Overview of Kawasaki Environment Research Institute (KERI)
ⅠAim
There is a need to enhance comprehensive survey/research into theextensive fields of the environmental sector, to accurately handle
diverse and complex environmental issues. In response, KERI has
been established to become a comprehensive environmental research
hub through reorganization and merging the Research Institute forEnvironmental Protection, Pollution Monitoring Center, Global
Environment Knowledge Center; while collaborating with external
research institutes such as the United Nations Environment
Programme (UNEP), National Institute for Environmental Studies,
several universities as well as, locally based companies with excellent
environmental technologies.

ⅡFive Functions of KERI
＜Function １＞
Promote international contribution through Kawasaki’s
Excellent environmental technologies＜Function 2＞
Collect and disseminate information regarding Kawasaki’s
excellent environmental technology＜Function 3＞
Research which aims for “Urban and Industrial Co-existence”＜Function 4＞
Surveillance/survey/research for further environmental improvement
and to establish preventative measures against environmental pollution＜Function 5＞
Cooperative environmental education and studies with multiple agents

ⅣAmple Environmental Consideration in Design
through leading edge technologies

Ⅲ Tonomachi International Strategic Zone
（KING SKYFRONT）＜Tonomachi 3-chome district＞
・Situated on the opposing
shore of Haneda Airport,
which was re-expanded andinternationalized in October2010.
・A 40ha area aiming toward
the accumulation ofuniversities, R&D institutes
and companies that possess
leading-edge environmental
and life science industry
technologies, as well as theaccumulation of airportrelated industries.

2) Implementation of Energy
Efficient Technology* Automatic human sensor lighting
and air conditioning* Increased heat insulation throughdouble walling

Tonomachi 3chome district＜Life Science & Environment Research Center (LiSE)＞
・Erected to be the core facility that promotes the formation ofTonomachi 3-chome district as a research and development hub.
・A joint facility used by the Environment Research Center, theInstitute of Public Health and several leading-edge life scienceand environmental sector companies/R&D institutes.

Global Contributions and Industrial Exchange
Capitalizing on our past experience with pollution and cutting-edge environmental
initiatives to date, we plan to widely disseminate information on superior environmental
technology and products within Japan and overseas.
We will transfer environmental technology as a global contribution and a form ofindustrial exchange.
