Introduction of solar power boilers
 (Shanghai Ricoh Digital Equipment Co., Ltd./China)
Use of natural energy is one effective way to continue energy conservation at business sites. Shanghai Ricoh Digital Equipment Co., Ltd. (SRD) introduced a boiler using solar power into its hot water supply system for the shower room in August 2008.
This system applies a new method using not only electricity but also heat produced by solar power. Compared with traditional systems, electricity consumption can be reduced by 80%.
The introduction of the system is expected to produce cost reduction effects of about 25,000 yuan (¥350,000), which is the equivalent of 22.7 tons of CO2 emission per year.
