the materials regarding the two companies (documents) would be read on
the previous evening and assimilated, an explanation was given on the previous day,so that each group was able to smoothly start the discussions.
Factory: PT. Eastern Pearl Flour Mills (Indonesia), 1st Runner-up in Industry Field
Building: HSBC Brunei (Brunei), 2nd Runner-up in Building Field
2) Based on the above introduction contents, experience in group work was carried out
relating to the evaluation of the energy conservation activities and the provision ofadvice regarding improvement plans possible in the future.
We gave an explanation that the activities of today would realize a higher level ofresults than those of previous day for the following reasons:- This is second consecutive day of experiences for participants following theactivities of previous day- The materials were completed during the previous night- There is more time than on the previous day
That is, in the current day participants were to imagine that they had become energy
conservation consultants. They should evaluate the good and bad points of thecustomer ’s energy conservation activities and were to propose an Improvement
Action Plan including the Time Schedules.
The division into groups was carried out in the same way as on the previous day(each group had about 10 members). However, it was acceptable for the roles of thepeople inside the groups to be changed (the presenters were also changed). For the
topics, Group No.1 and No.3 chose the factory (Eastern Pearl), while Group No.2
chose the building (HSBC). Among the participants, two persons were from factories,
while the others were mainly from buildings and consultancies. In view of this, it
was surprising that so many people selected the factory case study.
3) Group activity implementation and results presentation:
For each group, cons idering the limited time (approximately 1.5 hours), the lively
III-38

discussion and summarizing of the results were effectively implemented. In addition,
the presentations were given by persons familiar with presentation methods.
(3) Comments from participants, and response by PTM:
Many positive comments relating to energy conservation were received from theparticipants, and there were situations where some of the comments seemed to beexerting pressure on PTM. The comment of “The cost of electricity is too high. Can’t you
introduce principles of competition? ” was heard from some participants. (Questions werealso asked regarding the cost of electricity in Japan.)
The following explanations were given by Ms. Norhasliza of PTM.
- Energy Management Training Course- EE&C Sustainable Award (Currently being planned?)- National Energy Competition (The application period is April of next year)
In addition, she also said “If you have good ideas relating to energy conservation, please
let me or Mr. Hishamudin know. We wish to continue with energy conservation in the
future based on the opinions of everyone at this time.”(4) Review by ECCJ: Although the number of people was slightly reduced in the afternoon,
we wish to thank participants for their enthusiasm right to the end in the group work thatwas carried out twice, in the current day and on the previous day. In addition, looking at
the investigation contents of each group, we wish to praise the fact that participants havealready adopted these EM methods to a large extent, such as by carrying out verification
using the 11 steps of the Key Step Approach. To gether with the actual sensing of theresults from carrying out the activities using SGA, we hope very much that you will also
develop the contents achieved this time in each of your companies and organizations.
(5) Presentation of Certificates of Completion
Lastly, certificates of completion that were signed by ACE, PTM, and ECCJ wereawarded by Mr. Ogura at the request of PTM to all the participants in the Seminar andTraining on the two days.
(6) Other: Inspection of the PTM Office Building
Utilizing the lunch break period, the PTM Principal Energy Engineer Mr. Steve A.
Lojuntin showed the participants and related persons round the PTM building (which was
also used as the venue).
This was originally known as the ZEO (Zero Energy Office), but is now called the GEO(Green Energy Office). The figure for the BEI (Building Energy Index, kWh/m2 /year)that is normally around 300 was found to be 136 in the EE in Building, Guideline (1989),
and 100 and 85 in the public office LEO Building and the EC Building respectively. In
contrast, in this building (when PTM moved here in 2007) the amount of electricity
generated from solar power, and the electric power consumption amount were balanced
by design. However, although the electric power consumption amount was designed to be
45, this was actually 90 initially, though it has been currently reduced to 65 as a result ofefforts made in reduction. Other than the solar power generation, the re is also
wind-powered generation, and electricity importing and exporting are both carried out
according to the time of day and weather. The implementation of double glazing allows
passage of light but not heat. The building’s thermal insulation was also strengthened. For
other details, refer to the separate materials. Note that because the building is being
showcased, 3,000 persons are visiting annually, including schoolchildren.
3. Company Visits(1) November 11 (Wednesday): Visit to Prince Court Medical Center(2) November 12 (Thursday): Visit to Sapura Co.
For more details, refer to the company visit records in the Attached Materials II-2-11.
III-39

4. Other(1) Wrap-up Meeting：On the afternoon of November 12 (Thursday), a summary of the local activities carriedout this time was held at PTM.
1) First, there was the overlapping of these activities with the holding of Energy Month inNovember, and the apprehension about holding these activities at this time. We gavesincere thanks for the great efforts of the persons related with PTM that made it
possible to realize the Intensive Seminar-Workshop, Training and the company visit
interchanges without problem.
2) We also thanked them again for their efforts in arranging participation by 30 persons
from 23 companies even though there was inadequate preparation time after it had been
decided to implement the activities.
3) Further, although this was the first time to hold ASEAN EM Training in Malaysia, wewere happy that the participants showed good understanding. As well as continuing tohold these activities in the future, we requested that PTM should also carry out theTraining using EM Handbook.
4) Regarding the promotion of the ASEAN Award applications, because many people did
not know that this type of system existed, we requested that PTM should carry out
promotion of the awards, and that they should pay particular attention to the follow-up
of the companies and persons participating this time. In particular, although the Prince
Court Medical Center that was visited this time is an ultra high-class specification
hospital, they are at the same time enthusiastically tackling energy conservation, andwe requested that PTM should offer cooperation and guidance towards making theapplication.
5) Looking at the responses to the questions for participants, because many morecomments were written by participants than for any of the other countries so far, werequested that PTM should also read the comments and use them for reference.
6) We once again gave the JASE-World CDs, and requested that PTM should contributeto activities in the next fiscal year by anticipating a large budget. (See related note in(2) below)
7) In addition, Ms. Norhasliza expressed her thanks to ECCJ/ACE for their cooperation
regarding these activities. She also commented that “We are planning to hold a
National Competition Award, but rather than a one-time event I would like to make it asustainable event. I’d like to study how I can do this. In this activity, I’d like to also
refer to the ASEAN Award Concept. As the ASEAN EM Handbook has good contents,
I’d like to publish it and popularize it. I’m sorry that there were so few participantsfrom factories. The Seminar may be better as an event with 30-40 participants rather
than one with 100 participants. Do you think that the size of the event this time wassuitable?”, to which we commented that “We also think that a 30-40 person size isappropriate for events including SGA Training in EM.”
8) Further, we also proposed that “Why don’t you investigate the introduction andestablishment of an energy conservation education and training facility like the one in
Thailand?” We also said that “Depending on the situation, there may be a method ofrequesting support from the Japanese government or from JICA. Why don’t you
discuss this with the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water?”(2) When talking with Mr. Hishamudin of PTM during the interval, he said that as GreenTechnology Funding next year, the scope of 1.5 billion RM (approximating to more than
450 million US$) would be provided as 50 million RM (approximating to more than 15
million US$) for each case in the manufacturing industry, and 10 million RM(approximating to more than 3 million US$) for each case in the retrofit business. He
III-40expressed concern regarding the ways that these budgets should be used.
(3) In addition, before the Wrap-up Meeting we could meet with the Acting Chief Executive
Officer Mr. Ahmad Zairin Ismail, who was very busy and often out of the office, and weconveyed our thanks for his great efforts regarding related persons for these activities andfor the cooperation of PTM.
(4) Results of questionnaire for participants: Out of the 30 general participants, responses
were received from 16 persons. The evaluations of the Training using the EM Handbook
were mostly Excellent or Good and Very Useful or Useful. In addition, many comments
were written, making us believe that Malaysian people have a strong interest in energy
conservation.

- Mr. Yutaka Ogura (ECCJ, Technical Cooperation Department, General
Manager)- Mr. Fumio Ogawa (ECCJ, Technical Cooperation Department, TechnicalExpert)- Mr. Hitoshi Kaji (ECCJ, Technical Cooperation Department, TechnicalExpert)6. Outline of Company
The PCMC was established in 2006, and in 2007 it began operations as a state-of-the-art
hospital. Equity investment is provided by Petronas, and guidance is received from thefollowing two companies under a five-year agreement. First the details of medical treatment
are determined by the Vienna Medical University and its attached hospital (founded in
1365; a leading European university and hospital), and the hospital management is carriedout by VAMED (the well-known VAMED Malaysia has already 21 years of actual results in
the industry for overall hospital management) (Apparently the reason for choosing theVienna University is simply because someone had personal connections with it at the time.)
First we viewed a video and received an explanation in the Auditorium. The key points
were as follows.
- The building has three floors below ground (car parking) and seven floors above ground,with a total area of 100,800m2 . Out of this, the air-conditioned area is 63,000m2 .
- The same company’s Vision, Mission, and Values are as follows･ Vision: Leading Healthcare provider in Asia
･ Mission: Family-centered Healthcare Services･ Values: Professionalism, Compassion, Integrity, Teamwork- Placing emphasis as a Center of Excellence on five fields including Heart/Lung, Plastic
Surgery, and Urology- Adopting a system that allows 24- hour emergency admissions- Although the final number of beds for admission is 300, only 185 beds are currently
occupied. (The Occupancy Rate is approximately 60%.)
7. Outline of Energy Usage Conditions and Energy Conservation Activities(1) Energy Usage Conditions- The building is provided with Total Comprehensive BASA, and a SMV System is also
installed. In addition, consideration was also given to energy conservation in the design,
so that double glazing, double doors, and motor VSD is being used.
- As the energy, electricity, natural gas (boiler fuel), and diesel oil (for emergency power
generation) are used, and the ratios are 92%, 4%, and 4%.
- According to the data accumulated from the Daily Log She et between January andIII-44

September this year, the electricity usage amount was 1.5-1.9 kWh per month.
- The momentary Peak Load was approximately three times the Average Load.
- The usage destination of this electricity is as follows.
Central Air Conditioning
77%
Lighting
7%
Elevators & others
7%
Kitchen
6%
Separate Air Conditioning
3%(2) Energy Conservation Activities- In addition to the previously described considerations in the design, the company is also
carrying out energy conservation activities. For this purpose an Energy Committee has
been established. (Other than the Quality Improvement Program, an Energy Saving
Program is being implemented.)- Concerning the energy conservation activities, attention is placed on operations andhuman behavior. In connection with this, cooperation is obtained from PTM. (They arealso participating in the Building Benchmarking Program.) Further, training is also
being implemented in the company.
- As the methods of implementation, first “No cost items” are tackled (slide of Table 1),then the facilities efficiency is checked (slide of Table 2), and additionally the
management promotion and handbook usage (slide of Table 3) is also implemented.
- For Benchmarking purposes, the BEI is being calculated. Comparing this with otherfigures, the following is found.
Malaysian Standard
300 kWh/m2 /year
Energy Efficient Building
135
Hospital
250
PCMC
302
- As explained previously, investigations were carried out because the PCMC figures
were poor. One possibility for consideration was that the company’s operations have
not yet achieved a stable condition (the number of patients is increasing), the area usedin the calculation of the Energy Index is not yet being fully used, and further that themost appropriate usage points have not yet been discovered.
- New wards are opening approximately every two weeks. Despite this, efforts are being
made to maintain the 800,000RM electricity cost . (A stable situation is due to bereached by the end of next year.)
8. Impressions of Site
This building was constructed for the purpose of realizing the highest level hospital fortreating the King and other VIPs. Our impression of the hospital was that it looked like a
5-star hotel built to the latest design. The lobby extending from the first floor reception is
also luxurious with its wide space and large decorations. Further, in the upper part of thelobby there is a large space extending up through the floors to the top floor (this cut-out
space can be seen from the elevators).
The Control Room for the entire building is located on the first basement floor, andmanagement using BAS is being carried out. Further, on the notice boards there were KPITeam notices which indicated that small group activities were being carried out.
In addition, according to the layout, the section that becomes the CEP where theenergy-related motive power machines are concentrated is arranged in a sectioned-off area.
In the vicinity of the Electric Room, two emergency generators (each 1,000kVA) areinstalled. One of these has been calculated to cover the minimum electric power required by
the hospital for maintaining operations. (It starts up in approximately 15 seconds when aIII-45

power cut occurs.)
In the Chiller Room, VSD is installed and used.
On Level 7 (the top floor) there is an AHU Room, where there is a water pump.
Further, taking a ward as an example, we were able to view the Leve l 6 Maternity Ward. In
addition to individual rooms, there are also family rooms (mothers staying in the hospitalwith their children). All of the rooms had luxurious space and facilities.
9. Details of Discussions (Explanation from our side and response of visited company)
Because Ir. Al-Khairi Mohd Daud and Ir. Mohd Kastry Zahid attended the Seminar andTraining Course two days before and on the previous day, the other side could understandwell that the EM Handbook is part of the ASEAN EM System and the PROMEEC Project.
(1) Comments and advice from our side
- We would like to thank you for making the adequate preparations in spite of the shortperiod this time. While not much time has passed since the start of the operations as a
hospital, we could understand the great efforts that have been made and results
obtained.
- While the luxurious facilities including the large cut-out space has many problems froman energy conservation point of view, we understand that preference was to be given to
the appearance. While the limitations as a hospital, namely the “prioritization of safety,
sanitation and treatment” may become limitations in the future, we believe this stage
has not yet been reached.
Although the hospital is now in the process of growing, where the operations are notstable, it will be advisable to accumulate data related to the operations at the current
time. We believe this will be useful in the analysis of the fixed parts and variable partsof the future energy consumption amounts.
- Advice was given as follows
・ We believe there is room for switching off some lighting in the common areas.
・ For the air-conditioning setting temperature in the Electric Room, 40℃ is acceptable
if there is only machinery. We would like you to investigate this.
・ When people are not present, we would like to see devices for switching off thelighting and air-conditioning.
・ It is advisable to change the emergency lamps in the car park to LED types.
・ If a heat exchanger is provided for the fresh air and recirculation air introduced in
the AHU, it will possible to avoid releasing the specially chilled air to the outside.
(2) Other
PTM mentioned several points, including the fact that energy conservation would bepossible if the air-conditioning setting temperature is raised.
Finally, Mr. Ogura gave copies of the ECCJ pamphlet and the Japanese latest energy
conservation technology CD, and recommended their participation in the ASEAN
Awards in the future if the hospital’s operations can be stabilized and energy
conservation actual results can be confirmed.

6. Company Outline and Past Developments
Sapura maintains the building that was visited this time together with other buildings in
Kuala Lumpur city center, and is carrying out the renting of space as office buildings. In
addition to its office space renting business, the Sapura Group is also developing various
businesses including insurance, transportation, and car dealing.
The building visited this time had PTM (the Malaysian Energy Conservation Center) as atenant until 2007, and the building additionally was subject to a PROMEEC building energy
audit in 2005. Further, at the start of this year, PTM carried out an energy audit and iscreating a detailed report.
In this way, the visit this time was realized through the close relationship with PTM.
7. Outline of Sapura Co. Building
The building was completed in 1998. It is a 10-story office building with a total floor areaof approximately 48,000m2 including the car park, and an air-conditioned floor area ofapproximately 22,000m2 . The number of people entering the building each day is
1,000-1,200 people on a working day and around 30 people on holidays.
There are eight main tenants, and out of the eight, six are Group companies. Further, theoccupancy rate is approximately 100%.
As the energy, approximately 6,000MWh of electricity is used each year (in fiscal 2007,
including the tenants’ portion), and gas and fuel oil are not being used. Further, because thesewage is centrally processed there are no sewage processing facilities in the building. A
BAS (Building Automation System) has been introduced and is being operated for energy
management.
The electricity usage destinations are 46.1% for the common area air-conditioning and37.8% by tenants. Other destinations are 6.6% for socket equipment 5.4% for lighting incommon areas, 1.7 for elevator equipment, and 2.4% for ventilation equipment.
Malaysia uses a system in which buildings are evaluated as one of four levels according tofigures known as the BEI (Building Energy Index) which consist of the air-conditioning
floor area as the denominator divided by the annual total electricity usage amount. The
Sapura Co. building has been evaluated in the B Category (Second level from the top; 156−172kWh/m2 /yr). Mr. Johari is aiming to raise this level to the A Category, and isreceiving energy audits and advice from PTM. However, the percentage of the electricity
III-47charge taken up by the rental fee is only 1-2%, and it is apparently difficult to receive theunderstanding and cooperation of the management and tenants regarding energy
conservation. Accordingly, by mainly tackling the energy conservation activities on a
No/Low Cost basis, Mr. Johari participated in the SW/TR this time to acquire proficiency inenergy management methods.
As the energy conservation measures that are currently being implemented, there are 1)
lighting of every second lamppost, 2) shortening of the lighting time for the car parking
facilities, 3) reduction of the ma in lobby lighting, 4) switching off the corridor lighting
according to the time of day, and 5) shortening of the chiller equipment operating time.
Although the switching on and off of the lighting equipment is carried out manually, theyplan to switch on and off the lighting automatically using sensors.
8. Details of Cooperations(1) Explanation by this Organization
Based on the enthusiastic tackling of energy conservation by the persons responsible forenergy management, we proposed that they submit an application to the ASEAN Award
System, and we also requested that support be provided by the FP.
(2) Response of Visited Company
Assisted by the fact that PTM itself was once a resident of this building, PTM is also
cooperating with the energy conservation. Mr. Johari, the person responsible for energy,
is also very enthusiastically implementing activities following this intention. For
example, because this building stretches in the east-west direction it receives a strong
influence from sunlight according to the time of day. By carrying out detailed manualadjustment from the metering room and by also gaining the understanding of tenants
regarding the corridor lighting in common-use areas, they are continually making efforts
to gradually reduce the lighting.
9. Impressions of Site
The building has a luxurious design, and includes a large meeting room (theater) which isonly used around six times each year, and an owner’s floor where there appears to be very
few people. The making of further efforts to promote understanding and adoption of energy
conservation awareness by the management and among the tenants will be desirable. As thefirst step towards this, we explained that activities such as affixing labels to the lighting
switch parts will be effective.
In addition, specific energy conservation proposals were given as follows:(1) Movable partition type walls should be prepared in the meeting room, so that
air-conditioning equipment needs only to be operated in the space that matches the scopeof the meeting(2) Introduction of human detector sensors in the toilet lighting(3) Because there are times when the door of the entrance remains open, an air curtain should
be installed in the entrance(4) Light-resistant film should be applied to window glass(5) Halogen lamps in the lobby should be replaced by CFL lamps

III-2-5. Brunei Darussalam
1. Intensive Seminar-Workshop Implementation
On November 16 (Monday) from 08:30 to 17:30 hrs the Intensive Seminar-Workshop washeld in a 5th floor meeting room of the Kiulap Plaza Hotel, the hotel where this organization
was staying, attended by 45 persons. The program is shown in Attached Materials III-2-12.
During the welcome remarks, Mr. Alidi Mahmud, Head of the Energy Division of the Prime
Minister’s Office was present, together with Mr. Hiroshi Okochi, First Secretary of theJapanese Embassy in Brunei Darussalam. First, the Seminar-Workshop was opened with thewelcome remarks given by FP Mr. Ahmad Mohamad, Head of the Sustainable Energy Unit in
the Energy Division of the Prime Minister’s Office, who explained that the Energy
Management Guide, Basic Guide of Energy Audit for Building, and Energy Labeling for Air
Conditioners had been completed and would be published. This was followed by opening
statements by Mr. Ogura of ECCJ and Mr. Zamora of ACE. In Mr. Ogura’s statement heparticularly stated that although Brunei Darussalam was a fortunate country with rich reservesof fossil energy and low energy prices which makes energy conservation difficult, following
the depletio n of the earth resources the promotion of the efficient use of energy anddevelopment of renewable energy is a requirement. He also emphasized that he was expectingthat training would be carried out on the Brunei side following the creation of the Brunei
version Energy Management Guide. Afterwards, Mr. Alidi and Mr. Okochi talked with eachother during the time until taking the overall gathering photographs and the coffee break. In
addition, Mr. Okochi indicated that the recently appointed Ambassador Norik i Hirose hadtime in his schedule and wished to meet with us, so the times were adjusted to use thelunchtime on the 16th to make a visit to the Japanese Embassy from 12:30 to 13:00 hrs., where
we could hold talks with the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary in Brunei
Darussalam, Mr. Noriki Hirose.

Ogura In particular, because the Energy Management Guide had just been completed
in Brunei based on the ASEAN Energy Management Handbook, and this was the firsttime that training would be implemented by persons from Brunei using the Guide, acall was made for people to participate not only in the current day’s activities but also
in those on the following day.
3) Lecture: Under the title of “EE&C Activities in Brunei Darussalam (known below asBD)”, Mr. Ahmad gave an introduction and explanation of the following items inPowerPoint format.
A) BD Key Energy Statistics: Comparison of Electricity Consumption per capita(2005) in EAS Countries. Compared with other ASEAN countries, BD was in
the high position of third following Singapore and Japan. Its number of cars per
capita was third behind the U.S. and Canada, ahead of Japan which was in fourth
place. 53% of its energy consumption was transportation, while housing andcommerce was 32%, and industry was low at 13%.

B) The Ambassador talked about the situation regarding automobiles in Brunei andabout hybrid cars. In Brunei gasoline is cheap and the number of cars isincreasing, making an overconsumption situation. A change to hybrid cars would
reduce the gasoline consumption amount and allow the amount of petroleum
exports to be increased. Although Brunei’s citizens like fast cars, he believes thatit may be possible to switch from large cars to hybrid or electric small sized cars.
He recommended that HSBC (Hong Kong Shanghai Bank) should use 10 Prius
vehicles, since Toyota are to introduce plug- in cars from December. He
wondered whether it would be possible to have cars that combine a PV panel
with a plug- in or hybrid car, or combine LNG and fuel cells, etc.
C) The Brunei government does not readily provide subsidies. Without investment,
energy conservation becomes simply a slogan. He will ask the Royal Family totake the initiative.
D) The introduction of the latest technologies will be necessary to improve low
efficiency, and Brunei should study the technologies from Japan.
E) Because the number of people in Brunei is sma ll, many experiments can be tried.
F) Ambassador Hirose was formerly in the Economic Planning Agency. Relating to
the above, he also encouraged Mr. Ahmad to assist.

1) Lecture: “Basic Procedure of Group Work Guided by Energy Management
Handbook”; Mr. Ogawa None of the participants knew of Six Sigma. Because thequestion “Why did people in Japan decide to carry out energy conservation? ” wasasked by a participant, we answered tha t “When the two “Oil Shocks” occurred in1973 and 1979, they had a large influence in Japan, which has very few fossil
resources. This became linked to cost reduction activities by companies from theviewpoint of securing international competitiveness, and in each workplace (SGA)
self-help efforts were tackled to improve energy conservation. Meanwhile, in 1979 theEnergy Conservation Law was established, in which the Energy Manager System
together with the obligation to submit regular reports and medium to long-term plans
was thoroughly implemented.”2) Group Work: The 30 general participants were divided into four groups which wereasked to choose a case study from between the Industry case of Thai Cold Rolled Sheet
Public (Thailand, Winner of the Fiscal 2008 EM Industry) and the Buildings case of
HSBC (Brunei Darussalam, 2nd Runner-up in the Fiscal 2008 EM Building) and eachof the two groups were required to carry out investigations and discussions. As theoutput, the groups were asked to give the Good Points and Recommendations. For thegroupings, in advance Mr. Hakeem used the participant list to establish groups while
giving consideration that participants from the same companies should not be assigned
to the same groups, and the groups were announced beforehand. The work that was
divided into four locations was carried out using different styles, from reading out the
information to the discussions, and perhaps because of the presence of senior persons
from each ministry or due to a national trait, careful reading and discussions were
exchanged in a relatively quiet atmosphere. The three women who took part in two of
the groups, appeared to take the leadership in many cases. In almost all the groups,
analyses were carried out while remaining aware of the Key Step Approach procedures.
1.5 hours were allocated, but some groups still found the time to be insufficient.
3) Group Work Results Report: Although 10- minute reporting was planned for eachgroup, many of the actual results were slightly short, varying between 4-9 minutes.
Although each group carried out analysis following the steps of the Key Step Approach,most of the groups could not link this with defining many good points andrecommendations. Because the subjects were case studies that had been specially
recommended as a Winner and as a 2nd Runner-up, we had wondered how easy it
would be to give recommendations. It is thought that for most participants this wastheir first experience of carrying out investigations in group work, and because each
two groups were dealing with common topics they took great interest in the otherpresentations on the same topics.
4) Review by ECCJ: Praise was given regarding the enthusiastic participation by all
members, despite the somewhat quiet appearance of the groups. Further, althoughdetermining the excellence of the report contents was not an objective, we had thoughtthat it would not have been easy to give recommendations for these good case studies,but we were impressed by how many recommendations were given. By using the Key
Step Approach, understanding could be advanced, and many ideas were expressed in
the Group Work and Small Group Activities that could not have been obtained throughthe know-how and experience only of individuals. This was important for participants
to experience, and we requested that participants should develop these kinds ofactivities in the future even after they return to their companies and organizations. Notethat we also requested that the materials analyzing the two case studies using the 11
III-51

steps of the Key Step Approach on this day should be provided to allow confirmation.

2. Training relating to Brunei Version Energy Management Guide Usage Methods
The Training in Brunei Darussalam this time was a revolutionary style, consisting of giving
lectures on the contents of the Energy Management Guide that was originally created in
Brunei Darussalam (as a departure point for the Energy Management Handbook), followed bytraining based on this. The successful completion of this style of training would be highly
evaluated, and would have great significance in highlighting the aims of the PROMEEC (EM).
The program is shown in Attached Materials III-2-13.
(1) Lecture Preparations
In the beginning, a supplementary explanation was given concerning the “Comparison
Chart between the ASEAN EM Handbook Key Step Approach and the ASEAN Awards
System Best Practice Case Study Contents” that Mr. Ogawa had distributed lastly on theprevious day. It appeared that the participants had understood this to be a bridge between
the contents of the experiences of previous day and studies and the Training contents oftoday.
Following this, Mr. Ogura gave an explanation using slide materials of the current day’s
Training contents. He particularly stressed the significance of using the Energy
Management Guide that was produced in Brunei Darussalam. The participants fully
understood these points and looked forward to the lectures and the subsequent group
activities.
(2) Lecture: Energy Management Guide
Dr. Chee Ming Lim, Dean of the Faculty of Science at UBD (Universiti Brunei
Darussalam) gave an explanatio n of the Energy Management Guide (Final Draft) contents
using slide materials. This consisted of the reorganization of the 11 steps of the ASEAN
EM Handbook Key Step Approach into 8 steps and selecting other described parts tomake a compact edition. This made the aims of energy conservation cost effective andstipulated the Key Step Approach-centered concept as a “Systematic improvement bybasic steps of Energy Conservation activities applied under a sound management
system.” After this clear explanation, the dean called on the participants in the venue to“Let us share experiences”, and encouraged the BIBD (Bank Islam Brunei Darussalam),Standard Chartered Bank, UBD and other participants to each comment on theirexperiences in various energy conservation promotions. In connection with this, Mr.
Ogura gave the comment that “Depending on the situation, raising the air-conditioning
temperature by one degree may achieve a 7-13% saving in the energy consumption
amount.” There were also other lively questions and answers and comments, but the main
points can be summarized as follows.
Q: Who will become the Energy Managers? And how will they secure the required
abilities?
A: Because these roles are clearly stipulated in the Key Step Approach, appropriate
persons should be selected in this organization.
III-52

(There was a comment from Mr. Ahmad, head of the Prime Minister’s Office that
“We are currently investigating about a Training Course for educating Energy
Managers.”)
Q: Is this the first time this explanation has been given in a public place? Further, what
do you think about publishing this information?
A: This is the first time. Concerning the publication, there are also copyright problems,but I am personally considering an open source format.
Conversely, when Mr. Lim Cheng Guan of the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) asked
us “What do you think about reducing the 11 steps to 8 steps?” we responded that
“The step divisions are not always precise. If the number of steps is reduced, it will benecessary to adequately specify each of these steps. The larger the number of steps,
the more self-explanatory the contents will become, but the system will be more
complex. The essential point is which system the user finds easier to understand anduse.”(3) Lecture: Energy Audit Guide for Building
An explanation using slide materials titled “A Basic Guide to Building Audit Guide:
Overview” was given by Professor Hj Ady Syamin bin Hj Md Taib of the Faculty ofEngineering (Civil Engineering Program) of the ITB (Institut Teknologi Brunei). The
contents included the fact that the Energy Audit is classified into Walkthrough Audits andDetailed Audits, the fact that this corresponded to Step 2 “Understanding the issue” in the
Energy Management Guide, and the fact that it is implemented in each stage from Stage
1-4. The other side expressed the intention to ask ECCJ to review these contents, andsomehow we were able view the contents (as electronic data). Relating to this, there werealso many questions. In particular, there were comments in the case of buildings
regarding whether experienced Facility Managers would be appropriate as the persons
qualified to be Auditors.
(4) Lecture: Key Guidelines for Energy Conservation using the EM Handbook
An explanation was given by Mr. Ogura using slide materials. (Note that the explanation
by ACE about IHDB and TD that was supposed to take place before this was omitted due
to time restrictions.)
Regarding this explanation too, there was a lively exchange of questions and answers.
(5) Introduction to Institutions Planning to Introduce the EM Guide and ASEAN Awards
System Outstanding Case Studies (Total 2 case studies)
As the subjects for the group activities, it was originally planned to select two companies
from the companies planning to introduce the EM Guide. The candidates were the threecompanies and organizations (Ministry of Defense, UBD, and IBD) that were to bevisited the following day, and it had been planned to select two of the companies andhave the m present their energy conservation activities on this day. However, when it
became clear that only UBD was prepared to give a presentation on this day, it wasnecessary to select the remaining company case study as the Grand Mercure Hotel(Thailand) that had been an outstanding case study in the ASEAN Awards System.
Although UBD gave their presentation using slide materials, the Grand Mercure Hotelexplanation was given by distributing paper copies and reading them.
(6) Workshop (Group Activities)
Although the original objectives and issues of the group activities were to experiencegroup work to “Evaluate the energy conservation activities and propose improvement
plans for the future (as a consultant) based on the above explanations,” due to a requestfrom the Brunei side (UBD and PMO), “Evaluate and comment on the Energy
Management Guide” was added. The explanations and division into groups were also
carried out on the Brunei side (by Dr. Lim). This was also revolutionary.
III-53

The number of participants on this day was 38, so the same four groups as on theprevious day were used, and the topics were set as follows.
Group No.1, No.3: Grand Mercure HotelNo.2, No.4: UBD
Although the schedule on this day of reading the materials for approximately 30 minutes
and carrying out group discussions for an hour and a half was slightly longer than usual,the number of issues had also increased with the Brunei side’s request for comments
regarding the Energy Management Guide, and the format required the participants tomake efforts.
During the group discussions, Dr. Lim adopted the appropriate development ofcirculating between the groups as required to offer suitable guidance.
The group activity result presentations were of a higher level than the contents on theprevious day. All of the presenters appeared to be used to giving presentations (andproficient in presenting in English). Depending on the group, the various methods usedwere different, so that one group created and used PowerPoint slide materials. Anothergroup gave a detailed comparison of the methodology for each of the steps in the ASEAN
EM Handbook and the Brunei Energy Management Guide. Further, another groupprovided contents that gave a strong feeling of responsibility as a consultant (bypresenting results considering the value).
Regarding the presentation contents, this organization gave comments. As we explainedat the start, the training in Brunei Darussalam this time is above all about the point that
“Using the Energy Management Guide which has been developed in your own country
and with guidance in the group activity training by leaders from your own country,
favorable results (presentation contents) have been achieved,” and it has been an
outstanding event which has not been seen in the other ASEAN countries. Our comment
consisted of this type of message, praising the participants’ activities.
Further, Dr. Lim said that “Although we are planning to publish the Brunei EM Guidesoon, we still welcome your comments (as far as time allows). Please send me yourcomments by E-mail.”(7) Awarding of Certificates of Completion
Following this, Mr. Ahmad, head of the Brunei PMO, Mr. Ogura, and Mr. Zamora of
ACE took to the platform and awarded certificates of completion to the participants forthe two days training.
(8) Greetings, and Closing Words
Finally, Mr. Ahmad, head of the Brunei PMO, gave closing remarks in which he thanked
ECCJ and ACE for their cooperation and expressed his intention to continue to promoteenergy conservation activities in Brunei in the future. Mr. Zamora then gave closing
remarks to bring the two days of substantial training to an end.

this time.
III-54

(1) First, we expressed our thanks for the meticulous preparations including the priormeetings, which allowed the Intensive Seminar-Workshop, Training, and the visits tothe three companies and organizations to be successfully completed according to plan.
(2) Above everything, we offered our warmest thanks and respects regarding the fact that
the Training Course on the second day using the Energy Management Guide that was
created in Brunei Darussalam, which was explained by Dr. Lim who is from Universiti
Brunei Darussalam and who also carried out the training could be successfullycompleted. This was the first case of its type in any ASEAN country, which was not
only revolutionary, but also deserves high evaluation as anticipating the Phase 3 stage
that we are aiming for.
(3) Concerning the Basic Guide for Building Energy Audit, we promised to offer
comments if the Brunei side sends us the draft version when it has been completed.
They said they would certainly send it.
(4) Although we realized that the investigations would probably be difficult for submitting
applications to the ASEAN Awards by the three companies and organizations visited on
the 18th , we requested that assistance be given if at all possible particularly in the caseof UBD, which is the university of Dr. Lim who investigated the Energy Management
Guide (EMG), to realize the submission as a model case.
(5) Including the other case studies, because the number of submissions from Brunei
Darussalam has been few up till now, especially for EM cases in the buildings sector,
we requested that they encourage more submissions.
(6) Working towards the popularization of the EMG, we requested that they promote thepreparation of Training Courses and Seminars. They said they are intending to publish
the EMG in the near future, and following this they have plans to hold seminars topopularize it.
(7) However, because the Energy Manager system, which is mentioned in the EMG, still
has not been clearly defined and the required qualifications are not clear, we advisedthat they should proceed with investigations into energy conservation, in which thesepoints should be stipulated.
(8) Although an energy conservation Master Plan and 10-year Plan including energy
analyses and labeling should be defined, because Brunei is a rich country it may not be
possible to have the investigations carried out by JICA, and it may be necessary toprovide the investment independently and request cooperation from Japan or anothercountry. We believe Brunei Darussalam should carry out these types of investigations.
(9) Regarding Japanese energy conservation technology and facilities, because the latest
information is contained in the JASE-World CD, we provided this for reference.
5. Other(1) Results of the Questionnaire for Participants: Responses were obtained from 22 persons.
Although 15 persons described the Intensive Seminar-Workshop and Training as good,
the remaining responses were blank so that their impressions are not known. Some
responses said that they wished to have the ASEAN EMHB (Energy Management
Handbook).
(2) There was an article in the local newspapers on November 17 concerning the Intensive
Seminar-Workshop held on the 16th. (Refer to separate sheet.)(3) On November 19 an E- mail was received that an official telegram had been received by
the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry via the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
concerning the local project held this time(4) A copy of the “Energy matters” pamphlet issued by the Prime Minister’s Office in May
2009 was received that was distributed on the first day. In the preface, the Energy
Minister concludes by stating that “Energy conservation is a Global Issue”, andemphasized “Energy Day 2009”.

6. Organization Outline and Past Developments
The Sultan of Brunei is enthusiastic about energy conservation, and in recent year-opening speeches,
he has apparently “sometimes talked about energy conservation before explaining about oil and gas
resources” (according to information from the Japanese Embassy in Brunei Darussalam), andtherefore has instructed the government and municipal offices to implement EE&C activities.
Against the above background, in addition to having three participants in the training this time from
the Ministry of Defense, a visit to the Ministry was also realized.
However, because the visit destination is to start tackling energy conservation from now, and is still
standing at the start line, the basic information including the Ministry’s power usage amounts, main
usage destinations, equipment specifications, and the building floor area had not been collected.
In addition, although the presentation materials that had been compiled by one of the participants inthe training this time had been well put together, because these materials were being seen for the
first time by the related persons, it appeared that a consensus had not been reached.
Accordingly, the general type of visit method (Inspection of facilities and equipment, and stating of
opinions) was changed to a method that mainly consisted of responding to consultations concerning
the promotion of EE&C activities, and inspection was made of a major facility (chiller equipment)
as an example of an energy conservation audit.
7. Outline of the Ministry of Defense of Brunei Darussalam
The Ministry of Defense of Brunei Darussalam is headquartered in Bolkiah, and has branches infour other locations. In 2008, the electricity usage amount was approximately 5.5GWh throughout
the entire Ministry of Defense. However, this figure is the total value of the normal electricity
meters and does not include the prepaid meter electricity amount (Note: In Brunei Darussalam,
there is a system such as in Japan where the electric power company sends an invoice for electric
power that has been used, and a [Prepaid] system in which the electric power charge is paid in
advance. Although the Prepaid system offers comparatively cheap unit costs, if the amount paid
becomes used up there will be a danger that the power will not be supplied.) In the Ministry of
Defense, in addition to the 405 normal electric power meters there are 2,689 prepaid meters.
The Ministry of Defense is to tackle energy conservation going forward, and there have not yet been
any public declarations by the top management. However, they are expressing a strong interest, andone intention expressed was a wish to implement energy conservation of 10% by the end of the

III-58

fiscal year.
Up till now, the Ministry has proceeded with the introduction of the prepaid system, the change
from free electricity to part subsidization, energy conservation education, and facility renewal. In
the future it plans to establish an EE&C Committee, measure and record the used electric power
amount to understand the current data, carry out energy conservation education, introduce energy
conservation equipment, and introduce energy conservation technology. In addition, it wishes tointroduce solar power generation as an alternative energy, and will strive to understand thebenchmarks for each building.
However, the current situation is that there is no post responsible for measuring and managing theenergy including the electric power usage amount.
The main Ministry building visited this time is a new building built in 2007, and the Facilities
Manager responsible for the facilities management is from an outside company.
8. Details of Cooperations(1) Explanation from this Organization
We expressed thanks for being able to visit at this opportunity where energy conservation is about tobe tackled.
In this training project, Brunei Darussalam is continuing to implement advanced activities, such as
becoming the first ASEAN country to carry out training using their original EM Guide. In addition,although it is still a draft version, Brunei Darussalam is also producing a guide for building energy
audits. Accordingly, we proposed that the Ministry should utilize these tools and should proceedwith the cooperation of the FP.
(2) Response of Visited Organization
The enthusiasm of the Ministry was felt due to the participation in the training by three of theiremployees, the preparation of the presentation materials for the visit, and the nine people who were
waiting on us. Further, they were implementing actual measures, such as allowing sunlight in to themeeting room and switching off the lighting.
The following is the Ministry information from the Facility Manager who is knowledgeable about
facilities of the Ministry.
1) The Ministry consists of a central building and surrounding buildings.
2) The energy used is electric power, and most of the power is consumed by the air-conditioning.
3) The central building has four chiller units, out of which two units normally operate 24 hours.
One unit is a spare, and management is carried out using BAS.
4) The surrounding buildings have their own air-conditioning facilities, and a Variable
Refrigeration Volume System is employed that can control this area (the room).
5) The room temperature in the central building is set to 23℃, and it is possible to stop the
air-conditioning in each area.
6) As the lighting equipment, T5 fluorescent lights and bulb-type fluorescent lights are being
introduced.
9. Impressions of Site
From our impressions on inspecting the central building, we proposed the following.
1) Because the raising of the room temperature settings by only one degree will have a large
energy conservation effect, the setting temperatures should be reviewed. Regarding this
proposal, the Facility Manager expressed the opinion that there would be a minus effect since
the paint and wallpaper would come off if the air-conditioning was stopped and the temperatureand humidity rises.)
2) The windows should have film or coatings applied.

6. Outline of Organization and Past Developments
The University of Brunei Darussalam (UBD) is located around 30 minutes by car from the hotel,
and has a huge area of approximately 300 hectares (only about 25% of which is being used). It is
first university of Brunei Darussalam. The teaching staff and students together total approximately
3,100 persons, and there are seven faculties and affiliated research institutes (for more details see
the separate PowerPoint slide materials “Welcome to UBD”). At one time there were 1,000 students
per school year, but this is becoming slightly lower. Going forward, graduate school courses will be
newly established, and in the future they would like to have the same number of students enrolled asin the faculties. Accordingly, they are currently constructing buildings, and one of these is theEnergy Research Center building that will be completed in 2012. This is where energy-related R&D
is to be carried out, and it has an energy conservation design, which is planned to qualify as a Class
1 Green Building (This is a UK standard in which buildings are certified as Class 1 or Class 2
according to whether they satisfy various conditions such as utilizing natural sunlight.)
On the other hand, the same university began its activities in 1985, and among the facilities there
are some old facilities, and ma ny have designs that do not consider energy conservation.
Accordingly, the energy (electricity) consumption amount is large. In addition, this energy data does
not employ a system that allows it to be fully understood.
Under these conditions, the Dean of the Department of Science, Dr. Lim cooperated with the PMO,
explaining the importance of energy conservation, and intends to promote energy conservation
going forward. (In addition, the dean believes that energy conservation education is very importantand is developing a curriculum for this.) The visit to the university took place this time as part ofthese series of activities. (Although normally the purpose of the visit is to introduce the EM
Handbook, in the case of this university, because they have already finished creating their original
Energy Management Guide, the visit took on the character of education for the people in charge ofthe facilities inside the university together with a Walkthrough Energy Audit.)
7. Energy Use Facilities and Energy Conservation Activities Overview
As described in the separate “UBD Space Statistics”, buildings that have various purposes such asteaching, dormitories, and administration are scattered throughout the university, and each has alarge floor area.
The type of energy used is only electricity, and the largest usage destination is the air conditioning.

III-60(Others include lighting, elevators, ventilation fans, office equipment, and the showers in thedormitories.)
In the air conditioning, the main part consists of a system that uses a group of chillers to power anumber of adjacent buildings. (Afterwards, we inspected two of these locations.)
The electricity usage amounts are determined for each building, and the overall total isapproximately 24 million kWh/ year. The figures do not change greatly for each month.
{Here for reference an approximate comparison is given between UBD and a Japanese university
concerning the energy usage amounts according to the building area and according to the numberof persons (students + faculty staff. )UBD
Japanese University
Usage amount per floor area, MJ/m2 /year
1,650
1,400
Usage amount per number of persons, kl-FOE./person/year
2.0
0.7
These differences in figures are probably because Brunei Darussalam is located in the tropics andnormally requires air conditioning, and also because the building areas are large.}
Further, the changes in data of electricity usage amount by time of day indicated that the figures foreach building had absolutely no uniform changes, which seemed questionable and made us wonder
what kind of usage methods were taking place. When we asked for confirmation, they said that themeters were broken, or that there may be a problem in the methods of reading the data. This ishighly unlikely, and this way of using energy is quite strange, so we advised them to carry out
investigations to determine the correct data.
Further, in the dormitories there are three buildings each for men and women (each 10-story
buildings) that have electric boilers installed for supplying hot water. (We did think that these could
be replaced with a Heat Pump system, but when we inspected them later we found that the electricboilers were still new.)
For security reasons, in many parts the lighting is always on, even at night, and not many T-5 lamps
were being used.
Although energy conservation activities had not previously been systematically applied very much,the university explained that from now it would undertake the role of a model case in Brunei
Darussalam through earnest promotion. According to the Energy Management Guide, the policies
and organization have already been determined, so that going forward they said they would firststrive to correctly understand the current situation through collecting data, and then proceed byanalyzing this data and developing improvement measures. This organization advised them to lookback at past data to try to identify trends, to use a method of starting off on a relatively limited scaleby selecting a building on the campus as a model for planning and implementing energy
conservation, and that there are good references to be found in the outstanding case studies in the
ASEAN Energy Conservation Awards System case studies.
8. Impressions of Site and Comments(1) Chiller Yards
In the Chiller Yards located around 15 minutes walk away from the meeting room, airconditioning for several buildings is being carried out using a system made up of 5 chiller units
and 5 cooling towers. At the time when we inspected them, three of the chillers were operating.
The inlet temperatures were 49°F and outlet temperatures were 45°F, so that the temperature
difference was small. In addition, the cooling towers were established in 1994 and were showing
many signs of aging, so that it was apparent that there were problems in their performance.
Looking at the panel in the Electric Room, the power factor was around 90%.
(2) Chancellor HallThis hall has a large hall on the first floor and in the basement, and it is additionally provided
with meeting rooms as a multi-purpose building. (The total area is 6,454m2 )III-61

The huge hall has its lights and air-conditioning switched on even when no one is using it, and it
appeared that the temperature setting in the room we used could not be freely changed
individually. Although this clearly goes against energy conservation, a considerable amount ofmoney would be required to improve this facility.
There were three chillers attached to this building, and out of these, one unit is always operating,while two units operate occasionally. The water pumps were previously provided one for each
unit, but in recent years they have been improved to use a common header. Above the chillers,coolers are installed for air-cooling. The chiller inlet-outlet temperature difference was around
4℃.
We inspected the room known as the BAS Room which manages this equipment. It was explainedthat in the future this would carry out management and would be connected to the neighboringbuildings(3) Electric Boilers
We inspected the electric boilers installed on the first floor of one of the women’s dormitories.
Their capacities were 6kW, and in addition to this 7-story building, a total of 60 units are installedin buildings including the men’s dormitories.
(4) Comments from the inspection: After we returned to the meeting room in Chancellor Hall, wegave the following advice.
1) The temperature difference of the chiller inlets and outlets in the Chiller Yards is small. The
water flow rate should be able to be narrowed.
2) The current system of the air-conditioning in Chancellor Hall is wasteful, since cold air is
exhausted to the outside. When the number of persons in the building are few, there will belittle proble m from the accumulation of CO2 , so maybe you could switch to use an exhaust fan.
In this situation, it would be appropriate to provide a heater in the exhaust air.
3) Because the electric boilers in the dormitories are new, it is still too soon to replace them. Since
the hot water piping is not insulated the efficiency will be improved by insulating them.
9. OtherIn response to the questions from this organization, the university side gave an explanation of their
future plans (including BAS). Mr. Ogura suggested that they should collect the actual results of
their energy conservation activities for submitting an application to the ASEAN Energy
Conservation Awards System in the future, and it would be important for them to properly record
the current situation (Baseline) data for this purpose.
Further, although this is a different item, they stated that there was a national policy to revise theexisting Building Codes so that energy conservation facilities should be installed as a condition in
new buildings.

6. Outline of Company and Past Developments
BIBD was the first regional bank to be established in Brunei Darussalam, and it engages in EE&C
activities as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). As part of this, Ms. Mardziah of
BIBD participated in the training, providing the connection for the company visit.
7. Outline of BIBD
BIBD was the first regional bank to be established in Brunei Darussalam, and it has 14 branches.
The head office has been at the same site since 1993, and is an 11-story building with a floor area of
10,884m2 . The total number of employees is 600 persons. It is tackling energy conservation
activities as part of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). As actual activities, below the supportof the CSR Team, the Property Department and Technology Department have established EE&C
Management Teams. Further, as part of their CSR activities, they supported the Energy Fair held by
the Energy Ministry in May this year and The Badas 50,000 Trees Project.
Monthly electric power usage amount of head office building is 140MWh (as a cost, this is 7,000
B$ or approximately ¥530,000), and fuel gas is not being used.
The energy conservation activities implemented up till now have included renewing 70% of thelighting with bulb-type fluorescent lights, delaying the operation startup of the air conditioners by
30 minutes from 06:00 hrs, raising the room setting temperature by 1℃, and conducting trials ofcentral processing for printing in several departments. Further, the issues are the aging of the
air-conditioners, unnecessary lighting during the daytime, and the fact that there are no meters formeasuring the electricity usage amounts.
In the future, they intend to expand their energy conservation measures to all their branches in ashort period, expand the central processing for printing, renew more lights with bulb-type
fluorescent lights, and in the long term to introduce water-cooled chillers and introduce T5 lighting.
Through the above activities, they plan to achieve energy conservation of 10-15%.
8. Details of Cooperations(1) Explanations from this Organization
The intention of top management to tackle the implementation of EE&C is clear, and based on theenergy conservation activities that they are actually carrying out, we proposed that they cooperatewith HSBC (located close by) who have submitted an application for the ASEAN Award System
to promote further EE&C activities, and we also requested support from the FP.
In addition, regarding the report of Ms. Mardziah that “It was me who set the room setting

III-63

temperature to 22℃, and I changed it today”, we added our support by saying “We approve of
your eagerness, and we hope very much that you will be able to continue (as long as no-one
expresses dissatisfaction).”(2) Response of the Visited Company
As well as preparing a magnificent presentation, we were welcomed by 12 persons. Further, thecompany also considered the inspection route and made preparations. We believe this shows theintention of the top management to implement EE&C.
9. Impressions of Site
Following the route planned by BIBD, we inspected the basement Electric Room, the emergency
generators, the air-conditioning external units on the roof (52 building multi- units manufactured by
Daikin), and the Data Center and offices on the 7th floor. As the result of the inspection, we
proposed the following.
1) The Electric Room is being managed appropriately, and the facilities equipment also has apower factor of 0.94, showing that it is being appropriately managed. However, it is thoughtthat the lighting in the adjacent car park is too bright, and we proposed that the lights should be
reduced.
2) The external air-conditioning unit coolant is using R22, which will not be manufactured after2020. Because the company is aware of the air-conditioner aging, we recommended thatinvestigations should be carried out at the earliest opportunity. Note that because almost 20
years have passed since the equipment installation, energy conservation can be expected fromtheir replacement (due to improvements in air-conditioner efficiency).
3) The room temperatures in the Data Center and Uninterruptible Power Supply Room were 21℃
and 17℃. Both of these temperatures are too low compared to the required temperature.
4) The Elevator Hall setting temperature was 16℃, which was so low that we felt cold.
5) The emergency lighting uses the previous types of fluorescent lights. There are now LED-type
emergency lights.
6) Although the offices were carrying out switching the lights off (only for the day we visited?),
we proposed that this should be continued as long as people express no dissatisfaction.
7) Understanding of the current situation is vital for promoting energy conservation. From thispoint of view, we proposed that the power consumption should be measured for each facility
and piece of equipment. (Currently, they only have an understanding from one piece of data for
the who le building that is based on the electricity costs taken from the invoices.)8) We proposed implementing energy conservation following the EM Guide, and in addition torequesting support from the FP, we expressed hope that they would expand their activities to all
their branches.

III-2-6. The Fifth Research Forum in Japa n(Overview)
The fifth Research Forum was held on 8-10, December 2009 in Tokyo and other locations with theparticipation of 11 researchers, including the Board of Judges (BOJ) of the ASEAN Award System ofBest Practice in Energy Management for Industries and Buildings of 10 member nations of ASEAN.
This project is called the PROMEEC (Promotion of Energy Efficiency and Conservation) project in
ASEAN. This Research Forum is a part of this Energy Management project. With goals and programs
described below, this Research Forum successfully ended with the following achievements:
A. Suggestions and ideas for the improvement of the Step-2 of the ASEAN Energy Management
System before launching the PROMEEC Phase-3
Step-1 System of the ASEAN Energy Management System has been established, operated andcompleted by the end of fiscal year 2009 as planned. In this Research Forum, opinions were
exchanged what functions and programs should be improved or added, such as the One-Stop to
System and Advisory Services, in the course of establishment and operation of the Step-2 System
based on the experiences gained through the development and operation of the Step-1 System. As aresult, although the functions in the Step-1 System and a plan for the Step-2 System currently
under consideration were regarded as sufficient, there were suggestions and opinions to further
improve the system. (Those which were regarded as necessary have been reflected in the plan for
Step-2 System).
B. Improvement and review of the operation policy and evaluation guidelines for the ASEAN Award
System of Best Practice in Energy Management
Based on the opinions of BOJs, analysis of case studies and award-winning applications in Japan,
as well as the reports on the promotion of the award system and its implementation by eachcountry during the third round of the award in June 2009 as suggested in the fourth Research
Forum, we discussed how to operate this award system or evaluation guidelines in a more effective
way. In response to a comment that the level of applications in the third round was lower than
before, addition of the following new categories were discussed and determined for collecting anddisseminating better practices of energy management.
(1) Improvement for expanding opportunities for small & medium enterprises (revising current
system)Classify the applications into two (large or small & medium companies) depending on theenergy consumption. Different standards apply for the industries section (classified aslarge-sized company when consuming 10 Million MJ/Y or more) and buildings section(classified as large-sized company when consuming 2,000 MWh/Y or more). Others areclassified as small & medium-sized company. Actual operation will begin in fiscal year 2010.
In accordance with this, Rules and Guideline for the application were reviewed.
(2) Add a new category for single improvement named as “Special Submission”
This had been suggested by ECCJ. Evaluation method is simplified by just giving two optionsof Yes or No. Application guideline for industries and buildings were discussed and adopted.
(3) Based on the discussion to review evaluation standards for industries and buildings, each andevery sentence of the standards were reconsidered and the result was summarized by ACE. It
will be checked and applied starting in fiscal year 2010.

(Contents and Results)
1. Positioning and Objectives of this Research Forum
This Research Forum is a part of PROMEEC (Energy Management) project launched in 2004. With agoal to complete and operate the Step-1 System (consisting of basic functions and programs) of theASEAN Energy Management System by fiscal year 2008, programs, information system and energy
management tools have been prepared and have been operated as planned. As one of the mostimportant programs, operation of the ASEAN Award System of Best Practice in Energy Management(hereinafter “EM Award System”) began in fiscal year 2006 and the third round of the award ended inJuly 2009. This Research Forum is to do researches and discuss improvement of current systems
and develop guidelines for the future by experts from Japan and ASEAN, to make this program more
effective.
With objectives stated below, the fifth Research Forum was organized, including lectures, factory
tours and workshops.

Visits to and exchange with Kashima plant of DIC Corporation and Kashima Steel Works of
Sumitomo Metal Industries, Ltd.
(5) Opinion exchange : Opinion exchange between persons from ASEAN and Japanese experts by
sharing the understanding gained through lectures and factory tours(6) Workshop- Improving functions for the establishme nt of the Step-2 System of the ASEAN Energy
Management System- Discussion to improve operation of the EM Award System and evaluation guidelines
The purpose of factory tours to Kashima plant of DIC Corporation and Kashima Steel Works of
Sumitomo Metal Industries, Ltd. arranged by Japanese side this year are as follows: to clarify theenvironmental and energy conservation policies and related activities developed by these companies
and explain about the significance of joining in this award system and adva ntages of information
sharing. DIC Kashima plant was awarded in the fiscal 2004 Awarding of Excellent Energy
Conservation Factory & Building and in the fiscal 2006 Awarding of Successful Case of Energy
Conservation in Factory & Building, while Kashima Steel Works of Sumitomo Metal Industries, Ltd.
was awarded in the fiscal 2004 and 2007 Awarding of Successful Case of Energy Conservation in
Factory & Building. At DIC Kashima plant, there were many questions about its efforts for 100%
electricity supply through ESCO project using renewable energy combining biomass power and wind
power, subsidized by NEDO and METI, from visitors highly interested in energy conservation and theuse of renewable energy, intending to introduce the technology in their home countries. Also there
were requests for coping the presentation software used in these factory tours as a reference for theirown presentations to reduce electricity consumption. At Kashima Steel Works of Sumitomo Metal
Industries, visitors were interested in its modernized factory management, unified energy control at
the energy center, and low-heat Kalina Cycle power generation. The participants also learned about
the company’s efforts of energy conservation for the protection of global environment, which are
known to the public and boosts the morale of the employees. These factory tours were effective forachieving the purpose of this Research Forum. At the start of the workshop on the next day on
December 10, participants were requested to give feedback on the factory tours. All participants gave
favorable comments.
3. Result of the Research Forum
Through lectures, analysis and active discussions at the workshop, we have gained the following two
outputs:(1) Policy to improve functions of Step-2 System of the ASEAN Energy Management System before
launching the PROMEEC Phase-3(2) Policies to improve operation of the EM Award System and evaluation guidelines
3-1. Policy to improve functions of Step-2 System of the ASEAN Energy Management System before
launching the PROMEEC Phase-3
Mr. Yoshida, General Manager of Cooperation Planning and Management Department, confirmed thefollowing points for the improvement of the functions of Step-2(1) Step-2 is to be finalized in 2015
(2) Registration to Technical Directory (TD) totaled 160 in the industries section and 80 in thebuildings section (ACE). There was a request to merge ACE/TD and ECCJ/TD. However sometechnologies cannot be shared between Japan and ASEAN. Availability in ASEAN is important.
Purpose of establishing the JASE-World, contents of the technologies and business cooperation
WG were introduced. English version of the CD describing the technologies was distributed later.
In response to the question from members that they need prices and payback in addition to theIII-67

information of equipments themselves, we answered that part of information is given in thematerial and ACE/TD presents the payback.
(3) Advancing improvement of the Cyber Search System(4) e-Directory of Technology & Equipment Suppliers: There were requests for a method to develop amatrix for technologies and equipment by industry classification; improvement based on laws andguidelines on energy conservation of Japan; and improving convenience of access from ASEAN(5) Addition of the One-Stop to System function has been confirmed. This will facilitate provision of
information on request. We requested ACE to set up the system, distribute the Draft Display to
BOJ and FPs in advance for comment, and report the result at the Post Workshop scheduled inearly March of 2010.
(6) As for another additional function “Advisory Service”, Mr. Yoshida presented the Open Mailing
System by registered experts on a voluntary basis. In response to this there were comments suchas how to select registered experts; whether it is acceptable to ask registered experts to register
their e- mail address to connect Open Mail directly to experts for direct reply from them; who will
be responsible for or assure the contents of the answer; will registered experts be responsible forthe answer; whethe r capable organizations such as ECCJ will have to serve as a mediator to give
reliable answer; registered experts may not handle all the requests if there are many and some will
not be able to some inquiries as they answer on a voluntary basis; will ESCOs be allowed toregister; ESCOs aim for making profits, and volunteer consultants cannot handle all the inquiries.
There was a concern over the burden of ECCJ experts, expected to play a major role. So, it was
decided to start accepting registration of ASEAN experts.
(7) Also there was a discussion over further development of the training program and it was
confirmed that trainees that have received training so far will be a trainer and promote training ineach country before launching the Phase-3. Responding to a question who will be responsible forthe training cost, the following was given as recommendation: each country should bear the costof training held in each country, but for the time being the EM training of PROMEEC will be
used.
3-2. Policies to improve operation of the EM Award System and evaluation guidelines
This session was chaired by Ms. Amaraporn from Thailand, chairperson of the BOJ (EM).
Participants from Japan attended as observer.
Discussion items are as follows:(1) Additional categories for the PROMEEC EM Award System(2) Establishing “Rules & Guidelines” for the PROMEEC EM Award System
Based on the discussion materials that have been sent to the interested parties beforehand from Ms.
Amaraporn, there were opinion exchanges before this session. As for (2）, Mr. Yoshida presented a
proposal for a significant revision and the discussion was held according to the proposal.
(1) Additional categories for the PROMEEC EM Award System(1)-1 New category to promote applications from small & medium enterprises
1) In the previous Research Forum, there was a proposal to classify applications (large/small &medium companies) depending on the energy consumption in order to facilitate applications
and expand opportunities for developing nations in ASEAN. Details will be determined at
the BOJ for the third round of the award in 2009.
2) At the BOJ for the third round of the award in June 2009, there was a proposal to divide theapplications depending on annual energy consumption: 2,000 MWh/Y or more/less forelectricity, 20 Million MJ/Y or more/less for fuel.
3) At the Inception Workshop in July 2009, there was a comment from Thailand or othercountries tha as this standard figure is low, it should be raised. It was determined to solicit
opinions of other countries.

III-68

4) This year, Chairperson Ms. Amaraporn proposed to raise the standard to 6,000 MWh/Y or
21.6 Million MJ/Y.
5) Developing countries in ASEAN, including Myanmar, Lao PDR and Cambodia, use lessenergy than relatively developed countries in ASEAN, such as Thailand, Malaysia andSingapore. In addition, factories and buildings differ in terms of characteristics of energy
consumption and its volume. Although there were various opinions on the classification of
categories, it was concluded to set the standard at 2,000 MWh/Y or more/less for electricity
used in buildings and 10 Million MJ/Y or more/less of fuel for industries.
(1)-2 Award on single practice of energy conservation (new category)1) At the previous Research Forum it was determined that a new category will be added to give
award to individual practices of energy conservation, considering the past achievements ofAwarding of Successful Case of Energy Conservation in Factory & Building in Japan(ECCJ’s proposal was adopted). It will be named as “Special Submission”. BOJs giveevaluation from two options of Yes or No whether it is worth being awarded. Concrete
proposal will be summarized by ACE, which will be sent to BOJs and Focal Points forreview.
2) In addition to the comments of ECCJ, Chairperson Ms. Amaraporn and Mr. Yoshida sent
Score Sheet Special Submission (Buildings) and Score Sheet Special Submission(Industries) by e- mail with comments in red in advance.
3) Contents of these two sheets with comments in red have been accepted except for minor
corrections of wording. Evaluation will be given by Yes or No of BOJs not by giving a
numeric score.
(1)-3 Start of implementation
Application of new classification and a new category Special Submission will begin and bereleased from the fourth round of award in fiscal 2010.
(2) Establishing “Rules & Guidelines” for the PROMEEC EM Award System(2)-1 In the previous Research Forum it was confirmed that the current evaluation guideline has noproblems, and ACE was to distribute the application form to BOJs and Focal Points, including
the confirmation.
(2)-2 Chairperson Ms. Amaraporn has sent “The Guideline Manual of ASEAN Best PracticeCompetition for EM in Building and Industries ASEAN Energy Awards 2010” in advance andMr. Habitan gave comments on it. Ms. Amaraporn presented new manual revised based on thecomments of Mr. Habitan. Then, Mr. Yoshida submitted a new version with comments in red,
on which the discussion was based.
(2)-3 Discussion was held for four hours, page by page. It was decided that final version will becompiled by ACE and will be distributed by the end of 2009.
Based on the above, application materials and guidelines will be finalized early January 2010 before
official announcement of application of the fourth round of AS EAN EM Award.
As described above, the fifth Research Forum has ended successfully with lots of significant
achievement. We expect that the PROMEEC project and the ASEAN Award System of Best Practices
in Energy Management for Industries and Buildings will further develop in the future.

III-3-2. Activities to Establish and Disseminate the Energy Management Handbook
This year, we continued activities conducted in the previous year and provided training based mainlyon the finalized ASEAN Energy Management Handbook. Alteration and translation of this handbook,in consideration of the situation and needs in each country, are as follows: in Lao PDR, the Laoversion was created and distributed at seminars and visits to companies; in Brunei Darussalam,original version of the country was prepared and training and introduction were given. The training
was provided by a professor at Universiti Brunei Darussalam, which he lped forming a foundation for
the next step. Through this training many participants were able to understand the contents of thehandbook. This is one of the achievements of the activities.
1. Training on the Energy Management Handbook
As described in III-2 above, training on the Energy Management Handbook was provided in four
countries this year including Philippines, Lao PDR, Malaysia and Brunei Darussalam. In countries
that no companies that have already introduced and used the Handbook, focus of the training wasplaced on understanding the contents first and then the application to each factory and building will
be considered. Small- group activities of group works are also included.
The one-day training was on how to use the Energy Management Handbook together with the
In- house Database and Technical Directory, including detailed lectures, based on the basic programas shown below:
1) Lecture on detailed contents and important guidelines of the Energy Management Handbook2) Workshop (Group activities)a) Introduction of energy conservation initiatives by a factory planning to introduce the Handbookb) Based on a) above, implement group works to develop ideas for improvement and establishing
implementation guidelines
2. Lao PDR
Translation of the Energy Management Handbook in Lao language has shown progress from theprevious year with the cooperation of pioneer companies. On completion of the English version, it
was bound up and distributed at seminars and visits to companies. At the same time, English andLao versions of the Energy Conservation Audit Guide and Tips of Energy Conservation forindustries and buildings were completed and distributed. It was introduced that Lao PDR has
prepared a handbook effective as an energy management tool.
3. Malaysia
This was the first training in Malaysia. With participation of many people having knowledge onenergy conservation, we provided a lecture on the contents of the handbook and experiences ofgroup activities. Practice to understand the Key Step Approach was considered effective.
4. Brunei Darussalam
In Brunei Darussalam, there was an instruction by ECCJ experts for the dissemination of the Energy
Management Handbook in June 2009. Based on the achievements of this, the country created its
own Energy Management Guide based on the ASEAN Energy Management Handbook. A professor
at Universiti Brunei Darussalam, one of the participants, introduced and gave a lecture on theguideline, providing training as well. It should be mentioned that the country included in the
Phase-3 of the ASEAN PROMEEC project provided training on its own. Although there is muchroom for improvement, it is true that this case has set an example for other countries.

III-4. Summary of the Workshop at the Fifth Research Forum in Japan
1. Policy to improve functions of the Step-2 System of the ASEAN Energy Management
System
In this project, programs, information systems and energy management tools have been
prepared and operated as planned with a goal to complete and operate the Step-1 System of
the ASEAN Energy Management System by fiscal 2009. In order to make the above more
effective, experts from Japan and ASEAN meet for research and consideration forimprovement of the current status and forming future guidelines on a higher leve l. At the
Research Forum, suggestions and ideas for the improvement before launching the
PROMEEC Phase-3 of the Step 2 of the ASEAN Energy Management System werediscussed.
Current plan, contents of the established functions, program and tools, and progress ofoperation and establishment of each were confirmed at the Research Forum. Based on theconfirmation, opinion exchange and discussion focusing on the following points were madeto improve functions of the Step-2.
(1) Step-2 is to be finalized in 2015;(2) Availability of the Technical Directory (TD) in ASEAN is important. Purpose of
establishing the JASE-World, contents of the technologies and business corporation WG
were introduced. English version of the CD describing the technologies was distributed
later.
(3) Confirming current status of the Cyber Search System, encouraging registration of
implementing organizations and advancing improvement(4) e-Directory of Technology & Equipment Suppliers: there were requests for a method todevelop a matrix for technologies and equipment by industry classification(5) Addition of the One-Stop to System function has been confirmed. This will facilitate
provision of information on request. We requested ACE to set up the system and discussat the Post Workshop, but it is still under consideration.
(6) As for another additional function “Advisory Service”, there was a proposal of anddiscussion on the voluntary-basis Open Mailing System by registered experts. It was
decided to start accepting registration of ASEAN experts.
(7) Also there was a discussion over further developing of the training program. It was
confirmed that trainees that have received training so far will be a trainer and promote
training in each country before launching Phase-3. For the time being the EM trainingof PROMEEC will be utilized.
2. Policy for the improvement and review of the operation and evaluation guidelines for theAward System of Best Practice in Energy Management
Improvement of operation and evaluation guidelines of the ASEAN Award System of Best
Practice in Energy Management was discussed in the fourth Research Forum in theprevious year. Additional categories were discussed and determined for collecting anddisseminating better practices on energy management.
(1) Improvement for expanding opportunities for small & medium enterprises：Classify theapplications into two (large or small & medium companies) depending on the energy
consumption. Different standards apply for the industries section (classified aslarge-sized company when consuming 10 Million MJ/Y or more) and buildings section(classified as large-sized company when consuming 2,000 MWh/Y or more), and others
classified as small & medium company. Actual operation will begin in fiscal 2010. In
accordance with this, Rules and Guideline for the application were reviewed.
(2) Add a new category for single improvement named as “Special Submission”： This had
III-76been suggested by ECCJ. Application guideline for industries and buildings werediscussed and adopted.
(3) Based on the discussion to review evaluation standards for industries and buildings,
each and every sentence of the standards were reconsidered and the result wassummarized by ACE. It will be checked and will be applied starting in fiscal 2010.
The fifth Research Forum ended successfully with lots of significant achievement. We
expect further development of the PROMEEC project and the ASEAN Award System ofBest Practices in Energy Management for Industries and Buildings in the future.

IV. Develop and Operate Functions to be equipped with ASEAN Energy
Management System
IV-1. Overview
We have a goal to establish and operate basic functions of the ASEAN Energy
Management System by fiscal year 2009, meaning finalizing Step-1 System. Step-1
System consists of basic functions to offer information including:(1) Best practices of energy management (industries and buildings)(2) Completed energy management tools(3) Information for the Cyber Search System
In addition, following programs and tools have been established and operated togather and offer information described above. Progress of establishment of these
programs/tools is shown in Table IV-1-1.
(1) Collect and disseminate the best practices in energy management for industries
and buildings
1) Plan, establish and operate the ASEAN Award of Best Practices in Energy
Management for Industries and Buildings
2) Develop a website to introduce award-winning practices (within the websiteof the ASEAN Centre for Energy)(2) Energy management tools
1) “ASEAN Energy Management Handbook” (finalized in fiscal year 2008)
2) In- house Database and Technical Directory (being improved and established
for industries and buildings)
3) Methods to utilize these tools(3) Information for the Cyber Search System
1) Cyber Search System (under construction and being prepared for test
operation)
Currently promoting registration of implementing organizations throughFocal Point of each country
These have been finalized and is now being operated except for the Cyber Search
System, which is being prepared for test operation for verification and finalization of
the system, about one year behind the initial schedule. This delay is attributed to thefact that check points before requesting registration to the implementing
organizations for Focal Points have been pointed out, which is taking longer timethan initially expected.
Also, functions to be added to the Step-2 System and programs and tools to improve
Step-1 System are being considered.
Specifically, it was confirmed that service provision function to support energy
conservation in Step-2 System and the installation of “One Stop System” for users’convenience in the ASEAN Energy Management System should be prioritized.
A plan is under consideration to make a system to encourage specialists in ASEAN
and Japan to provide advices and answer and give support to the inquiries to theusers on a voluntary basis.
In addition, a plan is currently under study to prepare technical handbooks to
improve related tools (Thermal Energy Efficiency Improvement Handbook and theElectrical Energy Efficiency Improvement Handbook) as well as to develop an
information provision system on energy conservation technologies and energy saving
equipment, named e-Directory, in which equipment manufacturers voluntarily
register on the Internet.

IV-2. Operation of the Award System of Best Practices in Energy Management
for Industries and Buildings
Operation of the ASEAN Award System of Best Practices in Energy Management for
Industries and Buildings began in the latter half of fiscal 2006, which successfully
ended its third round in July 2009. Based on the results and analysis of theaward-winning practices, evaluation standards and application guidelines wererevised in December 2009. Then, 4th round of the award began, starting accepting
applications.
IV-2-1. Results of the Third Round of the Award
1. The 3rd Meeting of the Board of Judges (BOJ-EM) for the ASEAN Best Practices
Competition for Energy Management
On June 8 and 9, 2009, seven BOJs of the award system of the ASEAN best practicesof energy management (BOJ-EM) from ASEAN countries except for Singapore,
Philippines and Vietnam, an ECCJ observer and two persons from the ACE
secretariat, a total of 10, met in Myanmar for review of the applications in thebuildings and industries sections. The application had been sent from the Focal Pointof each nation to the ACE secretariat by early May 2009.
This was the third round of the award chosen from nine applications in the buildings
section and eight applications in the industries section from seven countries including
Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Philippines, Myanmar, Thailand andVietnam. Actually there were nine applications in the industries section but one ofthem was disqualified as it failed to meet the requirements. (15 applications, eight in
the industries section and seven in the buildings section in the previous year) Afterthe two-day review, applications from a hotel and a steel company, both fromThailand, were chosen as the best practice. Applications from the Philippines,
Cambodia, Brunei Darussalam and Indonesia were chosen in the buildings section;two (food and cement) from Indonesia and one (ceramic company of Thailand ) wereselected as runner- up. There was a tight competition in both sections. It should be
noted that applications from Brunei Darussalam and Cambodia were chosen as
runner- up, which are both involved in the PROMEEC activities. These will be given
award at the AMEM-METI scheduled late July. (AMEM: ASEAN Minister ofEnergy Meeting)Due to a lack of funding of ACE, each country was responsible for travel expense toattend the committee. Members from the Philippines and Vietnam were unable toattend the committee.
(1) List of applications
There were nine applications in the buildings section and eight in the industries
section from seven countries including Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia,

The three 2nd Runner-ups are for the buildings involved in the PROMEEC project(promotion of energy efficiency and conservation in ASEAN countries implemented
by the ECCJ), including energy conservation analysis activities.
Detailed documents of the above 17 applications are stored at the TechnicalCooperation Department, International Cooperation Division, ECCJ.
(3) Discussion after the evaluation
1) Contents of the applicatio ns
Chairman commented that the explanation method and contents are inferior to thoseIV-4

in the previous year and the application guidelines should be made more
understandable. Although applications from Thailand, Philippines and Indonesia
were not considered inferior, the guidelines need review to bridge the gap among
applications from different countries in ASEAN.
2) Establish a new section for small & medium enterprises
Large-sized enterprises consume a significant amount of energy and havesophisticated energy management technolo gies and management method. Thismeans that small & medium sized enterprises are unlikely to be awarded under thepresent scheme. This problem, which has been discussed from the last year, wasconsidered again this year. Detailed discussion will be taken place in the Research
Forum scheduled in the coming December in Tokyo. Definition of the small &medium enterprises was agreed among the evaluators as follows:
Those using electricity only: annual consumption is 2,000 MWh or lessThose using fuel only: annual consumption is 20,000 GJ or lessThose using both electricity and fuel: total of electricity and heat consumption
accounts for 100% or lower of the upper limit of consumption3) Establish a new section for special submission
Further discussion was made on the establishment of new sections to award
proposals on the techniques and technologies on the energy management. One of theapplications of this year was considered to be included in this section and regarded
as not meeting requirements. It was, however, confirmed that such applications
should be accepted as well. Details will be discussed in the Research Forum in
December as well.
4) Award system of each country
It was confirmed that implementation of this system in each ASEAN country would
further improve this award system.
2. Analysis of the winners and runner- ups
Proposals for improvement included in 17 applications in either buildings orindustries section of the third ASEAN Best Practices Competition for Energy
Management were analyzed from the following standpoints of view:(1) Project activity(2) Major improvement proposals(3) Amount of energy conservation and its economical aspect(4) Amount of investment(5) Possibility of dissemination
One application includes multiple proposals for energy conservation, resulting in asynergic and organic effect on energy conservation. Analyzing these will help finding
an effective dissemination method, while improving the application and evaluation
guidelines. The result was introduced at the Intensive Seminar-Workshop held in fivecountries as a topic of discussion for the participants. Also it was shared with theBOJs-EM when the review was considered on the evaluation guidelines at a
Research Forum in December 2009 held in Japan.
Details of the analysis are shown in Tables IV-2-1, IV-2-2 and IV-2-3 below:
This year, some companies applied to let us know the actual improvement results
after the visits by project personnel for opinion exchange and provision of support or
those cooperated in our energy analysis activities. We expect such applications willcontinue to increase in the future.

of Energy Management
Award-winning practices are introduced on the website of the ASEAN Centre forEnergy.
In addition, the best practices were used as case study at Seminar-Workshops andtraining on the Energy Management Handbooks in each country. This deepens
understanding toward energy management, including analysis of the contents.
Although the number of target people is small, this method is highly effective.
Particularly, case stud y combining the award-winning practices and others left out inthe final selection will be effective.
However, an application contains multiple improvement items, making it difficult tosort out certain single improvement item. In addition, applicants cannot describe eachone of the improvement methods fully as the number pages of the application
document is limited.
ECCJ has pointed out this problem at the Research Forum in fiscal 2007. ECCJ also
raised a proposal to create a new category to collect and award single improvement
practice or project.
This issue was discussed together with the establishment of a new category for small& medium enterprises depending on business scale, which was suggested by BOJ.
Contents of this discussion are presented in IV-2-6 below. ECCJ’s proposal was
agreed by the researchers, including BOJs from ASEAN, and will be reviewed
according to the guidelines described above.
IV-2-3. Points to be Improved and the Latest Plan
Based on the opinions of the members of the evaluation committee at the 3rd award
that successfully ended in August, analysis of the award-winning best practices inJapan and the reports on the promotion and implementation of award in each country,
discussion was made on the improvement aiming for operating this award system
more effectively, including the revision of the evaluation guidelines. As a result,quality of the applications in the 3rd award was improved. However, the followings
were decided for the purpose of promoting collection and dissemination of goodpractices.
(1) Expand opportunities for small & medium sized enterprises
According to the energy consumption standard, classify the companies into
two: those consuming a lot of energy and those consuming less energy.
Operation will begin in fiscal 2010. Standard for energy consumption will be
determined in the fiscal 2009 workshop after opinion exchange among
members via e- mail or other methods.
(2) Establish a new category to award a single improvement case
Based on the proposal of the ECCJ, a new category will be established to award asingle improvement case. Evaluation process by the members will be simplified bygiving only two options, accept or not. Evaluation guidelines have been improved
according to the discussion of a workshop held in Japan in December 2009.
Application guidelines were reviewed as well. After review, the application
guidelines were distributed to BOJs and Focal Points and at the same time put on thewebsite of ASEAN Centre for Energy.
As in the previous year, the fourth awarding is scheduled as follows:

IV-15

(1) Application deadline(Local)4th week of April 2010 (actual deadline date may vary by country)(ASEAN) May 12, 2010 (to be submitted to ACE)
(2) Select ASEAN winners
Early June 2010 (held by BOJ-EM)(3) Official announcement and the award ceremony
July 2010(AMEM - ASEAN Minister of Energy Meeting)(4) Announcement of the winners Around September 2010
IV-3. Establish a System to Utilize Existing Implementing Organizations
IV-3-1. Progress and Challenges of the System Establishment
Based on the basic specifications of the system prepared in fiscal 2006, ASEAN
Centre for Energy designed the system, including display screens on the website infiscal 2007. This year, the design was further improved.
As written in the past activity reports of ECCJ, this system aims at providing accessfor the clients in ASEAN that need services such as energy analysis or training todirectly contact the providers of such services. Specifically, this system has thefollowing functions:(1) Information database for the clients
Stores registered information, including the content, scope, basic specifications andconditions of the service the client needs, combined with the client’s corporate
outline(2) Information database for the existing implementing organizations
Stores registered information, including the content, scope, basic specifications andconditions of the service that an existing implementing organization provides,
together with the outline of the implementing organization(3) Cyber Search System
Searches and presents matching results between clients and the implementing
organizations by comparing information of the clients and the implementing
organizations. It is checked whether the conditions of the two match or almost matchor not. Also provide access to the detailed information of the counterpart.
Clients and implementing organizations, after gaining necessary information using
this system, directly contact each other to negotiate on detailed conditions before
entering into a contract. Provision of information and services for the individual
negotiations is not handled by this system.
Off- line registration and search system and display screens have been prepared, now
ready for test operation. Some Focal Points of EE&C-SSN (Energy Efficiency &Conservation Sub-sector Network) expressed concerns over the quality of
implementing organizations intending to register to use the official website of
ASEAN Centre for Energy and the services they provide and there was a discussion
on setting standards for the implementing organizations before registration. Based on
the conclusion to start registration process with 21 implementing organizations towhich ECCJ visited for a survey in 2005, Focal Point in each country is currently
advancing registration process after re-confirmation with local implementing
organizations.
On the other hand we have been developing education for the implementing
organizations that should be registered, taking opportunities of activities held locally.
(ex: discussion with ECC-HCMC/ENERTEAM in Vietnam when ECCJ visited).
Initial registration process is taking longer hours than expected, causing a delay in

IV-16

the initial plan.
Refer to Table IV-3-1 for details.
IV-3-2. Latest Plan
Although it took time to discuss and consider the problems stated above and theregistration process is time-consuming, test operation began in fiscal year 2009, witha plan to further identify and correct problems in operation. It will be operated
on- line starting in 2010. Also, we will continue developing activities to ask forregistration of the organizations and corporations, explaining this system.

IV-4. Developing Energy Management Tools
Step-1 System for energy management was almost completed during fiscal 2008 andpreparations for Step-2 began in fiscal 2009. Using various tools, including Energy
Management Handbook, In-house Database, Technical Directory for industries andbuildings and other technical handbooks in a comprehensive way, will result in themost effective energy management. Entire plan and challenges are shown in Table
IV-1-1 above. Description of each item will follow:
IV-4-1. Dissemination of the Energy Management Handbook
Present ASEAN Energy Management Handbook was prepared based on the Total
Energy Management (TEM) Handbook of Thailand. Revisions were made so that it
will be disseminated throughout the ASEAN region without undermining its merits
such as simple and to-the-point descriptions as well as its usability. Although thishandbook may not be suitable for the corporate culture in some ASEAN countries
except for Thailand because the essential part of energy conservation guidelines
consists of small- group activities conducted in Japan and basic principles of TQM(Total Quality Management)/TPM (Total Productivity Maintenance), actions todisseminate energy management handbook have deepened understanding toward
energy conservation activities in Japan. As reported in Chapter III, it should be notedthat there are many people who highly evaluate the usability of this handbook.
This ASEAN Energy Management Handbook was introduced in five companies inthree countries, Lao PDR, Vietnam and Cambodia, during the previous fiscal year.
The purpose of it is to verify and evaluate the adaptability of this handbook to thecorporate culture in each ASEAN na tion, finalize it by revising the contents asnecessary so that it can be widely used in the ASEAN region, while checking theeffectiveness of this handbook.
Based on these efforts, the final version of the ASEAN Energy Management
Handbook (English) was prepared and posted on the ECCJ website. ECCJ proposed
it should be translated in various languages used in ASEAN region. Challenges
involved in this are as follows:(1) Translation of the handbook into various languages used in ASEAN
As pointed out in the previous year, translation of this handbook is absolutely
necessary so that each and every employee can thoroughly understand thecontents and make small- group activities effective. Translation must be done bythose who fully understand the contents of the handbook, which is costly andneeds schedule arrangements. In Lao PDR, this year, two companies have agreed
to bear the translation cost. Actually this handbook was translated into Lao
language and distributed, based on the benefit principle. However, inconsideration of the fact that some countries or companies may reject carrying
the cost, ASEAN and national governments in the region should support for thetranslation. (In Vietnam, translation work has started. ECCJ and the persons incharge of translation discussed and concluded that the Vietnamese government
should be responsible for carrying the cost)(2) Giving consideration to the customs and cultures of each country
In Lao PDR, a certain company wished to introduce the handbook while in
Brunei Darussalam there was a need for training on the handbook and ECCJ
implemented training in fiscal 2009. After the training, Brunei version of thishandbook was prepared. On the other hand, in Cambodia, companies that
introduced and used the handbook were not identified. To translate andIV-19disseminate this handbook, social customs, business environment, and views of awide range of people from the management to the workforce should beconsidered. The most effective way is to translate the ASEAN Energy
Management Handbook in their own languages first, and companies that wish touse it will customize the handbook by themselves.
(3) Improvement, maintenance and revision of the contents
At present, there is a plan to introduce best practices of energy management in
ASEAN region (especially those awarded in the ASEAN Award System) in thishandbook. Because the volume of the handbook is limited, necessary
information will be included in the Appendix or just showing URLs to the bestpractices introduced on the website of the ASEAN Centre for Energy. For the
future, a system to continuously revise the handbook will be necessary.
IV-4-2 Dissemination of In-house Database and Technical Directory (Industries
and Buildings)
1. Dissemination of In-house Database (industries and buildings）
Organization of the In-house Database and basic concept of the system for the
dissemination of it will not be presented in this document as these were explained in
the fiscal year 2006 activities report.
Database for buildings has been completed and now under improvement process
through application in building projects. Database for the industries will be preparedby the type of business and those for the cement, food and textile industries havebeen completed. Through activities related to the projects of major industries,
In- house Database for the steel and ceramic engineering industries were added
afterwards.
At the Intensive Seminar-Workshop held in five countries this fiscal year and thetraining to utilize the Energy Management Handbook held in four countries, In-house
Database were introduced and a guideline for the effective use of the database indaily energy management activities was presented to help participants deepen theirunderstanding toward the database. At the same time, preparations were made to
download database from the website of the ASEAN Centre for Energy for use by thecompanies.
Effectiveness of In-house Database has been explained at the Intensive
Seminar-Workshop and trainings in each country to raise awareness of theparticipants.
While improving the system to facilitate download of In- house Database and at thesame time making the database more user- friendly and effective, further
improvement will be necessary to show method of use and guidelines when the user
accesses the database on the website. Expanding the use of In- house Database andfeedback of usage status will be important. In this regard, ACE is expected to makeefficient arrangements.
2. Dissemination of Technical Directory (industries and buildings)
The aim of creating Technical Directory is to collect and release information ontechnologies and their applications actually used in the ASEAN region and producing
beneficial effects and to establish and operate a dissemination system. Effective
technologies and applications are collected and selected in major industries orbuilding projects. Technologies that are effective for improvement achieved in the
project activities and their applications are being put together on a continuous basis.

IV-20

Technical Directory is disseminated in this project as well, using website or at the
Intensive Seminar-Workshop in each country, by introducing the contents, giving
directions on the guidelines for use, and explaining how to obtain the directory.
Collection of technologies and applications is done through the Internet search,
examination of related documents and technical reports by ACE, with thecooperation of ECCJ and Focal Points. Collected information is put together by ACE
under the guidance of ECCJ experts.
This year, applicatio ns were added both in the industries and buildings sections. At
present 149 cases are introduced in the industries section while 66 cases in thebuildings section. URL of these are as follows:(Industries)
http://www.aseanenergy.org/projects/promeec/td.php?link=td&page=industry(Buildings)
http://www.aseanenergy.org/projects/promeec/td.php?link=td&page=building
While increasing and improving the cases posted on the website, following
improvements will be necessary to make it more user- friendly.
(1) Create a summary table to present the contents and effects (Part-1)(2) Continue collecting and putting together successful applications of thetechnologies (Part- 3)(3) Investigate the technologies to check for appropriateness and effectiveness on
the assumption that they will be applied and disseminated in the ASEAN region(Ask for check of experts in ASEAN to enhance reliability)
IV-4-3 Preparing Technical Handbooks
Energy management handbooks present action guidelines for practicing andadministration of the energy management. Handbooks providing comprehensible
improvement guid elines on technologies will be of help to offer energy management
guidelines to promote integrated energy conservation activities.
At present there has been a project between Japan and Thailand and the Thermal
Energy Efficiency Improvement Handbook has been finalized. Also, the Electrical
Energy Efficiency Improvement Handbook was completed at the end of last fiscal
year. Completion of these handbooks was discussed in the Intensive
Seminar-Workshop of this year. Participants pointed out the necessity of suc hhandbooks. The handbooks should be applied to the entire ASEAN region in the
future.
IV-5. Considering Establishment of Other Information Systems
As previously pointed out, providing information on ESCO and companies offering
energy conservation technologies and equipment will be effective for companies andpersons in charge in the ASEAN region to promote energy conservation, in addition
to the use of tools and information described earlier. In this project the followings
should be prepared:(1) Directory of ESCO
(2) Directory of companies offering energy conservation technologies andequipment
Requests from persons interested received during seminars, workshops and visits tothe companies and government organizations were considered.
As for (2) above, information of Japanese companies posted on ECCJ website iscurrently available in English, but it is not friendly to the ASEAN users due toIV-21

difference in languages and other factors. Selection of keywords may improve theconvenience for the users. This year, (2) was introduced at various occasions
together with the website introducing the collection of JASE-World summarizing
major energy conservation technologies in Japan.
ECCJ and ACE are in talks to develop systematic arrangement of the index of eachcategory.
Based on the consultation results, system design specification for ASEAN will befinalized. It will be possible to register additionally companies offering energy
conservation technologies and equipment in the directory using this system.
In the 5th Research Forum, a sample list was distributed to solicit opinions of theparticipants.
The directory will be created and posted on the website based on the information
owned by the interested parties in ASEAN, including ACE, Focal Points and ECCJ.
After that, it will be managed as the e-Directory, allowing for voluntary registration,
deletion or alteration of the registration contents. Cooperation of Focal Points isnecessary to introduce and request for utilization of this information system on
ESCO and companies offering energy conservation technologies and equipment in
ASEAN.

IV-22

V. Consultation Result at the Summary Workshop
On March 3 and 4, 2010, the Summary and Post Workshop was held in Cebu, Philippines, to share
information and discuss among Focal Points of 10 countries in ASEAN. It was done by confirming
and evaluating results of three projects and consultation on the future plan. At the Summary
Workshop, participants discussed the evaluation and achievements of energy management projects
and the basic plan for fiscal year 2010 and onward. Program of the Summary and Post Workshop isshown in the Attached Materials V-1.
V-1. Summary of the Results of the Projects and Achievements for Fiscal Year 2009
As in the previous year, there were various activities of energy management. Preparation of thetools and systems made a steady progress. Award-giving for the best practices of energy
management was implemented without problems. As a result, Step-1 System of the ASEAN Energy
Management System was almost completed as in the initial plan and has started operations.
Activities to establish Step-2 System began smoothly in fiscal year 2009. Part of Step-2 System has
already started operations.
Followings are the results and achievements of the projects of this fiscal year:
1. While disseminating the programs and tools of the ASEAN Energy Management System(AEMS) through Intensive Seminar-Workshop (ISW), Training to use the Energy Management
Handbook and Visits to factories and buildings in five countries in ASEAN was implemented
while expanding the network of cooperating companies and organizations. In Brunei Darussalam,
local instructors offered training using the handbooks with the support of Japanese experts. In
Lao PDR, to disseminate energy management activities, EM Handbook translated into Lao
language was distributed to the ISW participants and presented to the companies that werevisited in Lao PDR. At a workshop in Japan suggestions were presented for further improvementof AEMS.
2. Step-1 System of ASEAN Energy Management System with basic functions and relevant
programs and tools has almost been completed
1) Award system for the collection and dissemination of the best practices of energy management
was smoothly implemented. At a workshop in Japan, following guidelines for further
improvement were developed.
- Classify the factories and buildings into two categories (large or small & medium) depending on
the energy consumption- Add a new category (Special Submission) on single improvement or project- Revise the guideline manual of the award system
2) Preparing for the operation of the Cyber Search System of existing implementing organizations
and clients. Registration of implementing organizations has been completed and currently
waiting for the registration of the clients. There was a suggestion to change the name of Cyber
Search System to “Online Energy Information System”, and it was adopted.
3) Consider and prepare for the establishment of functions and programs of the STEP-2 System
3. Expand a network of cooperators through local activities. Intensive Seminar-Workshop had about
940 participants since fiscal year 2006 while approx. 380 people attended training since fiscal
year 2007. A team of experts visited a total of about 110 companies and organizations since
fiscal year 2004, to expand the network through instruction, including the dissemination ofachievements in energy management.
4. Key points for improvement- Accept applications in the award system from all 10 countries- Speed up preparations for test operation of the Cyber Search System (renamed to Online Energy
Information System)

Fig. V-2-1: ASEAN Energy Management System Establishment Program
At the same time, network of relevant organizations, corporations and people in ASEAN, who are
the users and cooperators of this system, should be established and operated.
In the Phase-3 of the PROMEEC project, ASEAN Energy Management System should function
well and be used as an effective tool to build a foundation to implement and disseminate this system,
based on the voluntary efforts of the ASEAN.
The following actions will be implemented based on the above concept. Items 1 and 2 are for the
improvement of Step-1 System, while item 3 is for the establishment and preparation of Step-2
System.
1. Improving Functions and Programs Currently in Operation(1) A system to collect and disseminate best practices in energy management
By improving operation of the ASEAN Award System of Best Practices in Energy Management
for Industries and Building, whose policies having been fixed at a workshop in Japan, it will bepossible to collect better practices of energy management. At the same time, an environmentthat allows all 10 countries to actively apply for the award has been developed. The following
points were discussed in a workshop held in fiscal year 2009 to determine the implementation
policy:1) Review categories of awards- Classify the factories and buildings into two depending on the energy consumption
volume (large-scale or small-scale)- Add a classification for single improvement measure to the existing classification forfactories and buildings
2) Review evaluation policies and application guidelines
2. Complete and Start Operation of Functions and Programs under Establishment(1) Establish and disseminate basic tools of energy management
Continue one-day training on how to use basic tools of energy management including thefinalized Energy Management Handbook, In-house Database and Technical Directory.
V-4

(2) Speed up trial operation and verification of “Online Energy Information System” (former“Cyber Search System”) for clients and implementing organizations for the purpose of utilizing
existing implementing organizations for energy analysis and training; completion of preparationfor on-line operation
3. Newly Established and Constructed Functions and Programs(1) Develop and introduce new tools
Complementary handbooks on technical aspects will be prepared for the basic tools of energy
management listed above.
Specifically, Thermal Energy Efficiency Improvement (TEEI) Handbook and Electrical Energy
Efficiency Improvement (EEEI) Handbook, prepared with the cooperation based on the Green
Partnership Program (GPP) policy dialogue between Thailand and Japan will be translated in
English for use in ASEAN nations.
(2) Prepare information provision system on energy conservation business
To provide access to the companies offering energy conservation technologies and equipment,
develop a directory to introduce ESCOs (Energy Service Companies) and enterprises thatprovide energy conservation technologies and equipment and contact persons. Establishment of
an information system to use it as an e-Directory on the website of ASEAN Centre for Energy(ACE) will be discussed. Energy conservation technologies in Japan, summarized as
JASE-World, were introduced together with its website.
It is planned that operation will start by posting a part of information owned by ECCJ, ACE or
Focal Points. However, the basic principle is voluntary registration and maintenance ofregistered information by the companies themselves.
(3) Improvement of the ASEAN Energy Management System to enhance usability(3)-1 “One Stop Service” function
To improve accessibility to the necessary information for the users.
(3)-2 Advice function
If unable to make a judgment by using the One Stop Service or further advice by the experts isnecessary, a function will be added to give advice to the users by experts who voluntarily
registered in the system. Consultation with relevant people will be necessary to consider thescope of advice given by the registered experts on a voluntary basis.
V-3. Policies for Future Actions and Basic Plan for 2010-2011
Marking the 11th year of the PROMEEC Project, necessary actions for Phase-3 have been
confirmed for 2010 - 2011.
Phase-3 is a step ahead of Step-2, to develop voluntary activities based on the past achievements.
We shared the following three points as basic principles, confirmed based on the level reached inPhase-2 in the evaluation.
1) Human resources development
2) Establish a system necessary for human resources development and prepare programs and tools
for related activities
3) Policies of ASEAN and its member nations to support 2) above
Furthermore, complementary cooperation among ASEAN nations will be necessary.
Based on these principles, actions for the next fiscal year and onward have been determined. These
were explained and discussed at the Post Workshop, where consensus was forged.
1. Improve ASEAN Energy Management System (STEP-1 System)
1) Test operation, finalization and on-line operation of the Online Energy Information System(Cyber Search System)2) Improve categories of the award system (by BOJ)
3) Improve and disseminate tools
2. Develop the ASEAN Energy Management System (STEP-2 System)
1) Plan and develop System One-Stop/Advisory System
V-52) Prepare new technical handbooks such as Thermal Energy Efficiency Improvement (TEEI)
Handbook3) Develop a system to offer information on energy conservation technologies, equipment
suppliers and ESCOs (e-Directory)
Based on the plans above, ASEAN and Japan will develop the activities on the following:
3. Develop activities for dissemination and establishment of necessary systems in up to six countries
with the help of suggestions from each country1) Intensive Seminar-Workshop
Introduction of the ASEAN Energy Management System, relevant programs and tools
2) Training
Training to utilize energy management tools, mainly the Energy Management Handbooks(including a workshop to develop energy management basic course programs in each country)
3) Visits to factories and buildings to give advice4) Expand a network of the cooperators through activities described above
4. Workshop in Japan
1) Policy to establish the ASEAN Energy Management System (STEP-2 System)
2) Preparation to start new operation system (including improvements through analysis andevaluation of the fourth round)
Project plan suggested by ECCJ and agreed is shown in Table V-3-1.
