BELS uses the Assessment Guideline which Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT)
enacted for Indication of Energy Saving Capabilities of Non-residential Buildings in 2013 to improve energy conservationin Japan and to indicate applicable energy-related information in various circumstances, including the real estate market.

ZEB is a building aims at annual zero primary energy balance by saving as much energy as possible with such means

as better heat insulation and high-efficiency equipment as well as generating energy by solar power generation andother power generation methods, while maintaining a comfortable environment. It is evaluated in the BELS

The Property has received “ZEB” Certification as the building with annual zero or negative primary energy balance.

Initiatives in the property
In the Property, LED Lightning and motion sensors have been installed to reduce the amount of electricity
consumption. Furthermore, a scheme for self consumption of renewable energy, in which electricity generated bysolar panels installed on the roof is used for electricity in the Property, has been adopted (first time for MEL). Theseefforts were highly evaluated. By reducing the amount of electricity purchased from outside through this selfconsumption scheme (the “Scheme”), it will contribute to reduce CO2 emissions in the Property.
