SPACECOOL announced that SPACECOOL was installed in the communication buildings of QTnet, which operates telecommunications business in the Kyushu region, and power consumption was reduced by up to approximately 10%.

QTnet had issues with alerts due to rising temperatures inside communication buildings in the summer and increased power consumption for air conditioning.

Previously, heat-insulating paint was used as a countermeasure, but when SPACECOOL was experimentally installed on the top and sides of some communication buildings, the temperature inside the buildings was reduced by up to 5.3 degrees, so it was installed in 16 communication buildings. The effect of reducing power consumption began to appear in September 2011, when SPACECOOL was installed.

The reduction rate of up to 10.3% was confirmed in July, when the amount of sunlight is particularly high, and the effect was significant from April to August, when temperatures rise.
