・"Sequence air-conditioning" for energy saving by automatically setting the temperature step by step from the zone close to the outside of the building to the office in a part of the common area
・"Desiccant Air Conditioning" that adjusts the air environment by controlling the humidity in the air with a desiccant in a part of the dedicated part
In addition, by combining multiple types of heat source equipment and their energy sources, we have achieved optimal energy usage that matches the season and load amount, and visualized the amount of energy consumed by tenant companies to save energy. We are promoting consideration for the environment in various parts of the building.
