Smart Building Service

Despite the rapid pace of digitalization, the adoption of smart buildings has remained limited.

Building facilities are increasingly expected to address a wide range of challenges, including evolving work styles, carbon neutrality initiatives, and workforce shortages. Digital transformation offers an effective solution to many of these issues. However, smart building adoption in Japan remains constrained due to the complexity of integrating existing building systems with modern applications and digital services. To enhance the way people live and work and to create more sustainable urban environments, it is essential to make smart buildings the standard rather than the exception.

Smart building consulting and design support

From the earliest planning stages, we work closely with clients to define requirements, evaluate use cases, and establish budgets. Our consulting and design services enable seamless integration between building equipment, building operating systems, and applications. By understanding the unique characteristics of each property, we design and propose the most effective smart building solutions to maximize value and performance.

Building OS and Application Planning and Provision

We provide solutions for a wide range of stakeholders, including building owners, operators, and facility managers. Our services include the planning, development, and deployment of Building Operating Systems (OS) and applications that enhance building value and user experiences over time. By collaborating with equipment manufacturers, elevator providers, HVAC vendors, and application partners, we create integrated smart building environments that improve operational efficiency, sustainability, and occupant comfort.
