Zero Energy Housing (ZEH) Initiatives

For this fiscal period, Teikoku Real Estate achieved ZEH compliance for 98 buildings, translating to 1,914 units. The highlights included a notable growth in ZEH compliant structures from 72 to 98, with household compliance increasing by 550 households from the previous year’s total of 1,364. The household compliance rate improved impressively from 94% to 98%.

Additionally, the company focused on varied categories of ZEH standard homes including ZEH-M Ready (60 units), Nearly ZEH-M (18 units), ZEH-M Oriented (18 units), and ZEH-M (2 units), reflecting its dedication to energy-efficient living spaces.

Cost Reduction Strategies

In the push to manage construction costs effectively during 2026, Teikoku Real Estate utilized multiple strategies such as reevaluating materials and specifications, employing Building Information Modeling (BIM), and leveraging various subsidy programs. These strategies have enhanced environmental performance and wood utilization while simultaneously achieving efficiency in construction and design.

In a particular model case of an LB (3-story) building consisting of 18 units, the estimated cost-saving effect due to these adaptations stands at approximately ¥5.76 million per building, highlighting the company's dedication to affordability and sustainability in housing construction.

Response to Material Procurement Challenges

The fiscal year ending June 2026 presented challenges related to material procurement, largely due to geopolitical situations in the Middle East. Despite these hurdles, Teikoku Real Estate effectively leveraged its established procurement networks and purchasing power to source alternative materials and secure reliable supply channels, resulting in successful completion and handover of the scheduled properties.

Going forward, the company aims to continue balancing quality with cost amidst fluctuating material prices and procurement conditions, ensuring stable supply of rental housing.
