We acquired a power and service business contract with Ise Municipal General
Hospital, a public hospital in the city of Ise, Mie Prefecture after Shimizu completed construction of in October 2018. We will operate, maintain, and manage the power equipment for 15 years under the contract. To secure both energy savings in normal operation and continuity of medical services in an emergency, we installed gas-fired co-generation equipment, solar power generation equipment, a storage battery system, equipment that uses geothermal energy, and Smart BEMS for integrated management of these systems. Shimizu will optimize power management for this central regional hospital by providing one-stop services extending from equipment installation to maintenance and management. Japan`s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) has selected this power and service business as a sustainable building pacesetter project (CO2 reduction pacesetter). It is drawing interest as a model business for sustainable urban hospitals.
