Energy at TOYOTA ONNAING

TMMF ENERGY SOURCES
TMMF chose to resort to 2 forms of energy:
- natural gas for heating buildings and production heat chambers
- electricity for artificial lighting and other production equipment

Choices were made and measures taken in order to limit polluting emissions and using fuels with a calorific power higher than fuel oil.

AVOID USELESS CONSUMPTION
Measures taken by TMMF to use energy in a reasonable way include smart investment choices but also smart everyday gestures such as:
- Choosing insulated materials for buildings
- Installing daytime light saving devices
- Using preventive consumption calculation through a close monitoring by category (heating, venting, lighting)
- closely monitoring all possible deviation in order to swiftly implement countermeasures

EXPERIMENTAL PROJECT IN RENEWABLE ENERGIES

TMMF experimentally installed a 1020sqm photo-cell membrane, integrating it to the roof at the occasion of a logistics building extension in August 2008. This technology allows to save 2,5tons of CO2 per year. In July 2010, TMMF installed a 400sqm solar wall on one sidewall of the Press shop. The purpose of this solar wall is to pre-heat in-coming outside air under sunrays in order to reduce the energy consumed for heating the building. This should allow to save 25% one one heating unit for this building, ie 18.4 tons of CO2 per year.

Best Practice selected in 2010 by Réseau Alliances and updated in 2012 for its evolution.
