As in the previous fiscal year, participants were invited from throughout the ASEAN region, and the training necessary to develop ASEAN qualified energy manager trainers and the examinations to confirm their degree of understanding were conducted.

(3) Information was shared such as the actual situation and problem points of the qualified energy manager systems from each of the ASEAN countries. The energy conservation audit plans to be implemented by the participants in their own countries after this practical training were formulated.

(4) Making best use of the experiences gained this time, energy conservation audits are to be implemented by the participants in their own countries, and it is planned to report the results and to conduct final examinations at acceptance training to be held in Japan at the end of the fiscal year. These results will be comprehensively evaluated and certification will be given as qualified energy manager trainers.
