CASBEE Real Estate Certification

The Comprehensive Assessment System for Built Environment Efficiency (“CASBEE”) is a system for comprehensively assessing and ranking the environmental performance of buildings with regard to aspects such as the enhancement of environmental quality and performance including indoor comfort and consideration for the landscape, on top of the aspect of environmental consideration such as energy saving and the use of materials and equipment with a lower environmental burden.

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.

*BELS Certification started on April 1, 2016 on a five-tier rating scale (★ to ★★★★★), and it transitioned to a new seven-tier rating scale (0 (no stars) to ★★★★★★) on April 1, 2024. For properties that have been evaluated under the new system, the rank is indicated in the table below with (new system).

WELL Health-Safety Rating

The WELL Health-Safety Rating is a new certification system published by the International WELL Building Institute, which is the WELL certification management organization. The WELL Health-Safety Rating is an evidence-based, third-party verified rating for all new and existing building and space types focusing on operational policies, maintenance protocols, stakeholder engagement and emergency plans to address a post-COVID-19 environment now and into the future.
Designed to empower owners and operators across large and small businesses alike to take the necessary steps in order to prioritize the health and safety of their staff, visitors and stakeholders, the WELL Health-Safety Rating can help guide users in preparing their spaces for re-entry in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, instilling confidence in those who come through the building as well as the broader community.
