「By providing services together with consulting on obtaining subsidies in response to the mandatory explanations of residential energy efficiency from April 2021, shipments of primary energy calculation reports for timber homes, multifamily housing and non-residential timber properties totaled 1,315, up 21.0% year on year, and revenue was ¥101 million, up 15.8%.」

「The company continued its strategy focused on timber homes in response to the mandatory explanations of residential energy efficiency from April 2021. As consulting services increased, shipments of primary energy calculation reports for timber homes totaled 394, up 4.8% year on year, and revenue was ¥53 million, up 45.9%.」

「By adopting a strategy focused on timber homes in response to the mandatory explanations of residential energy efficiency from April 2021, shipments of primary energy calculation reports for timber homes totaled 1,615, up 56.2% year on year. Benefiting from tailwinds from government policies promoting residential energy efficiency, the business grew while generating synergies with the timber-home seismic-design business.」

「In the residential energy-efficiency calculation services business, following the mandatory explanations of residential energy efficiency from April 2021, the company issued its proprietary Energy-Efficiency Performance Report to make performance transparent and focused its sales efforts on detached houses by leveraging synergies with the SE Structural System. As a result, energy-efficiency calculations for detached houses during the cumulative third quarter totaled 1,293, up 70.8% year on year, while revenue from energy-efficiency calculation services increased substantially, up 84.1%.」

「At 株式会社MAKE HOUSE, which develops and deploys IT solutions for timber construction, the company expanded its workforce as planned to support business expansion and continued preparations to open the provisional BIM Center.」

「In response to the mandatory explanations of residential energy efficiency from April 2021, the company has made performance transparent and addressed expanding demand by issuing an Energy-Efficiency Performance Report that adds customer-oriented explanations to the results of energy-efficiency calculations.」

「In the energy-efficiency calculation services business, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism announced the BEI standard, which serves as the benchmark for displaying residential energy efficiency. The company is promoting a service that calculates the BEI, or residential primary energy consumption. It is providing the service not only for homes built using the SE Structural System but also for homes using other construction methods, while working to promote zero-energy homes.」

「In the new thermal-calculation services business, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism announced that explanations of compliance with energy-efficiency standards would become mandatory for detached houses from April 2021. Ahead of this requirement, the company surveyed actual conditions at 125 registered SE Structural System contractors, focusing on the Building Energy-efficiency Index (BEI), the standard for future detached houses, and implemented thermal-calculation measures for detached houses. As a result of these measures, thermal calculations for detached houses in the new business totaled 1,069, up 22.4% from the same quarter of the previous year.」

「Although mandatory explanations of energy-efficiency standards are still some time away, being required within 2 years after promulgation of the law, the company has taken the lead in fully launching a service that calculates residential thermal performance and primary energy consumption.」

「In preparation for the planned mandatory energy-efficiency calculations from 2020 onward, the company aims to expand its market share in response to growing market needs and through active sales activities.」
