2) ones equipped with a warm-water-shower function only,
3) ones which are portable and intended to be installed for caring use, or
4) ones intended to be exclusively installed on railway cars.
Energy Consumption Efficiency
Energy consumption efficiency shall be annual energy consumption (kWh/year).
Categories & Target Standard Values
In the target fiscal year and each subsequent fiscal year, for each category, the weighted average value obtained by weighting energy consumption efficiency with shipment volume shall not be above the target standard value which is a weighted average value obtained by weighting standard energy consumption efficiency with shipment volume.
Category | Standard energy consumption efficiency | ||
---|---|---|---|
