Contributing to Energy Conservation Through Management and Use of Heat

Graduate School of Engineering

Professor Osamu Kawanami

Heat is a source of energy and a waste product in its final form. For example, at the data centers that are necessary for cloud technologies, approximately 40% of the power consumption is for the energy necessary to cool electrical components, which generate heat. With regards to heat-related problems, we are developing new technologies for heat management and utilization and research that contributes to lowering energy consumption.
