"Achieving top-class power load leveling" The maximum power demand 40W/m 2 Equivalent to 50% to that of a building with standard Spec. "Realizing an ecologically friendly building" OPR: Owner s Project Requirements ( A type of documents in commissioning process) Annual primary energy consumption 1,100MJ/(m 2 yr) (1,043kBTU/(m 2 yr) Equivalent to 50% of that of a building with standard Spec. The target values stated above were determined through negotiations with the client on building usage conditions.

19 Conclusion Power load leveling & Energy saving is important for an effective cost-saving and the electric grid stability. In Japan, we call it SETSUDEN. To realize a SETSUDEN building, we implemented a lifecycle energy management. We have achieved a SETSUDEN building for 10 years with the cooperation of the stakeholders. The coordinated functions and actions of the building and its employees can improve the energy performance of a building greatly. We hope our efforts in this challenge will serve as a valuable reference for you. ICEBO2014 NSRI Hideki Yuzawa c2014 yuzawa@nikken.jp Passion for sustainable cities 19
