Proposals for energy-saving air conditioning
Commercial air conditioners account for a large percentage of a facility's power consumption.
According to "Initiatives for Energy Conservation in Summer" for fiscal year 2026, published by the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, medical facilities operate air conditioning, lighting, medical equipment, and multifunction printers for long hours, resulting in significantly higher energy consumption compared to general facilities. In particular, air conditioning and lighting account for a high 67.3% of electricity consumption, making energy-saving measures especially effective.

Four signs that it is time to replace a commercial AC
The typical lifespan of a commercial air conditioner is 10 to 15 years. If you notice any of the following symptoms, it is time to consider replacement.
Installed 10-15 years ago or more
It has reached the end of its lifespan, and replacing it with the latest model is often more energy-efficient.
Electricity costs rose sharply vs last year
A decrease in operating efficiency due to aging (wasted electricity costs) is suspected.
Frequent failures and repeated repairs
Models from over 10 years ago may not have repair parts available from the manufacturer.
Especially for models using the refrigerant gas "R22," they were completely phased out in 2020.
Heating and cooling became less effective
If cleaning does not resolve the issue, a malfunction of the compressor or other components may be the cause.
Four benefits of switching to the latest commercial AC
Replacing old commercial air conditioners with the latest models not only reduces costs, but also leads to improvements in the working environment and the corporate image.
Large cost cuts (high energy-saving effect)
The latest models have dramatically better energy efficiency.
For example, estimates show that replacing a 15-year-old model with the latest model (such as Daikin's SkyAir) can reduce annual electricity bills by approximately 48%.
Better comfort and productivity
- Superior temperature and humidity control: Creates a space that minimizes sticky humidity through dehumidifying cooling and other methods.
- Clean air: A function that suppresses the growth of internal mold keeps the airflow clean.
In addition to staff motivation, in clinics and similar settings, this also directly leads to improved customer satisfaction.
Auto optimization with AI / IoT
Sensors detect room temperature, humidity, and floor temperature, and the AI automatically predicts and controls optimal operation, achieving both greater energy savings and comfort without the need for manual adjustments.
Contributing to corporate ESG / CSR
Reducing CO₂ emissions through energy conservation leads to consideration for the global environment.
Installing environmentally friendly and energy-efficient air conditioning equipment can be externally promoted as a corporate initiative.
