Developing a policy analysis tool for low-carbon residential heating and cooling technology deployment in Japan

We continued the project during the last fiscal year based on the proposal. We further worked on the databases for Japan's heating and cooling technologies regarding deployment rate, costs, emission, fuel consumption, and efficiencies as the primary input to the model. At the same time, the thermal modeling of the residential houses reached a more accurate level. Achieving the intangible costs of various heating and cooling technologies is one of the main tasks in this project. Currently, the model works very well in the heating-dominant area of Japan. Further work is necessary to increase its compatibility with the cooling-dominant regions.
