Specifically, this will include the use of sensors to measure household power consumption and power generation, display amount of consumption and generation of power or as electric charges on display terminals and a dedicated website, as well as support for other eco-friendly life such as the virtual accumulation of energy-saving effects as “eco-savings” and the provision of mechanisms for participating in, and contributing to, environmental preservation activities in accordance with the amount of carbon dioxide reductions achieved.
ユースカジノ カジマル leverage the know-how and strengths of both companies, including the network technologies of NTT West and advanced sensing and control technologies of OMRON, and by coordinating communications and control, will strive to expand services that support energy savings and encourage the use of renewable energy. |
1. Background to Establishment of the Joint Venture Company |
In recent years, global environmental issues have become increasingly serious and the importance of effort to resolve these issues has been emphasized. For companies, the charging for carbon dioxide emissions and the adoption of strengthened laws and regulations are expected, as further reductions of carbon dioxide emissions are needed. Among households and consumers, too, awareness of environmental issues continues to rise, as seen, for example, in widespread use of energy-saving appliances and ユースカジノ カジマルs.
Under these circumstances, NTT West and OMRON will establish ユースカジノ カジマル to support environmental awareness throughout society through the provision of environmental and energy-saving support services to households after offer energy visualization services to businesses. |
