Site environmental initiatives

Sony Semiconductor Solutions Group are aimed at reducing environmental impact reduction activities such as energy conservation and other activities at relevant sites, in line with Green Management 2025 – a set of environmental mid-term targets to achieve by fiscal 2025. Furthermore, we develop the regional activities focusing on contribution to the environment in response to local needs (including the activities for environmental conservation inside the sites).



Smarter, more targeted, air conditioning

Sony Device Technology (Thailand) Co., Ltd. (SDT) handles semiconductor assembly and shipping. By remapping air flows using "partial air conditioning" and raising refrigerated water temperatures, they have been able to run clean rooms with far less energy.

Before

Powerful fans forced chilled air from the ceiling, to cool the entire room and the machinery, with waste heat being sucked through vents in the floor.


After

The new system uses natural convection, with chilled air entering at the floor level, where heat-producing machinery is. Warm air then naturally rises to the ceiling to be recycled, carrying dust particles with it away from the work surfaces.

Good for energy efficiency, and for Sony

Optimising airflows for improved efficiency

The new system has reduced CO2 emissions by about 67% compared with the previous system, from approximately 4,000 tons to approximately 1,300 tons. Newly introduced HVAC (Heating, ventilation, and air condition) units control airflow more efficiently by directing air at production machines. The new airflow strategies also shift unwanted dust to the ceiling and away from production areas.

Solar panel installation

Plan to install solar panels on the entire 4G roof.

Plans are in place to install solar panels on the entire roof of the 4G building. Construction is scheduled to commence in February 2024, with the goal of initiating operations within the same year. The total area, including operational panels, will span 46,200 square meters.
