Roland DG Corporation, Hamamatsu, Japan, has announced that the company will relocate and consolidate its headquarters to Miyakoda and construct a new “Nearly ZEB” certified building that will reduce energy consumption by 75%.
To further improve efficiency, Roland has decided to integrate the factory and headquarter functions that are currently located at two separate venues in the Miyakoda area in Kita-ku, Hamamatsu. Additionally, the company will newly construct a “Nearly ZEB” certified building in July 2023 as its new headquarters, which will reduce energy consumption by 75%.
ZEB certification defines four levels of certification based on the level of achievement of a zero-energy construction. Zero-energy construction aims to reduce the annual primary energy consumption balance required for air conditioning, lighting, etc. to zero by combining energy-saving technologies, such as use of natural energy and efficient equipment systems, and energy-creating technologies, such as solar power generation. — D.S.
