Although each organization makes characteristic efforts on campus sustainability,
cross-cutting view-exchanges including assessment method are not active.
It is imperative to establish an organization in Japan such as AASHE or EAUC !!

5. GHG and CO2 reduction goal
Our goal is to reduce energy consumption and
CO2 emission by 2 percent per unit area every year.
■1% Reduction through
Facility energy efficiency renovation
■1% Reduction through
Energy conservation and behavior change
Using the environmental
tax system:
1st phase: 2008-2012
2nd phase: 2013-2015
