Our Activity

Business Areas

As a specialist in net-Zero Energy Buildings (ZEB), we deliver technical consulting across the full building lifecycle. Our two core services are new-construction ZEB consulting—integrating ZEB performance into the project from the earliest planning stage—and existing-building ZEB retrofit—transforming operational buildings into high-performance, low-carbon assets.

These services are underpinned by statutory compliance work (BEI calculation, BELS certification, energy code compliance, WLC assessment), technical verification (commissioning, energy simulation), and subsidy application support. We coordinate everything from application through final reporting.

Committed to the broader ZEB movement in Japan, we publish a database of ZEB-certified buildings nationwide—aggregated and analyzed from the BELS case data released by the Japan Association for Housing Performance Evaluation and Labeling (cumulative 3,769 buildings / 51,597,000 m² as of September 2025), deliver lectures for municipalities and industry associations, and regularly contribute columns to industry publications.
