Biogas power generation Biogas (used as fuel) is produced from the garbage generated by the department store and hotel. This system eliminates the emission of garbage from the building, and the produced biogas is used as fuel to generate electricity and supply hot water. |

Toning/dimming LED lighting
At Abeno Harukas, providing a comfortable environment while conserving energy is an important theme. Depending on the season and the time of day, abundant natural light is allowed into the building and LEDs produce a soft light (toned/dimmed). It is aimed at creating a “new comfortable area” through energy conservation.

By combining highly efficient and low environmental load equipment, a space-saving and easily maintained energy system is constructed that takes redundancy and safety into consideration. For the existing heat source that has deteriorated over the years, heat is provided if it is affordable and its use can be justified. Also, highly efficient heat pumps that recover A/C waste heat and biogas generators are installed. To reduce the consumption of valuable energy such as electricity and gas, natural energy is utilized. |

A-EMS
In automobiles, drivers check speedometers and operate the brakes. Similarly, buildings need energy meters. A-EMS is a system that visualizes energy usage and all related parties participate in its management. It is aimed at reducing the wasteful use of energy and continuing activities to reduce CO2 through dialog.
