Introducing HEIM MAISON-T: A Sustainable Living Solution for Families

HEIM MAISON-T: A New Era of Family-Oriented Rental Housing

Overview
On July 28, 2023, Sekisui Chemical Co., Ltd launched its latest rental housing package, HEIM MAISON-T, aimed at families. This new offering integrates standard energy storage systems, catering specifically to the needs of households with children. Designed with energy efficiency and disaster resilience in mind, HEIM MAISON-T aims to provide peace of mind to family-oriented tenants across Japan, excluding Hokkaido, Okinawa, and certain remote islands.

Market Context
As property prices continue to climb due to rising land prices and construction costs, we observe a significant shift in rental preferences among younger families in their 20s and 30s. In light of the decreasing number of new owner-occupied homes, the demand for rental properties that accommodate family living is on the rise. Moreover, in alignment with the government's goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, there is an increased call for eco-friendly and high-quality rental options.

Product Features
The HEIM MAISON-T is equipped with various exciting features:
1. Standard Energy Storage: Uniquely, this package is the first to include energy storage batteries as a standard feature in rental housing. This allows residents to minimize their dependency on external electricity sources.
- The battery can be customized in two versions: 4.9 kWh and 9.9 kWh.
- It incorporates a solar power system (that generates 2.5 kW or above) and a home energy management system (HEMS) capable of monitoring consumption effectively.

2. Disaster Resilience: In the event of power outages, households can draw on energy stored within their battery systems. Furthermore, during severe weather alerts, HEMS can preemptively charge the battery to ensure power availability when needed.

3. Family-Friendly Security: To ensure safety, HEIM MAISON-T features advanced security measures combining smartphone applications with intercom systems and window sensors, thus allowing real-time monitoring.

Community Impact
Sekisui Chemical is devoted to providing environmentally friendly housing solutions that serve future generations. With HEIM MAISON-T, we aim to deliver sustainable living options that not only contribute to family welfare but also promote community resilience against climate challenges.

Cost Savings
One notable benefit of HEIM MAISON-T is its potential to significantly reduce monthly utility bills. For instance, families living in a 2LDK unit with the specified amenities can expect to save up to 60,000 yen annually on electricity costs comparatively to traditional rental housing.

Adaptive Living Spaces
Each apartment is designed to accommodate modern family needs, allowing for easy control of heating and cooling through HEMS, adjust temperature based on individual preferences, thus enhancing comfort for all family members. This feature is further complemented by a climate management system that adapts to sleep patterns for optimal rest.

Conclusion
