Efforts to Address Global Warming

Providing products and services that help customers reduce CO2 emissions

Contributing to the global environment and corporate management through Green Integration

NTT FACILITIES is developing general engineering services that integrate the three core technologies of IT, energy, and construction to help develop an energy efficient society. To enable more customers to take advantage of our knowledge and expertise, in April 2007, we launched a Green Integration initiative aimed at providing total management solutions encompassing environmental management, environmental impact reduction, and environmental risk mitigation. Under Green Integration, we provide a wide variety of services to help companies achieve sustainability and economic efficiency, ranging from planning support for reducing greenhouse gas emissions to the provision of consultation services for environmental reporting, design of energy efficiency strategies for office buildings and data centers, deployment of large scale solar power systems and use of Japan's Green Power Certification system.

Special paint that reduces the surface temperatures of exterior walls by 10-25°C, even under a scorching summer sun

NTT Advanced Technology in December 2005 launched sales of Surf Cool, a special paint that can reduce the surface temperature of exterior walls by 10-25°C by efficiently reflecting nearinfrared rays. In fiscal 2008, Surf Cool was used on elementary school rooftops, chemical storehouse rooftops, factory exterior walls, and parking lots.

This is a photograph of a thermogram demonstrating how Surf Cool reduces the surface temperature of exterior walls by over 10°C compared with a wall not coated with the paint.Wall painted with Surf Cool
