Mitsubishi Estate Logistics REIT Investment Corporation (“MEL”) announced that MEL has received a certificationof the Building-Housing Energy-Efficiency Labeling System (“BELS”) for three of its properties, LOGIPORT Sagamihara

Overview of BELS
Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) enacted the Assessment Guideline forIndication of Energy Saving Capabilities of Non-residential Buildings in 2013 to improve energy conservation in Japanand to indicate applicable energy-related information in various circumstances, including the real estate market. BELS
uses an evaluation method that complies with the Amendment of Energy Conservation Standards (enforced April 1,2014). BELS is evaluated by third-party evaluators based on a variety of measurements. Ratings are given according toa scale (one star “★” to five stars “★★★★★”).
A Net Zero Energy Building (“ZEB”) is a building that aims at zero energy balance with considerably reduced annualenergy consumption by saving as much energy as possible via better heat insulation, solar shading, natural energy andhigh-efficiency equipment, coupled with creating energy by photovoltaic power generation (or other energygenerating methods), while maintaining a comfortable environment. In addition, in the BELS certification system, it ispossible to obtain certification according to the level of ZEB, and based on the primary energy consumption level ofbuildings, ZEB (energy savings of 100% or more), Nearly ZEB (energy savings of at least 75%), ZEB Ready (energysavings of greater than 50%). It is evaluated in 3 stages.
