From 2004 to 2006, the amount of energy consumed on the campus of the Kisarazu National College of Technology was measured. In 2006, the amount of energy consumed was 2.1 million kWh of electricity, 133,176 ㎥ of natural gas, and 50,953 ㎥ of water.When compared with the amount of energy consumed in 2004, there was a 3.09% reduction in electrical use,a 4.76% reduction in natural gas use,but there was a 2.83% increase in water usage. From these findings, it has been determined that more water conservation as well as a prevention of water leakage needs to be implemented on the campus. The total energy consumption for the campus was measured at 29,280[GJ],and the CO2 emissions were measured at 1,296[t-CO2].Both of the measurements were lower than those of 2006, with the total energy consumption being 2.87% lower and the CO2 emissions being 2.67% lower. The use of solar energy panels has helped in this reduction, with solar energy measuring at 5,000 kWh during the summer months and 3,000 kWh during the fall and winter months. This generation of solar energy makes up 2% of the total energy spent on the Kisarazu campus.
