Is this the first in Japan? We've uploaded photos of the "Minergie P" eco-house, which meets the highest Swiss standards!

Today was another busy day. Work is busy, but we still have some aftermath from the expansion of our office.
That would take time. However, although there is still work to be done,
The arrangement is almost finished.
From tomorrow onwards, we will be working on the remaining work by the craftsmen (lighting and entrance door), setting up the items that have not yet arrived, and coordinating the installation of the items.
It was just little things like that.
I've been busy lately, but I haven't uploaded any photos of this project even though it was completed last year.
Designed at Kobunaki Eco Village in Omihachiman, Shiga Prefecture
Photos of the Minergie P eco-house have been uploaded.

I think it was about four years ago that I first introduced this house on my blog.
As I have written before, a completely new construction method has been developed by a Swiss venture company.
Dr. York from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, the highest educational institution in Europe, and Dr. Ando from the University of Tokyo's
With their cooperation, we were in charge of planning and detailed design.
I can't think of anywhere else in the world where so many groups and people have been involved in a project for a house of just 100m2.
I don't think that's the case.
As we progressed with this project, we were hit with a variety of problems one after another.
Rather than "ups and downs," it felt more appropriate to say "several ups and downs."
The Minergie standard is a Swiss energy conservation standard.
If a P is added, the envelope performance is equivalent to the German passive standard, which is a stricter standard.
The final "eco" certification places strict restrictions on the use of chemicals, etc.
So, the Minergy P Eco certification is probably the most important in the world right now.
This seems to be a strict standard.
However, this certification has not yet been granted!
In Europe, as in the case of the German Passive House certification,
It is possible to receive certification even after these certifications have been established.
The review is still ongoing at present.
It is very unfortunate, but the president of the venture company that developed this method
came to check the site just after it was completed, despite his illness.
He passed away shortly afterwards.
I am so grateful to have been able to complete this extremely difficult project in my lifetime.
His wife told him that it was very rewarding for him.
I heard it through a message.
This house was designed by a giant in the field of environmental conservation and energy conservation, who recently visited Japan.
Dr. Amory Lovins also came to visit.
I also wanted to go and meet him, but I was in Europe.
I just couldn't meet you.
Also, if there is an opportunity to introduce this house somewhere,
I think so. First of all, I'd like to show you the photos first.
