BELS・ZEB Certification
BELS is a third party certification system in Japan that displays the energy saving performance of buildings. From April, 2016, real estate companies (and others) are required to strive to display the energy-saving performance of buildings based on the Act on the Improvement of Energy Consumption Performance of Buildings (“Building Energy Efficiency Act”).
A Net Zero Energy Building (“ZEB”) is a building that aims at zero energy balance with considerably reduced annual energy consumption by saving as much energy as possible via better heat insulation, solar shading, natural energy and high-efficiency equipment, coupled with creating energy by photovoltaic power generation (or other energy generating methods), while maintaining a comfortable environment.
In addition, in the BELS certification system, it is possible to obtain certification according to the level of ZEB, based on the primary energy consumption level of buildings.
