Japan District Heating and Cooling Association
Our association, the Japan District Heating and Cooling Association, was established in 1972 as a voluntary organization with the aim of popularizing district heating and cooling in Japan. And it was certified as an incorporated association in 1993.
We have been expanding the business fields, answering the social need to realize a decarbonized and energy efficient city design.
However, the Great East Japan Earthquake and the Fukushima nuclear accident, which hit Japan in 2011, obliged us to change the urban design policy as a “package of energy plan and disaster prevention plan”.
It has passed around a half-century since our association was founded, and the role of our association has become more and more important, pursuing zero-energy society, as an organization, Bridging industry, academia, and government.
