Building-wide air conditioning heat exchange system for residential condominium units

Haseko Corporation, Prime Life Technologies, and Panasonic Construction Engineering have jointly developed the withair_®CUBE building-wide air conditioning heat exchange system for residential condominium units.
Air conditioning equipment such as air conditioners, which have been installed in each unit, are now centralized in a single location. By centrally managing one high-efficiency room air conditioner, it is possible to maintain a largely uniform temperature in each unit, and the system is expected to be effective as a heatstroke countermeasure. The system is also equipped with an advanced air cleaning function, which prevents pollen and dust from entering units and cleans the air during circulation while air is supplied. We will actively propose the adoption of this system so as to realize a comfortable environment in residential units.

System features: Comfortable heating/air cleaning function/humidifier function/comfortable sleeping mode/energy-saving

Group-wide DX promotion system

The Haseko Group has established the DX Promotion Committee to promote DX across the Group by maximizing the Group’s collective capabilities. The Committee is chaired by the President of Haseko Anesis, the company that serves as the Group’s incubator, and its members are composed of the Presidents of the various Group companies. With the launch of the Group’s DX Promotion Review Committee and Theme-based Working Groups (“WG”) to drive execution, organizational initiatives have been making progress.
Alongside the WGs, we are supporting the DX challenges of each group company and conducting testing of generative AI and other new technologies. In addition, we are creating a platform to connect the information assets accumulated by our various group companies and are exploring the feasibility of utilizing the data. Furthermore, given that enhancing employees’ mindsets and skills is important if we are to achieve digital transformation, we have established the DX Academy and are engaged in efforts to develop human resources for DX.

DX Academy: Changing employees’ mindsets to promote DX

We began the DX Academy with the goal of transforming the mindsets of all group employees and improving their understanding of the topic.
In order to realize a future where we can provide rich living and housing through DX, we are focusing on changing mindsets and raising literacy levels for all our employees while also nurturing human resources to drive our DX projects.

DX Academy initiatives

• ・1st phase: Implementation of the “DX Mindset Changing Program” for fostering DX mindsets and imparting basic information. The program was administered to all group officers and employees.
• ・2nd phase: Implementation of the “Innovation Leader Development Program” for developing DX promotion leaders in each of our companies and divisions. The program was administered to selected mid-level and young employees.
• ・3rd phase: Implementation of the “DX Literacy Course” and “DX Seminar” targeted at management covering methods for evaluating DX ideas and their role in bringing these ideas to fruition. These programs were administered to management-level employees who lead the organization.
• ・4th phase: Implementation of “Haseko DX Training” for imparting the fundamentals of DX and the ways of thinking required to make it a reality, raising and updating the overall level of DX literacy of the Group as a whole. The program was administered to all employees and officers (from June to July 2024).

Promoting DX at construction sites

Through proactive ICT technological initiatives and working in close collaboration with cooperating companies, Haseko Corporation aims to raise productivity and achieve labor savings for itself as well as its cooperating companies.
RFID tags are used in installation tests. In a ball-passing test system using RFID for drainpipes, the time of an RFID-tagged ball’s insertion and retrieval are recorded using a reader, and the logged duration is saved to the cloud. By pulling the data into reports in this manner, we have achieved reductions in the amount of labor spent on testing and reporting.
In addition, since April 2021, we have deployed the DandALL system for scheduling delivery and uploading of equipment and materials as well as the SPIDERPLUS system for sharing drawings across all sites. Information that could only be accessed by returning to the office can now be checked using devices such as smartphones and iPads. By significantly reducing the amount of time required for transportation and sharing the same set of information with our staff and employees of cooperating companies, we have reduced the amount of rework.
We are currently verifying the reductions in labor and efficiency gains at sites that have fully adopted the BIM* and DX models.
*BIM: Building Information Modeling. BIM is a design method in which a 3D model of a building is built using computers.

ICT condominium

By harnessing the power of ICT (information and communications technology), including sensor networks, AI and cloud service applications, we are promoting the creation of high-value-added condominiums. We have implemented a variety of cutting-edge technologies to make everyday life more convenient and comfortable, such as facial recognition auto-locks for common and private entrances, parcel delivery boxes, and an app for residents that is linked to the weather and earthquake sensors installed in the building.
The different types of digital data acquired from the ICT condominiums are collected and analyzed as “living information” on the BIM & LIM Cloud information platform, and then combined with BIM data to create new value, such as improving the convenience of residents and extending the lifespan of the building.

Demonstrations of ICT services in existing for-sale condominiums

Haseko Corporation, Haseko Anesis, Haseko Reform, and the SOUTH ALL CITY housing estate condominium management association have collaboratively introduced ICT services to the SOUTH ALL CITY condominium (a 791-unit property) on a demonstration basis. While these services have been introduced primarily in rental condominiums to date, this is the first time they have been introduced at an existing for-sale condominium.
The services were installed during the large-scale repair works undertaken by Haseko Reform. Through technology such as the “MyLim”* app for residents and digital signage, we provided residents with updated information on the construction works and the status of services.
We will continue to bring more convenience to residents and increase the value of condominiums through initiatives for proposing ICT services in order to optimize living.
*A proprietary app developed by Haseko that enables users to check information gathered from various connected sensors.

ICT services that have been introduced

・Information relating to construction work: digitalization of repair works

・Information relating to housing: face recognition systems; systems for checking crowd status

・Information relating to condominium repairs and management: weather sensors (weather data)/accelerometers (earthquake data)

・Latest announcements: the “MyLim” app for residents; signage; transmission through in-unit TVs

The Haseko Living Metaverse Project
Metaverse Model Room Tour has been introduced as the first phase of the project

We have launched the Haseko Living Metaverse Project, in which the latest metaverse technology is used to create “the future norm for housing and lifestyle.” In the first phase of the project, we introduced the Metaverse Model Room Tour which aims to increase customer satisfaction levels during the condominium consideration stage.
The service allows users to tour a reproduction of the condominium unit and common facilities recreated in the metaverse space on the web, using a computer, smartphone or other devices. The properties in the metaverse space are created from BIM data*, realistically reproducing the layout, equipment, furniture, interior textures, and other characteristics. Potential customers can visualize what it is like to live in the property, regardless of time or place, and view the interior of the building while communicating with sales staff. Currently, this service is available for the BRANCHERA Yokohama Seya and BRANCHERA Kawasaki Oshima.
*BIM data: a 3D building model designed with a computer
