Introduction

In response to the pressing requirements for carbon neutrality, one building Co., Ltd. has rolled out an innovative audio series titled "ZEB Lab. Talk." This initiative aims to empower professionals in the architecture industry with essential knowledge regarding Zero Energy Buildings (ZEB) and energy efficiency calculations in an easily accessible format. The audio content is designed for busy architects, planners, and those interested in sustainability, allowing them to assimilate valuable insights during their daily commutes or work breaks.

Background

Market Trends and Challenges

With the target of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, reducing energy consumption in buildings has become a priority. Starting April 1, 2025, all new constructions must meet energy efficiency standards, necessitating robust design frameworks to ensure energy performance verification. Successful ZEB implementation not only requires design expertise but also a solid grounding in energy calculations. Yet, many professionals find it challenging to continually update their fundamental knowledge of energy efficiency amid the demands of their work.

Solution

To address these challenges, one building Co., Ltd. created "ZEB Lab. Talk," providing an answer to the increasing need for easy-to-access learning resources. Through this audio series, architectural professionals and ZEB planners can enhance their understanding of ZEB and energy efficiency calculations, acquiring practical, actionable knowledge crucial for their work.

Vision of one building Co., Ltd.

The mission of one building Co., Ltd. revolves around promoting the integration of environmental design and energy calculations in architectural practices aiming for carbon neutrality. By providing free tools like "BIM sustaina® for Energy (Standard)" and audio content, the company aspires to elevate the overall capability of the industry. Energy efficiency should no longer be the realm of a few specialists but should be a common knowledge across all architects and designers. They perceive energy calculation as a foundational skill that will contribute to a more sustainable future for the construction industry.
