We support the structural design work of designers with a wide range of business areas!

Along with the mandatory compliance with energy-saving standards in 2025, the special exception for Type 4 will be significantly reduced. After the enforcement in April 2025, structural examinations will be conducted for two-story wooden houses, except for some small-scale buildings, and the attachment of structural-related documents will be required. Therefore, our company will provide assistance with structural calculations (allowable stress calculations). Additionally, if our internal capacity for wall quantity calculations (frame calculations) is saturated, please feel free to consult with us.

• Structural Design Office

Leave the energy-saving calculations for new houses and obtaining the BELS evaluation certificate to us!

The law regarding the improvement of energy consumption performance in buildings (hereinafter referred to as the Building Energy Efficiency Act) has been amended, and from April 2025, compliance with energy-saving standards will be mandatory for all new residential buildings. Our company handles two aspects for new residential buildings: [Energy-saving calculations] and [Acquisition of BELS evaluation certificates]. We conduct nearly 200 energy-saving calculations each month and have a track record of calculating 2,000 new residential buildings annually.

• Surveying Office

The collapse simulation software will be input and verified by local businesses. We support the creation of homes that can be lived in continuously.

Wallstat is software that creates an analysis model of wooden houses, applies seismic motion to the building just like in a shaking table experiment, and numerically analyzes the collapse process up to complete failure, allowing for visualization of seismic performance on a computer. In the residential business, we offer input and verification services for Wallstat. "I downloaded Wallstat but can't input data." If you are in this situation, please feel free to consult with our residential business.

We will conduct a "preliminary survey of asbestos-containing building materials" that is necessary before carrying out demolition and renovation work, focusing on wooden single-family houses.

There are four points regarding the preliminary asbestos survey for residential businesses. 1. Nationwide survey capability Asbestos-containing building material surveyors will conduct surveys nationwide. *As of October 2023, surveys conducted by asbestos-containing building material surveyors are mandatory.* 2. Fast delivery within one week Delivery will be made within one week from the survey date. This includes document surveys based on design documents and "deemed containing surveys" conducted on-site. *Delivery times may vary if sample collection and analysis are involved.* 3. Sample collection and analysis available Sample collection should be conducted on-site with your presence. Delivery times will be communicated based on the number of collection points. *Analysis is limited to samples collected by our company.* 4. Electronic reporting based on the screen Report *Asbestos preliminary survey result reporting system* For demolition and renovation work of a certain scale or larger, electronic reporting of survey results is required. *To use the asbestos preliminary survey result reporting system, prior issuance of a G Biz ID is necessary.*

Thank you for your continued support. On February 18, 2026, we will release the comprehensive weather platform ZEROSAI X-AI. Our strength lies in the ability to integrate AI for wind speed forecasting, weather observation, environmental data, and hazard notifications, in line with traditional pinpoint weather forecasting. On the same day, we will also release a cloud-managed dust meter as a new option for the comprehensive marine platform Compass PLUS. For more details, please visit our website.

The "Hybrid Joint TCF Type" is a bridge expansion device designed for the Tohoku region that responds to "compacted snow," which occurs due to vehicle traffic after snowfall. It meets the 10kN snow load standard set by the Tohoku Regional Development Bureau. Additionally, it adopts a structure known as the "face plate type," which ensures that the water-stopping material does not become exposed on the surface, and it comes standard with "secondary water-stopping material." By employing a double structure, it reduces the risk of leakage and achieves higher water-stopping performance. Furthermore, to prevent snowplow blades from getting caught on the expansion device, it also comes standard with a "snow removal guide plate." This not only protects the product itself but also considers safety during snow removal operations.

The "HM-S6" is an embedded park sensor that detects vehicles through changes in magnetic flux and responds to various situations from passing to stationary vehicles. It can be used for the opening and closing of input doors at waste treatment plants, as well as for gates that vehicles pass through and outdoor parking applications. It can also be installed on rebar and steel plates. 【Features】 ■ Resistant to the effects of natural environments such as rain, snow, temperature changes, and geomagnetism ■ Protection rating IP68 reduces the risk of water ingress ■ Ten times the load capacity compared to conventional embedded park sensors (based on our comparison) ■ Can distinguish between vehicles even when they pass continuously ■ Can be installed on rebar and steel plates *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

In facilities operating nurse call systems, we have made bed exit sensors wireless, allowing them to notify in conjunction with the nurse call system. By simply connecting the mat sensor "Foldable Thin Matt-kun," the body movement call "Ugo-kun," and the wheelchair body movement call "Ayumi-chan" to the transmitter HB-RS, you can make the bed exit sensor wireless. The infrared sensor "Just Place Pole-kun" has the transmitter HB-RS built-in. This helps prevent accidents caused by falls, slips, or wandering, contributing to the efficiency of medical operations. 【Features】 ○ Wireless conversion by simply connecting existing sensors to the transmitter HB-WSK. ○ Bed exit sensors notify wirelessly in conjunction with the nurse call system. ○ Up to 5 transmitters can be registered with one receiver. ○ The communication distance between the transmitter and receiver is approximately 10 meters. ◎ For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
