Use of LCA (Life Cycle Analysis)
The Tokyu Fudosan Holdings is developing a wide range of businesses related to the development, operation, and management of the real estate, and in that, we analyze and examine the life cycle of buildings and promote the reduction of environmental burden.
Tokyu Land Corporation calculates the primary energy consumption at the operation stage when designing a condominium, and reports on it based on the Building Energy Conservation Law. For CASBEE-certified properties, life cycle CO2 is calculated for each category such as construction, repair/renovation/demolition, and operation. We aim to reduce environmental pollution and utilize resources by using the results of comparisons with general buildings (reference values) in our design process.
In addition, Tokyu Community Corp. analyzes the life cycle of the building when entrusting the management of condominiums and formulates a long-term repair plan for building maintenance. As a result of examining these, it was found that the cycle of large-scale renovation work can be extended more than before by adopting highly durable materials. This will reduce the number of large-scale renovations during the entire building life cycle and reduce building materials and waste during construction. This has made it possible for us to extend the cycle of large-scale renovation work at Brands City Hongodai from 12 years to 16 years.
