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

在上一财年，我们根据该提案继续了该项目。我们进一步研究了日本供暖和制冷技术的数据库，包括部署速度、成本、排放、燃料消耗和效率，作为模型的主要输入。同时，对住宅的热模拟达到了更精确的水平。实现各种供暖和制冷技术的无形成本是该项目的主要任务之一。目前，该模式在日本供暖占主导地位的地区运行得很好。需要进一步的工作来增加它与冷却主导区域的兼容性。

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.
