Abstract
To achieve sufficient energy conservation,management skills needs to be ell-established in a company. In terms of energy management, The Energy Conservation Law of Japan (hereafter noted as the EC Law of Japan) is the most useful tool. The law is a comprehensive system for energy efficiency and conservation in energy use, which has strongly promoted the energy conservation in Japan. The law covers four fields currently, factories & workplaces, buildings, transportation, and machinery & equipment. In each area, it has devised effective measures for the energy conservation and played important roles to promote energy efficiency and conservation. Also the law has a system for qualification for energy managers, and has a linkage to a report system on GHG emission. The outline, method, effect and related activities of The Energy Conservation Law of Japan was introduced from the point of energy management.
