As demand grows to reduce energy consumption during building operation, it has become standard practice to design new buildings with energy-saving specifications.

But can existing buildings be brought up to the same level of performance? The answer isn’t always yes. Buildings that lack the right “potential” may require massive renovation costs without yielding sufficient benefits.

That’s why we first focused on developing a tool to assess that potential. We believe that “visualizing” the possibilities will help many buildings be reborn with advanced energy-saving performance.

Even if you want to further improve a building’s operational efficiency, the common practice of tenants introducing their own networks and applications often stands as an obstacle. We believe a scalable, unified network plays a crucial role to visualize built environmental data, keeping the building updated with the latest technologies over time. As such we have launched a One-Stop service that covers what you need—from network construction to environmental data monitoring, analysis, and certification acquisition. You might say this is an innovation that enhances the value of buildings while achieving energy savings.

What contributes to the decarbonization in highway renewal projects? One approach is to shorten construction time and reduce CO2 emissions during the work itself. However, in road construction, there’s another major challenge: traffic congestion, which can actually increase CO2 emissions. That’s where we focused our attention.

We developed a range of technologies to reduce traffic congestion, integrated them, and applied them to highway renewal projects. Today, we continue working on roadworks across Japan without ever bringing traffic to a halt.
