Measures to Stop Global Warming — Construction to Increase Energy Saving in Existing Buildings —
February 8, 2024
EXEO Group, Inc. (head office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Tetsuya Funabashi, President) announces that it made a silent partnership investment in Green Building PJ1 GK (hereinafter the "Fund") whose goal is the development of property capable of acquiring certification relating to the improvement of energy efficiency of existing buildings which was announced on September 14, 2023, and that the Company will handle the construction of existing buildings launched by the Fund (hereinafter the "Construction") aiming to increase the momentum of the shift to energy saving.
In the Construction, our consideration of the environment extends to non-newly built structures. Conventionally, it has been a common practice in the construction industry to demolish an old building before constructing a new one. Instead, construction for energy saving will be performed with the tenants staying in the building. In this way, we will obtain more value. In construction with tenants staying in the building, we have accumulated knowledge and expertise for many years as a general engineering company and will leverage them. The Construction is scheduled to acquire the ZEB Ready* environmental certification.
This is not a conventional type of business oriented toward receiving construction orders based on the customer’s requests. We started business discussions based on social issues and repeatedly hypothesized and verified multifaceted issues. By gaining the cooperation of companies aligned with the efforts, we received a new order for a proposal-oriented project to create a series of jobs from the organization of the project to its completion. Going forward, the Construction will be implemented and, as a continuous proposal-oriented business, will stay committed to environmental consideration efforts through the decarbonization of buildings in cooperation with other companies in different industries and with different types of business.

As many new buildings are being constructed now because of redevelopment and other reasons, the number of office buildings is increasing. We will be actively and continuously committed to generating greater benefits by focusing on older office buildings around 30 years old, thereby creating new value from these existing buildings and remodeling them into comfortable, eco-friendly buildings with modern environmental performance.
Under the2030 Vision, "Engineering for Fusion — Engineering connecting everything in society to the future," the EXEO Group believes that its universal mission is to solve social issues. The Group will connect and integrate many different types of engineering through innovation, continue to take on challenges to achieve sustainable growth through value creation, and work to remain a corporate group that is needed, towards the achievement of a carbon neutral society.
* ZEB: An abbreviation of Net Zero Energy Building. ZEB Ready is a certification given to buildings which meet the criterion of reducing their standard primary energy consumption 50％ or more, excluding renewable energy. For details, refer to the following URL.
