Ims Hanakoganei P.T. Site: A Vision for Sustainable Living

The Ims Hanakoganei P.T. Site, a new residential project by the Polus Group's Chuo Jutaku Mind Square Division, is set to launch on May 23, 2025. Located in the western area of Tokyo, this development will consist of 35 homes constructed to meet the "Tokyo Zero Emission Housing" standards established by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.

What is Tokyo Zero Emission Housing?

Tokyo Zero Emission Housing refers to a set of environmental standards that promote residences equipped with high insulation and energy-efficient amenities such as lighting and air conditioning. The aim is to enhance the living environment for inhabitants while simultaneously protecting the planet. Each building in the Ims Hanakoganei P.T. Site will fulfill the B standard of this initiative, boasting superior insulation performance, as measured by a heat transfer coefficient of 0.46W/㎡・K or lower and a reduction of energy expenditure of 40% compared to conventional standards, facilitating the installation of renewable energy systems like solar panels.

Exceptional Features of Ims Hanakoganei P.T. Site

1. Cutting-Edge Construction Techniques

The homes at Ims Hanakoganei P.T. Site will feature a two-by-six construction method, which significantly enhances insulation compared to traditional two-by-four methods. This technique allows for thicker exterior walls (51mm), thereby effectively retaining heat and maintaining indoor temperatures. This results in reduced temperature variations within the home, promoting better health and comfort.

2. Energy-Efficient Windows

The project will employ windows made with a specialized resin frame and Low-E glass, designed to minimize heat transfer. This technology ensures that homes remain warm during winters and cool in summers, maximizing comfort and significantly reducing condensation issues.

3. Green Energy Solutions

Homes will be outfitted with a solar power system, a cloud-based battery storage system, and a Home Energy Management System (HEMS), all designed to optimize energy usage smartly. The AI-driven technology will store surplus daytime energy, which can then be utilized at night, thereby reducing electricity bills and supporting a more eco-friendly lifestyle.

4. Advanced Water Heating Options

Equipped with a hybrid water heating system known as Eco One X5, homes will be able to heat water using electricity while simultaneously maintaining gas backup for immediate heating, ensuring that homeowners never run out of hot water, regardless of electricity availability.

A Community Connecting People and Nature

The development plan aligns with Nishitokyo City's "Second Basic Green Plan," intended to enrich the local environment. The design will emphasize green spaces that create a natural ambiance, incorporating community gardens and spaces for children to connect with nature. Future plans include agricultural workshops focusing on cultivating blueberry trees in collaboration with local farms, thereby deepening the community's ties to nature and agriculture.

Safety and Disaster Preparedness

The homes will feature a series of structural safety measures, including seismic strength calculations to withstand natural disasters such as earthquakes and Typhoons. Using a unique simulation software, the Polus Group ensures buildings can endure various forces, enhancing residents' safety.

In addition, features such as a dedicated power supply during outages and a battery management system connected to AI weather alerts will provide peace of mind. Community parks within the development will serve as temporary evacuation sites during emergencies.
