To Overcome Crisis

Company Philosophy• Be fair and straightforward• Do your best with all your effort• Have leadership, irrespective of education, age, or
nationality.

Company Philosophy (in Japanese)5

SHINRYO Report 2021

This Company Philosophy
clearly expresses theLife and Businessphilosophy of our founder
Chairperson Masaru
Kagami (deceased).
Shinryo Corporation wasestablished to embody
this philosophy in thebusiness world. These
three principles serve as
the “roots” of Shinryo
Corporation and are thefoundation for all thinking,decision-making andaction of executives.

The most devastating event of 2020 was the novel
coronavirus (COVID-19) which launched the world intochaos. The confusion of this pandemic continues. However,Shinryo Group strives to ensure business continuity whilst
monitoring the situation and ensuring everyone’s safety
during emergency declarations in Japan and lock downs
overseas.
The impact of COVID-19 on the world’s economy isimmeasurable, and future investments in construction will
surely be unpredictable in Japan. However, I know Shinryo
Corporation and Shinryo Group will overcome this crisis byany means and ensure even stronger crisis management
systems and the development of more ﬂexible business
continuity capabilities. Thanks to all we are learning fromthe experiences. We must also provide the social value
necessary in a generation facing COVID-19.
As one aspect of this value creation, Shinryo
Corporation is furthering proposals to ensure greater
safety inside hospitals and other medical facilities and toreform ventilation systems.
After much internal debate about ways to help preventthe spread of COVID-19 infection through air-conditioning
technology, we are now driving forward proposals forLast July, Shinryo Corporation moved its headquarters
amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The topics of debate during
this move were how to make offices even safer and ways
to transition to new work styles. These discussions led us
to distribute office space between our old headquarters
and several neighboring buildings and increase the average
personal space per employee roughly 130%. These measures
were not simply for comfort but also aimed to avoid closed
spaces, crowded spaces, and close-contact settings (ThreeCs), which will prevent the spread of COVID-19.
At the same time, we furthered the adoption of digital
tools to facilitate around-the-clock access to online videoconferences and advocated a paperless workplace notrequiring seals. Our Group also put in place policies for
employees to actively work from home to provide balance
between work and raising children or taking care offamilies. This is one of our efforts to support ﬂexible work
styles for diverse human resources. In addition to thesemeasures the satellite offices have opened to further
enhance a decentralized workplace.

Social Engagement Toward Growth
I strongly feel that to foster sustainable growth as acorporate enterprise during this pandemic, our Groupneeds to grow by not only unifying internally as a team
but also connecting with others.
The ﬁrst vital step is to make “connections” with others.
These connections with many other people stimulate us
and clearly have a beneﬁcial impact on our work. At a time
when gathering people together is difficult, we must ﬁnd
new ways to make these connections.
Therefore, our next step requires “connections” throughdigital technologies. Many companies around the world
today leverage all digital technologies in an effort tocultivate more innovative business models. These digitaltechnologies not only make work more efficient but also
facilitate connections to others using our network, whichhave the power to expand business. The use of digitaltechnologies will be essential for companies from now on.
Shinryo Corporation must also become versed in using thepower of digital connections.
As the last step, we must forge “connections” beyond
industry and business category as well. Proﬁcient
cooperation between companies with different strengths
enhances the power of corporate organizations. This
cooperation nurtures alliances and joint developmentwith other companies as well as inspires many moreideas. These synergistic connections will become more
important than ever before.
To create new value alongside evolving social issues, a
network with many of these connections is the only way toalign strengths to move toward success.

Message from the President

stable ventilation as the most effective preventative
measure ( p. 44). Today, many of our customers are
inquiring about these ventilation systems.
However, one drawback to advancements in ventilation isa decline in energy efficiency. Ventilation systems exhaust
temperature is required to adjust air temperature whenreplacing it with outdoor air. Adjusting the temperature ofmore outdoor air coming in through the ventilation system
in turn requires more energy. One technology to resolve
this problem is the variable-air-volume air-conditioning
system using the Coanda effect ( p. 31). Last year, we
adopted this new ductless air conditioning system forthe ﬁrst time in a real building to take advantage of the
Coanda effect and create a jet of air ﬂowing along theceiling that feeds air for indoor air conditioning. This
air-conditioning system responds to the needs of ourgeneration by realizing excellent ventilation efficiency thatdelivers fresh outdoor air to every corner of the building
with minimal airﬂow. As the importance of ventilation
grows, the technology of Shinryo Corporation shouldplay an even greater and more diverse role. We must also
continue to make every effort to respond to the needs ofsociety as an environmental engineering company.

To Achieve Sustainability
Shinryo Corporation has participated in the United
Nations Global Compact since 2014 and promotes
greater sustainability via the concepts of the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs). As one step toward realizing
the SDGs in ﬁscal 2020, Shinryo Corporation examined thepriority subjects (materiality) it hopes to achieve ( p. 23p. 28).
Shinryo Corporation has four priority subjects:
contributions to realize a decarbonized society,contributions to a resilient society, realization of safe andhighly efficient work processes, and building of refreshingenvironments rich with creativity. These materiality
issues have been organized by considering global
challenges from the impact of global warming and theParis Agreement through to risks of natural disasters andhuman rights, domestic challenges from a labor shortagein the construction industry to reforms of long working
hours, as well as from a perspective of cultivating an ideal
corporate climate.
The concepts of the SDGs have been incorporated in our
initiatives since 2017. We have meticulously reviewed ourpriority subjects while deepening understanding within
our organization.
I believe the four priority subjects that we have chosen
are the right issues to align the requirements of society
and the medium- to long-term Shinryo Corporation
management plans. In the future, Shinryo Group will
enhance its business acumen by integrating these
activities and management to provide social value. Shinryo
Corporation will continue to work to reﬂect the feedback
we receive from all of our stakeholders in our businessactivities in order to become a company speciﬁcallychosen by customers. I ask for your ongoing support andguidance in the future as well.

Tetsuro Kochiya

Representative Director, Executive Vice President
General Manager, International Management Division & in charge of GroupManagement & New Work Style

Representative Director, Executive Vice President
General Manager, Technical Supervision Division & in charge of Group
Health and Safety & Compliance & the Environment

Shinryo Corporation has always striven to provide friendly
environments to cities and people since its founding
and in accordance to its management vision to Create aFreshening World. Through these endeavors, we came tounderstand the fundamental harmony between the idealsof business activities at Shinryo Corporation and those of
the SDGs. This began our SDG initiatives in 2017. As an
environmental engineering company, Shinryo Corporation
advances energy-saving proposals and technologicalresearch to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We believe
one of our duties is to contribute to the realization of adecarbonized society. We also know people are valuable
resources and are working to transform the company intoa highly productive place rich with creativity by offering anenvironment where everyone can reach their full potential.
I believe this management strategy is also part of thepriority subjects of the SDGs.
At our 21 overseas business sites, we aim to engage inlocal-oriented business activities that create roots in eachcountry and local community.
We share our philosophy on the SDGs overseas too in
the hope of becoming a corporate group that is able torealize “Create a Freshening World” business activities on
a global scale.

Digital Transformation (DX) has become an active effort
in various industries today to promote a shift in businesstoward digital strategies. The construction industry is alsopart of this trend.
However, on-site efficiency is a pressing issues in theconstruction industry since the adoption of overtime
restrictions in revisions to the Labor Standards Act thatwill go into effect April 2024. Programs to implement ICT
on-site and use Building Information Modeling (BIM) not
only take into account DX promotion but also work stylereform.
Shinryo Corporation is actively expanding the use ofdigital technology to help enhance occupational safety
and of course heighten productivity and reform work
styles. The construction industry as a whole will surely see
a digital transformation (DX) as digital technologies andDX evolve. During this transformation, the constructionindustry should provide more appealing work that
contributes more greatly to society. I am conﬁdent
this trend will enhance customer satisfaction. Shinryo
Corporation will employ digital technologies, and I hoperealize its own digital transformation (DX).

United Nations Global Compact and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Shinryo Corporation refers to the concepts of the United Nations Global Compact and Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs) in its sustainability promotion activities and advances sustainability promotion management that has adopted
the ten principles in four areas (human rights, labor, the environment, and anti-corruption) of the United Nations Global
Compact as well as the concepts in the 17 SDGs targets.
These efforts demonstrate the will of Shinryo Corporation to grow as a company earning trust from the internationalsociety as it focuses its strengths into the provision of technology overseas.

Director, Managing Executive Officer
General Manager, Administrative Division & Corporate Strategy andPlanning Division & in charge of Sustainability Promotion & DX Promotion

The COVID-19 pandemic ushered in a new society shiftingfrom a focus on efficiency, which had been a prerequisite
to traditional business models and the lifestyle of people,
to social distancing and no contact with an emphasison safety and security. To foster sustainable corporate
growth, a response with a sense of speed is vital toaccommodate new demand.
In addition to this viral crisis, the risk of climate change isthe gravest issue facing the world. Modern times demand
corporate strategies with ways to combat this climatechange.
Shinryo Corporation strives to address a range ofsocial issues through its technical capabilities as anenvironmental engineering company. I believe we can use
these issues as new business opportunities for Shinryo
Corporation.
That is why I hope to focus our activities on thesechallenges. Through efforts to propose better design,
installation, and maintenance to customers, Shinryo
Corporation will reduce greenhouse gas emissions andhelp realize a decarbonized society. By building theinfrastructure and energy facilities necessary to sustaina safe, secure life in society, we will help build a resilient
society.

A generation ﬁghting COVID-19 has made clear how
companies must change and what companies must
protect. We must evolve in order to overcome thisviral crisis and foster societal growth in new ways. Thistransformation should not adhere to convention but
rather question precedent to get to the heart of the
problems. On the other hand, Shinryo Corporation mustalso protect its company philosophy, which is its founding
spirit.
Our company philosophy is the foundation of all ideas,
decisions and actions of everyone working at Shinryo
Corporation. Especially in these confusing times, we mustnever waive from the spirit of our origins.
Our company philosophy has a phrase, “Do your bestwith all your effort.” Today, the world needs a society thatis safe to live in. Shinryo Corporation has decided uponfour priority subjects to realize this society (p. 28). We
will do everything in our power to faithfully ﬁnd solutions
to these issues as stated in our company philosophy.
However, no one person can solve these problems alone. I
believe we must unify our strengths with everyone around
us to directly confront each priority subject and contributeto the development of a safe and sustainable society.

Compact in September 2014.

FY2017 Association Between CSR Activities and SDGs Targets
Shinryo Corporation examined priority subjects by referring toschemes, such as the SDGs Compass: The guide for businessaction on the SDGs, which provides corporate action guidelines
for the SDGs.
We associated the CSR efforts already in place at Shinryo
Corporation and the targets of the SDGs in ﬁscal 2017, which
was the ﬁrst step of these initiatives in the SDGs, and bundled
regions of contribution through existing initiatives to express in
a comparison table.

Impact of the company on the economy, environment and society• Analysis of the impact from a value chain perspective• Analysis of the relevance between the corporate philosophy
and medium-term management plan

We organized priority subjects according to the importanceto society and Shinryo Corporation as a graph (materiality
map).
Impact on Stakeholder Evaluation and Decision Making

In fiscal 2019, we used an evaluation sheet to analyze
priority subjects from both the impact on the evaluation anddecision making of stakeholders and the impact of Shinryo
Corporation on the economy, environment and society
according to the 169 targets and 232 indicators of the SDGs
in the effort to organize and select priority subjects.

(2) Create a materiality map

debate based on the results of impact analyses and themateriality map. A dialogue between investigative committee
members and experts incorporated highly objective ideas into
the ﬁrst materiality plan.

Shinryo Corporation held an idea exchange meeting withoutside experts again about the revised priority subjects.
These priority subjects are as follows:

5. Build enthusiastic, work-friendly environments for everyone
6. Engage in fair and transparent business activities

Dialogue on SDGs

Second Idea Exchange Meeting with
Experts to Examine the Validity andObjectivity of Priority Subjects
Following 2019, Shinryo Corporation invited Hidemi Tomita, theDirector of Lloyd’s Register Japan K.K., for another idea exchange
meeting with four directors who are Sustainability Promotion
Committee members about the priority issue selection process aswell as validity and objectivity of the priority issues. This section
introduces the insight provided by Mr. Hidemi Tomita.

Good Points of the Process for Determining
Priority Subjects
Shinryo process to decide on priority subjects takes clearly
comprehensive investigative steps. I took part in the ﬁrst
dialogue on priority subjects last year. Shinryo Corporation
went beyond simply listening to our ideas and publishing its
results in a report. This process evaluates points that havebeen thoroughly debated through various means, including
assignments asking directors to look deeper into priority
subjects independently before hosting a second exchange ofidea meeting.
I also feel referencing the SDGs and items in the mediumterm management plan when weighing priority subjects tocreate a materiality map is fantastic. Generally, discussions
about priority subjects tend to become abstract and idealistic.
On the other hand, Shinryo Corporation superbly links thedebate to its business plans.

Improvement Points of the Process for
Determining Priority Subjects
It may be beneﬁcial to not only organize priority subjects
around SDGs but also important measures of Shinryo Group.
The SDGs are macro goals aimed for by society and humanity
as a whole different from the challenges faced by corporate
organizations. This approach could leave out issues not coveredby the SDGs alone. In terms of diversity promotion for example,
the SDGs only discuss the empowerment of women. However,corporate business operations must consider broader diversity,
such as recruiting people from the countries and regions where

local subsidiaries operate to act as managers and executives.
Reorganization of priority subjects from a Shinryo business
operational perspective would enhance integration between
priority subjects and actual business plans. It is also important
to not rely too much on the SDGs.
However, companies do discover issues left out of mediumterm management plans by taking an SDG perspective. If
Shinryo Corporation ﬁnds it has missed these types of issues,
I highly encourage the company to reﬂect social perspectives
into medium-term management plans rather than vice versa.

Good Points of the Second Materiality Plan
I am very happy to see Shinryo Corporation heard myrecommendation last year and added the issues of employee
human rights and safety on construction sites to its second
materiality plan. These issues seem so obvious that thecompany most likely omitted them from their priority subjects.
However, labor conditions and human rights issues are under
extreme public scrutiny, and everyone at the construction
companies who are clients of Shinryo Corporation are highly
aware of these problems. As a construction engineering
company, it is very important for Shinryo Corporation to takethe objective standpoint of its stakeholders. If a blind eye
is turned toward on-site safety and security, there is a risk
employees may look at the challenge and feel the issue is not
relevant to them. Not all of the issues apply to every employee,
but it is vital to recognize how to organize each subject so that
employees can see what issues fall into their respective duties.

Challenges of the Second Materiality Plan

Sustainability Promotion Management

I feel the point about contributing to society through Shinryo
technology and business from a standpoint of Creating
Shared Value (CSV)* is not expressed very well. For example,
the strength in ventilation systems at Shinryo Group is surely
air-conditioning technology that can help combat infectious
diseases. This point should stand out as a major contributionof the company. Rather than simply appealing to better quality,
I would like Shinryo Corporation to incorporate how it createssocial value.
When I read the second materiality plan, I also felt it is
written very much for the construction industry. I wish it
would better express the uniqueness of Shinryo Corporation.
For example, I would recommend the nuance behind thecorporate management vision to Create a Freshening World beincorporated into this plan. Shinryo Corporation is an unlistedcompany. This means the people evaluating the Group are
its customers in the industry who can understand the coremessaging even with industry and internal company jargon.
This ﬂexibility is a strength of a private company.
However, abstract concepts can become hard to understand.
It would be better to try and write with slightly more accessible
everyday language. The organization of ideas in words that
all employees are familiar with brings a sense of affinity
and more effectively spreads this internal messaging. The
process to determine priority subjects has a certain level offormality. Deciding on the challenges is not the goal but rather
the starting point for these efforts. I recommend choosing
language from a standpoint of how to use these priority
subjects in the future.
It would also be better to avoid overemphasizing the SDGs.
Currently, each priority issue is associated with roughly ﬁve
SDGs, but this seems a little excessive. I recommend Shinryo
Corporation pinpoints the ultimate objective and steadily
connects its actions to three or four goals to show clear
progress. The number of goals is not what is important.

as the Paris Agreement and the IPPC Special Report on Global
Warming of 1.5°C. However, technical development, ongoing
innovation, and the success toward goals would be great ways
to express Shinryo approach and passion. The problem of onsite safety and security is a serious issue in the constructionindustry. Shinryo Corporation should set a target in the future
to demonstrate its precise on-site management.
In terms of work friendliness, Shinryo Corporation could
look to its future ideal form to make every employee feel goodabout working in Shinryo Group.
Another potentially effective process may be for Shinryo
Corporation to grasp the needs of its customers, suppliers,and partner companies through a direct exchange of ideas.
For example, a single company alone cannot achieve a CO2
reduction target of 80%. This goal can only be realized by ﬁrst
aggregating the many strengths of Shinryo Corporation, itscustomers, suppliers, and partner companies as well as power,
gas and other utility companies.
I know Shinryo Corporation has a variety of stakeholders
and the issues important to each differ slightly. It is vital for thecompany to have this exchange of ideas to better identify how
to pursue targets.

Timing to Revise Priority Subjects
Priority subjects are not meant to be changed frequently. I
recommend making these changes at least once every three

The Shinryo Shinjo Building reconstruction completed in June 2020
(Client: Shinryo Corporation—Kanda, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) adopted avariety of new eco-friendly technologies. Shinryo Group was in chargeof the air-conditioning, sanitation and electric systems.
The main facade stands sterically in the image of the beautifully
traditional shopping and residential street. The vaulted stairway
between the building entrance, offices and outer space provides abuffer that helps reduce the air-conditioning load. During the seasonalchange, a natural ventilation chimney made possible from upper andlower temperature differences works as a mechanism to further reduce
the air-conditioning load.
The development and introduction of two types of ductless airconditioning systems with excellent energy savings in work areas aims
to eliminate the energy net in spring and winter as well. In addition
to the energy saving beneﬁts, ductless air-conditioning reduces duct
material (resource savings) and lowers the height of each ﬂoor by
eliminating duct space usually required in the ceilings. This innovation
enabled Shinryo Shinjo Building to add one additional ﬂoor.
The building also earned the highest ﬁve star rating from the BuildingHousing Energy-efficiency Labeling System (BELS) Certiﬁcation.

Manufacturing processes for semi-conductors, liquid crystals,
and other precision products require clean rooms free of any
dust or dirt in the air. However, it has become important forthese manufacturing processes in recent years to not only
remove dust but also gaseous contaminants from the air.
Traditionally, air washers installed to an outdoor-air processing
unit act as a humidiﬁer and air puriﬁer, but needs for measuresto handle gaseous contaminants are growing in recent years.
Many cases combine air washers with chemical ﬁlters toenhance gas component removal performance.
The Electrolyzed Water Air Washer newly developed by
Shinryo Corporation uses electrolyzed water as an absorption
liquid and enhances gas-liquid contact efficiency to succeed

in highly effective acidic gas removal without employing
a chemical ﬁlter (99% removal rate of SO42-). Comparedto systems equipped with chemical ﬁlters, a system using
electrolyzed water reduces energy consumption by 24% and
CO2 emissions by 15%
to signiﬁcantly enhanceenergy savings and lowcarbonization as well
as almost eliminate theindustrial waste produced
by replacing chemical ﬁlters.

SHINRYO Report 2021

The active use of digital technologies and Building
Information Modeling (BIM) starting from the design stage
quickly responded to changing customer needs and optimized
construction of the entire air-conditioning system. Simulationsof the airﬂow and temperature distribution through the useof Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) technologies createdthe most comfortable environment in a lecture hall with a
2,000-person capacity and a high, roughly six-meter ceiling.
To provide the greatest ease of use, innovations tonegative pressure isolation rooms for patients with infectious
diseases enabled staff to check the differential pressure at a
glance through digital differential pressure gauges. Shinryo
Corporation created mock-ups of the hospital beds ahead oftime to get feedback from all of the nurses about usability.
Fabrication of piping used around approximately 1,300
fan coil units at plants for the construction achieved highinstallation quality and greater on-site labor savings. To
improve the workability and increase the system lifespan,light resin piping with excellent corrosion resistance was also
adopted for the hot and cold water piping. A stockyard ofmaterials and equipment set up off-site made material andequipment management easier. Two teams divided intofunctions to manage construction and to inspect the work
process created an organization that not only increased
operational efficiency but also enhanced the work style.

Tochigi PrefectureAbout the Kiyohara Smart Energy Center
The Kiyohara Smart Energy Center efficiently supplies
electricity and heat to seven business sites of three companies
at the Kiyohara Industrial Park (three Calbee, Inc. offices, three
Canon Inc. offices, and one Hisamitsu Pharmaceutical Co., Inc.
office). This cogeneration center realizes enormous reductionsin the environmental load unattainable by any one businesssite.
The facility is Japan’s ﬁrst cross-plant integrated energysaving business that aligns with the Tochigi Energy Strategy
and the Utsunomiya City Plan of Action Against Climate
Change. The plant has the capacity to generate 34,620 kWof electric power. The scale of power generation equates toapproximately 10,000 households when calculated according
to power consumption of ordinary homes.
An energy management system collects data about thepower and heat use of each business site with different
demands according to the season and hour of the day toefficiently supply power and heat from one large-scale energy
center. One major feature of this environmentally friendly
system is roughly 20% better energy savings and about 20%
higher reductions in CO2 emissions.
In the event of a power outage, gas engine generators is selfstarted to resume operation to enable a power and energy
supply to each business site, realizing a system supporting ahigh-level of business continuity.

This cogeneration energy center project centers on largescale gas engines with a capacity to generate 30,000 kW.
Shinryo Corporation was in charge of the design, procurement,
construction and commissioning (EPCC) contract work for thebuilding construction and installation of thermal insulation
conduits and private distribution lines.
The design actively leveraged digital technologies. For
example, we used CFD* technologies to run simulations of
the environment surrounding the engines and radiators tocreate plans for optimizing the thermal environment. We used
3D-CAD systems to verify the speciﬁc ﬂow of maintenancelines after construction. Reviews through these types oftechnologies provided an efficient design for the power
generation facility. Furthermore, digital technologies also
played a role in efficiently measuring the consumer premises
via the use of 3D scanning.
During the construction stage, Shinryo Corporation
capitalized on its vast technical expertise cultivated from awealth of experience in district heating and cooling systems
to build a plant centered around large-scale gas engines
and lay roughly 8,000 meters of district conduits and private
distribution lines. Every effort was also made to ensure
construction that considered customer needs, such as anuninterrupted power switchover to allow existing plants tocontinue normal operation.
Even in terms of the energy supply, the sc-brain integrated
information system from Shinryo Corporation realizes energy
management that achieves both machine control and energy
savings. sc-brain estimates the load to control the numberof gas engines in operation and determines if the supply is
insufficient, stable, or excessive from the position of the control
valve opening for the hot water consumers to ensure optimal
control of the hot water supply.

Growth and Development Through Work
The Japan’s ﬁrst district heating and cooling system (DHC) was born in Osaka in 1970.
Shinryo Corporation participated in this project before going on to grow and develop as
a company involved with a wide range of DHC facilities for over a half century. The world
also evolved new needs, such as more freedom using lower-carbon energy. Kiyohara
Smart Energy Center is one leading-edge facility that is able to satisfy these needs. Shinryo
Corporation will continue to take on challenges in new projects and grow together with its
customers.

A Project Challenged by Teamwork
This project let Shinryo Corporation step up to the challenge of a new EPCC contractscheme bundling all of the architecture, civil engineering and other construction work
together when building this power generation plant. Taking advantage of a lot of
unfamiliar technologies proved difficult. Solutions to these issues came in the form of
teamwork through technical coordination between corporate divisions and cooperation
between the design, sales and staffing departments at the head office. On-site staff strove
to overcome the daily challenges and achieve our goals. I am very proud unifying ourefforts has become one great example of work done by Shinryo Corporation.

About the New Yokohama City Hall

Our Work

The new Yokohama City Hall is the eighth built under an OPEN
YOKOHAMA concept to connect the City of Yokohama with its
people and nature as a sustainable international metropolis richwith diversity unique to a port city. The 32-story complex offers
an office area on the highest ﬂoors, conference rooms primarily
located on mid-level ﬂoors, and community and commercial
spaces on the lowest ﬂoors. As a place of cooperation andco-creation between the City of Yokohama and its people,
the new city hall offers an atrium (three-story vaulted spaceof roughly 1,200 m2) that accommodates a wide-range of
events and multiple broad open spaces around surrounding
buildings. Standing as a central point on the four corners offour neighboring wards, the new city hall enhances accessibility
between all these regions and heightens appeal of the entire city.
The highly eco-friendly building not only serves as a center ofcrisis management that is able to respond to various crises but
also adopts a district heating and cooling system interlinked
with Yokohama Island Tower next door to supply heat, aradiant air-conditioning system, ground heat recovery, and fuelbatteries. These innovations have certiﬁed the new Yokohama
City Hall ZEB Ready and earned it the highest ﬁve star ratingfrom the Building-Housing Energy Labeling System (BELS)
certiﬁcation as well as the CASBEE S Rank.

Shinryo Corporation was in charge of building the airconditioning system with the goals of installing a system thatcan be used comfortably over the long term. The desiccant
air-conditioning and radiant air-conditioning system work
as technologies introduced to provide ventilation throughnatural airﬂows. Meticulous temperature and lighting
management and control in the offices via sensors and otherdetection devices both enhance energy savings and provide a
comfortable indoor environment.
The construction actively used ICT and various units thattake advantage of Building Information Modeling (BIM) data
as well as more prefabrication and pre-cutting of piping ducts
to drive productivity. Shinryo Corporation also used an off-site
logistics warehouse and lifting center for the management anddelivery of materials and equipment for mid-level and upper
ﬂoors in order to undertake smooth and efficient delivery andlifting operations. These innovations helped save energy andresources, mitigate CO2 emissions, and reduce industrial waste
while contributing to more efficient work styles.

A new method developed together with our partner companies
therefore worked to enhance efficiency, save energy andresources, reduce CO2 emissions as well as industrial waste bysetting up a new piping unit on typical ﬂoors for centralized
management of orders, fabrication, and logistics.
This facility also implemented the Corro-Guard® nonchemical corrosion prevention system. This technology
developed by Shinryo Corporation to suppress corrosion andaging of pipes helped to improve the lifespan of the facility.
Moreover, the active introduction of other new technologies
from the use of an environmental analysis system to visualize
test operations in real-time, to innovations to run environmental
diagnostics and propose improvements in a short timeachieved an office space friendly to both people and the planet
as well as a facility with a high level of maintainability.
Shinryo Corporation also engaged in efforts to provide more
ﬂexible work styles on the construction site from introducing ashift system for working hours to promoting even more active

the temperatures in each warehouse even during power outage.
One point of emphasis in this project was process management.
Shinryo Corporation had to import almost all of the materials andequipment necessary for the construction from abroad. This madethings difficult because material and equipment management
largely impacted construction processes. Construction also
faced delays due to daily rain during the monsoon season in
Cambodia. This also made process management a struggle dueto the weather. Import and delivery management aligned withthe timing of construction was a vital point of the project toprevent any large impact on the construction schedule causedby bottlenecks in material and equipment management.
Therefore, Shinryo Corporation increased on-site patrols to
fully understand the progress of construction before meetings
with various partner companies about speciﬁc operations,worker assignments, conﬁrmations that preparations had been
made, and other such topics. We focused on providing a highquality facility within the construction time frame by working
together with our business partners by guiding construction

People in charge of quality management regularly patrol
construction sites to verify whether construction satisﬁes
the living environment, room pressure and other conditions
included in design drawings and construction quality plans
as well as construction blueprints by following a checklist.
To prevent any quality issues after delivery, we inspect thestate of important management items laid out for eachconstruction site. These important management items
are organized using examples of issues on other projects
that have happened in the past and items pointed out by
customers on customer satisfaction surveys. Efforts using
this PDCA cycle strive to prevent recurrence of the same

Promotion to Expand the Construction Career
Up System
The Construction Career Up System, launched in April 2019,is a certiﬁcation system developed by the Ministry of Land,
Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism in cooperation withconstruction industry organizations and other entities for the
purpose of certifying the skills and experience that an engineer
has amassed from an objective standpoint. Japan plans to makethe introduction of this certiﬁcation system mandatory on all
construction sites in 2023. The adoption of this system is expected
to drive on-site work efficiency by enhancing registration ofpractical experience and certiﬁcation of engineers, by ensuring fairevaluation of those skills, and by improving construction quality.
Shinryo Corporation promotes the use of the Construction
Career Up System with the hope of improving construction
quality by not only visualizing the careers of individual
engineers but also capabilities of partner companies througha number of experienced engineers they employ. Therefore,
the Headquarters as well as Osaka, Kyushu, Tohoku, and otherbranches practice this system on model sites in an effort toencourage and expand the certiﬁcation to partner companies.
In September 2020, about 700 member companies of the

how we use office space upon arrival at the office.
Our response also transitioned the conferences and on-site

morning meetings that had ordinary been done face-to-facefor years to online formats and divided offices to avoid crowded
spaces.
Shinryo Corporation hopes to leverage these work stylechanges and realizations gained while handling this viralcrisis in future work style reforms. We will realize ideal work
styles unique to Shinryo Corporation from a safe and secure
workplace to a sense of satisfaction, and reforms to long
working hours.

Various Efficiency Initiatives on Construction Sites
Morning Meeting Reforms

Use of ICT Technologies

Our construction sites have begun executing reforms tomorning meetings that avoid close contact settings yet further
efficiency. Some of our construction sites have divided andconduct morning meetings across multiple locations suchas the on-site office and worker stations while displaying job
descriptions and other necessary information on large monitors
installed at each venue. This reform did not only avoid a clusterof people but also quickly communicated information and cut
the time required for morning meetings in half.
We also remotely stream morning meetings on construction
sites to devices suchas smart phones. This
has also become an
initiative that is partof our training foryoung employees toprovide explanations
and guidance on
topics such as how
to conduct concise
morning meetingsand give clear
Informational Sharing via Large Monitors andinstructions to
Reductions to Time Spent on Morning Meetings
workers.

Shinryo Corporation uses ICT technologies to advanceinitiatives that remotely support on-site construction safety
and quality management.
Some construction sites have on-site personnel put on
wearable cameras and conduct patrols of the site while
managers at a remote location verify the online video stream
to provide guidance, such as indicating areas needing corrective
action. This system enables clear instructions because any
speciﬁc directions that are required can be shared in imagesby capturing a screenshot and using the handwriting function
to ﬁll in those instructions. Each site operates more efficiently
because managers can check video recorded of each site toprovide instructions at a later date when unavailable to verify
the site remotely in real-time.

Online Project Manager Meetings
Tokyo Metropolitan Area Division transitioned the ProjectManager Meetings joined by project managers responsible forconstruction sites to an online format.
This meeting shares technical as well as health andsafety information across organizational boundaries. Our
headquarters had acted as the venue, but sometimes project
managers were unable to attend when busy during peakseasons or when working on construction sites far away. The
participation rate dramatically improved by converting to an
online meeting. Direct and timely instructions and brieﬁngs
through this meeting helped project managers better
understand the information and facilitated more effective onsite operations.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, other construction sites
were unable to perform in-person plant inspections overseas
when installing foreign-made air-conditioners. Therefore, theon-site offices in Japan connected with the overseas production
plants online to perform remote inspections. The plants set up
ﬁxed cameras on testing measurement devices, electricallyoperated valves, and other equipment so that we could monitor
and conﬁrm the status of the air-conditioning system fromJapan by the behavior and operational data. Note that thedelivery and installation methods for air conditioners were
determined by checking the actual products after they aredelivered to the logistics warehouse in Japan. Thus combining
remote checks with psychical inspections helped enhancereliability.

Building an Environment to Accommodate New Work Styles
Policy Measures for Telework

Shinryo Corporation moved its headquarters to the Comore
Yotsuya office and commercial complex right next to JR Yotsuya
Station in July 2020. Using this move as an opportunity, we
distributed our offices between the old headquarters building
and neighboring buildings, which increased the average
personal space of each employee roughly 130%. This measure
was not simply for comfort in the office but also aimed to avoid
closed spaces, crowded spaces, and close-contact settings(Three Cs), which prevent the spread of COVID-19. We actively
use video conferencing systems to share internal information.
However, Shinryo Corporation also took measures to enhanceface-to-face meeting spaces and encourage thorough debate

We conduct practical training and education for roughly six
months after the primary training and education for not only
technical employees but also administrative employees on
construction sites in metropolitan areas. Senior employees arein charge of this practical education and teach a broad range ofknowledge, including overall management operations related

perspective and will to work overseas.
*This training program was not implemented in fiscal 2020.

Education by Assignment

Engineers take part in training to learn how to create work
drawings using 3D CAD software while administrators learn
the basic foundation to sales and accounting through handson training. These programs also provide an opportunity toreaffirm the attitude as a professional in secondary training
after the initial training is done.

Ryuho Matsuoka

I started by taking the new employee training and education
mostly online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I was a bit lostat first, but I came to feel closer to my colleagues during theexchange of ideas in the group work with my peers on theother side of the computer screen. I also learned a lot morefrom veteran employees in the practical on-site training andeducation. I will use this knowledge and experience in my work
and when creating work drawings. I hope I will become anengineer who people are confident giving work.

Ideal Annual Maintenance Proposals

Use of the Smart Siphon Waste Water System

Shinryo Technical Service Corporation proposes ideal annual
maintenance plans to customers that take into accounteverything from the runtime and operational proceduresof equipment to maintenance periods recommended bymanufacturers. These proposals strive to sustain the initial
performance of equipment and prolong trouble-free use. During
equipment renewals,
Shinryo Technical
Service Corporation
proposes equipmentthat can provide
energy savings
throughout the life
cycle and better
facility systems.

Shiroguchi introduced the Smart Siphon Waste Water System
into the (Tentative Name) Kameido 6-chome Project in Kotoku, Tokyo. A traditional waste water system uses gravity andrequires an incline for piping to drain water, which limits
options for waste water facilities. The introduction of this new
system eliminates the need for a slope by using siphon power
to improve thelayout freedom ofwaste water facilities.
This innovation cancontribute to longer
lasting buildings andhigher resource value
by making it easier torevise the layout offacilities.

pump at the Shimekiri-numa No. 2 Waste Drainage System (Pump
System) in Miyagi Prefecture, which went offline due to damage
from the torrential rain during Typhoon Hagibis in 2019. The waste
water drainage system is a facility that not only reduces ﬂood
damage from excess water pooling on farmland and roadways
but also protects the life and property of local residents. Shinryo
Kougyo worked toquickly recover thesystem while servicing

putting in place steps

Protecting Important Customer Information

Proposing More Rational Operations Through BIM*

SYSPRO CORPORATION strictly manages the document anddrawing data given to us by customers as well as the model
data and programs delivered to customers on internal andexternal servers able to restrict access to a limited numberof people. The company constantly monitors the status of
networks andhardware andprovides essential
maintenance, such as
updates to softwareto respond to thelatest cyber threats,
to protect customer
data whether loss orleakage.

Conventional system repairs require measurements by hand
if there are no up-to-date blueprints to create and revise thedrawings. However, the use of laser scanning measurement
technologies dramatically reduces the labor required for thesemeasurements. The transition of measurement data to a CAD
format enables
rational proposals inline with site needsfrom reviewing

THAI SHINRYO
Online Technical Training
THAI SHINRYO held online technical training for engineer staff.
This online training program intended to enhance the skills of
employees as project managers is a 20-hour course that was
taken by about 50 engineers on a broad range of things fromtechnical topics such as design calculations, installation quality
and material selection to on-site topics such as operational
procedures and safety management. The program was held
online on short notice to prevent the spread of COVID-19
infection. However, this new distance-learning format proved
effective by allowing on-site staff who were too far away totake the course in person to participate, which increased thenumber of people able to undergo the training compared toprevious years.
