TopicReduction of CO2 emission by installing invertors in air conditioners in the clean room

We organized an Energy Savings Working Group that consists of members from 4 sites in Japan, and have been working
continuously to improve energy efficiency and reduction of CO2 emissions.
In FY2019, we introduced inverters in air conditioners in the clean room.
Dampers (air volume level regulation valves) used to regulate the amount of air blown out of the A/C. They were
replaced by inverters which reduced the revolution frequency of the air blowers. The operation power of the air blowers
drops by approximately 60%, which reduces the CO2 by 186t in a year.
