The 46th Central GlassInternational Architectural Design Competition
Theme: Glass Architecture in 2050
The theme of this time, “Glass Architecture in 2050,” is not just about making projections for what the coming four decades will be
like, but also about asking ourselves what considerations and actions we shall undertake in order to be able to shape the coming 40
years to our liking.

Contemplating on the ideal future in 2050 and realizing it require taking one step at a time in the processes of constructing thefuture from now. In the modern architectures, the main advantage of glass was that it could be used in the same way in any
environment around the world. As time goes by, however, people started using glass in different ways in different regions,environments and applications, and utilize glass in different combinations with for instance double-glazing and louver showing its
unknown capability. Such combinations will no doubt diversify further in the coming years. Moreover, the unique feature of glass-transparency- is likely to give rise to new designs as time goes by. At any rate, it is certain that glass will play an important role in
the architecture of 2050.

Right after the earthquake struck, at the Sendai Plant we immediately went about confirming the safety of our employees and their families. It took a very long time
to locate everyone, but thankfully there was no loss of life.
Although the Plant was not damaged by the tsunami, strong tremors of seismic intensity 6-weak lasted for several minutes, which destroyed most of the plate glass
we had in stock and caused damage to some buildings and equipment. Furthermore, on April 7, right after the Plant was fully brought back online, there was aseismic intensity 6-weak aftershock, which again destroyed most of the plate glass in stock, and actually caused more building damage than the initial earthquake.
We had had damage prevention measures to protect the plate glass in place since before the earthquake, but those measures were ineffective, and we were madepainfully aware of the inadequacy of the predictions of the scale of the damage and the steps we had taken to counteract them. Furthermore, in addition toelectricity, water, gas and other infrastructure outages, there was a severe lack of fuel for automobiles and other equipment, which impeded the restoration work.
The experiences of the Great East Japan Earthquake have made us realize that the first priority should be the safe evacuation of personnel. To that end, as soon as
we were able to, we installed in the factory earthquake early warning alarms, transmitters, and evacuation alarms. At the same time, we began conducting
evacuation drills. We have formed a crisis committee to put the lessons learned in the recent disaster into practice in future responses to earthquakes, and we plan
to continue to make use of what we have learned in times of disaster if and when they arise going forward.

The tremors experienced by the Chemical Research Center were seismic intensity 5-weak. Thankfully, there were no injuries and wewere able to resume normal operations almost immediately. However, the three-hour long power outages due to the rolling
blackouts and restrictions placed on power consumption were unprecedented for us. We needed power to operate the bench plants,
but by that time, there were neither generators nor fuel to power them to be found in the Kawagoe area. Eventually, we were able
to borrow two 45 kW generators and the fuel to run them from the Matsusaka Plant, which enabled us to continue working.
Not long after, the rolling blackouts were replaced with restrictions on power consumption, shifting the focus to saving energy,
which we dealt with by turning off the temperature controls in cleanrooms and other facilities when people were not using them, byreducing ventilation volume, and by installing power demand alarms.
Learning from these lessons, we are currently in the process of installing new off-grid generators so we can maintain the bench plant
operations even if the power goes out and use “peak-cut” compliant power supplies when it is not out. We are also planning
further power-saving measures, such as replacing old and degraded boilers and freezers with newer energy-saving models.

Preparing for risk from natural disasters
At the Kawasaki Plant, several times a year, we conduct plant-wide
earthquake drills that take into account fires and leaks caused by earthquakes,
we use intervals between operations to conduct plant evacuation drills, andwe carry out disaster prevention education exercises for the staff assigned todisaster prevention in the Plant’s own disaster and fire defense organization.
The Ukishima Joint Disaster Prevention Board, an organization in the Ukishima
area of Kawasaki City of which the Kawasaki Plant is a member, is organizedon effective principles of mutual aid, such that if there is a fire or otherdisaster at one company’s plant, other companies will help extinguish the fireor provide other assistance.

Central Glass Tokyo Co., Ltd. (Urayasu Plant)
Improving rapid recovery capabilities
The bay area of Urayasu City, Chiba Prefecture, where the Urayasu Plant is located, is land that was reclaimed in the 1970s. It is an area that
suffered extensive damage from ground liquefaction during the Great East Japan Earthquake. Fortunately, there were no lives lost among plant
personnel, and the damage to the plate glass and equipment was fairly minor.
Nevertheless, the ground outside the Plant did cave in (a maximum of 70~80cm), and the water supply stopped, which rendered the Plant inoperable for aperiod of 10 days following the initial earthquake.
There were also rolling blackouts, but we were still able to bring the plant backonline 18 days after the initial quake. The disaster drove home the importanceof having the capability to recover and resume operations rapidly. What ismore, the Urayasu Plant is situated along Tokyo Bay, and according to thepredictions released by Chiba Prefecture in April of 2012, a tsunami hitting
Urayasu City could reach as high as 2.5m. Hence, the measures we have toprotect us from tsunamis need to be revisited as well. In addition, according to
Urayasu City’s flood hazard map, the area around the Plant could potentiallyflood due to torrential rains, so we are also studying steps to guard against
flooding.

Natural disaster contingency plans

Power-saving, security, anddisaster prevention

Preparing for risk from natural disasters

In the wake of the Great East Japan Earthquake, we updated our old disaster contingency plans.
The most significant revisions were changes made to the primary evacuation sites. Because the previous
plans were designed primarily to deal with building fires, the primary evacuation sites were parking lots
and sports fields. To make it easier to take secondary shelter (on the third floor or higher at the Glass
Research Center) in the event of a tsunami, the area outside the front of the Center building was madethe primary evacuation site. Training drills are being planned to see how effectively we can get everyone
to an initial place of safety.

Updating of earthquake and tsunami disaster contingency plans
In the wake of the Great East Japan Earthquake, we relied on guidelines for the Tokai-Tonankai-Nankai
earthquake that is expected to hit the Tokai region sometime in the
future, and conducted studies of the projected earthquake magnitude,etc. We then updated the earthquake
and tsunami disaster contingency plansin the Plant regulations accordingly.
Particular attention was given to tsunami
height, the time it would take for atsunami to reach land, evacuation
methods, sites and times, methods forconveying information to our employees,
and evacuation training. We also put up
a notice of evacuation sites and altitude
at the entrance of evacuation sites.
We revised the methods for the issuingof evacuation orders on days off or atnight in the event of an emergency.

Social & Environmental Report 2012

In the winter of 2011 we received a request from theKansai Electric Power Co. Inc., to conserve energy. The
Sakai Mfg. Site decided to cooperate and instituted
power-saving measures. Furthermore, to prepare forthe possible occurrence of a Tokai-Tonankai-Nankai
earthquake, the Sakai Mfg. Site updated its disasterprevention and preparedness standards. Since the2011 disaster, we have stepped up education andtraining efforts for all personnel working at the site aswell as those working at affiliated offices in an
attempt to ensure that everyone is prepared.

At the Ube Plant, which is located in the Ube-Onoda industrial district, we believe that ceaseless efforts on thepart of all involved are crucial to ensuring security. We are continually improving upon our security and disasterprevention system by regularly conducting disaster preparedness drills at each of the workplaces as well ascomprehensive disaster preparedness drills
together with affiliated companies. In
addition, we also participate in the firefighting
games held annually in the Ube area, whichhelps to increase disaster awareness andinstills a deeper sense of duty on the part ofstaff charged with disaster prevention. We
have renewed our awareness of theimportance of keeping people safe, and shallensure that every single employee, from the
top to the bottom of the organization,
understands the importance of stepping up
and taking action when it comes to disasterprevention activities. We are deeply committed
to our ongoing efforts at safety and security.
