【Comparing gas usage of last year’s and this year’s electricity/gas usage @Yotsuya Campus】

Face-to-face classes have been started this year, but in October of last year, many non-face-to-face classes were also programmed. As a result, electricity consumption at Yotsuya Campus this year increased by 4.8% over the previous year, and gas consumption increased by 15.4% over the previous year.

From December 1 to March 31, Japanese government requests electricity conservation.
