Comperehensive Energy Solutions
Virtually zero CO2 emissions throughout the entire home
With economic growth and an increase in the number of households, CO2 emissions from the household sector will rise even further. Panasonic provides a range of products for homes, from stand-alone home appliances to houses themselves. Thus, getting our products and services together, we can develop Comprehensive Solutions for the Entire Home to help our customers reduce their CO2 emissions at home in a unique way that no other company can do.
We drive the reduction of CO2 emissions throughout the entire home through four concepts:“create energy,”“store energy,” “save energy” and “manage energy.” Saving energy by increasing energy efficiency of home appliances and insulation efficiency of house itself, we can reduce power consumption in the enitre home. For energy yet necessary even after saving, we create energy by promoting low-emissions photovoltaic power generation and fuel cells and store energy by drawing on household lithium-ion accumulator batteries. Finally, connecting all the devices and managing energy can help achieve “virtually zero CO2 emissions throughout the entire home.”
To achieve virtually zero CO2 emissions throughout the entire home, having a system for energy management is important. One way to improve the efficient use of power and connect our equipment and devices is through our home energy management system (HEMS). This system contributes to CO2 emissions reduction by controlling the equipment smartly in the house. Smart Energy Gateway (SEG) plays a key role in HEMS. In addition to energy saving equipment and energy storing equipment, SEG connects the smart meter (an electricity meter that incorporates a telecommunication function), gas meter, water meter, and domestic appliances, and enables monitoring of their energy flow and consumption on displays such as TVs. Furthermore, SEG judges the efficient use of electricity and heat, and recommends optimal use according to the daily patterns of each household. SEG enables the realization of environmental lifestyles by controlling the electricity and heat of equipment through connection to the network.
Expanding Energy Systems Business
To further broaden the scope of our concept of virtually zero CO2 emissions throughout the entire home and enhance our industry position in photovoltaic power generation and fuel cell business to expand our Energy Systems business, we are going to promote Comprehensive Solutions for the Entire Town worldwide. In Japan, utilizing our comprehensive energy solutions, we are running a project in our former factory site in Fujisawa City to create Fujisawa Sustainable Smart Town. Outside Japan, we have participated in the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-city Project planned by the Chinese and Singaporean governments with Hitachi, Ltd.
Aiming to expand our Energy Systems business, we achieved 550.8 billion yen in sales in fiscal 2011, and will continue to make progress toward our fiscal 2019 target of 3 trillion yen in sales.
