For reducing electricity consumption during the summer, employees at Panasonic Automotive Systems Czech, s.r.o. (PASCZ) planted wild vine seedlings two years ago along the factory walls and have been tending the seedlings since. In a few years, windows and walls will be covered with vines, which will protect the factory from direct sunlight and keep the room temperature from rising by the cooling effect of transpiration from leaves.
May to September 2011 (Japan)
Business units around Japan grew green curtains made of bitter gourd or morning glory. Green curtains grow beautifully during the summer and curb room temperature rises. Employees enjoyed growing the curtains, as Bitter gourds yield a harvest and morning glories are beautiful to the eye.
