East Nippon Expressway Co., Ltd.
NEXCO EAST (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo), we are promoting environmentally-friendly efforts with the aim of becoming an "environmentally friendly Expressway" and "a Expressway that coexists with the roadside living environment and the natural environment."
In the future, we plan to utilize the natural energy generated by photovoltaic power generation for the new interchanges that we will construct, and actively incorporate energy-saving equipment in information boards and lighting fixtures to promote the establishment of an eco-friendly "ECO interchange". I will.
1 Specific equipment contents
(1) Solar power generation equipment Will be used for part of the daytime electricity used at the interchange.
- Photovoltaic power generation will be introduced in consideration of location conditions and weather conditions.
(2) Energy saving equipment Will be installed.
| Installation location | Equipment name | Specifications, etc. |
|---|---|---|
| Road equipment | ECO information board | Power saving information board using low power consumption LED |
| ECO sign | LED lamp used for internally illuminated signs*1 | |
| ECO road lighting | Uses a ceramic metal halide lamp*2 with high luminous efficiency | |
| ECO gate lighting | Uses a ceramic metal halide lamp*2 with high luminous efficiency | |
| Building equipment (Fee Station) | Interior lighting | Use LED lamp |
| Heat shield coated roof | ||
| Insulation material/insulation sash |
- Internally illuminated signs have a mechanism in which a light source is placed inside the frame of the sign and self-luminesces, so that the figures and letters drawn on the surface of the material emerge from the transmitted light. Previously, fluorescent lamps were mainly used as the light source.
- Ceramic metal halide lamps have improved lamp life by changing the material of the arc tube of metal halide lamps used for night lights in gas stations and sports facilities from quartz to ceramic with less deterioration. .. Compared to the sodium lamp currently used as road lighting, it is a white lighting that is close to natural light and consumes less power.
2 CO 2 Reduction amount
According to a trial calculation at a typical ECO interchange that installs solar power, Approximately 20% reduction in power consumption at interchanges, CO 2 Reduced by about 15t per location per year To do.
3 ECO Inter maintenance schedule
In the future, all the newly established interchanges will be maintained as ECO interchanges, and we plan to complete two locations in FY2010 and four locations in FY2011. Also, for interchanges that are in service, we will gradually introduce energy-saving equipment as the equipment is renewed.
