Geothermal Facility Implementation Case: Nagasu Town Elementary and Junior High School (Nagasu Town, Tamana District, Kumamoto Prefecture)

Reduction of power consumption and control of electricity costs! Efforts to raise awareness of energy conservation are being promoted.

Although air conditioning was installed in the regular classrooms of schools during the summer, there were concerns about the increase in electricity costs due to higher power consumption, as well as issues related to hygiene for students. **Issues:** - Increase in electricity costs due to higher power consumption - Measures for hygiene concerning PM2.5, yellow sand, pollen, viruses, and dust affecting students To keep the air in classrooms clean, maintain students' health, and ensure a safe school life, the 'GEO Power System' has been introduced in all regular classrooms (49 classrooms) of all elementary and junior high schools. By using this system in conjunction with air conditioning, efforts are being made to reduce power consumption and control electricity costs, and it is also expected to provide opportunities for environmental education for students. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.* Published in the newsletter "Wind of the Earth," Issue 329.
