Notice Concerning Obtainment of
Building-HousingEnergy-Efficiency Labeling System (BELS) Certification
LaSalle LOGIPORT REIT ("LLR") announced that some of its properties, LOGIPORT Kitakashiwa, Shinmoriya, Sakai Chikko Shinmachi, Amagasaki, Sakai South, Sakai North and Osaka Bay, have received certification rank from the Building-HousingEnergy-Efficiency Labeling System ("BELS") and LOGIPORT Sakai Chikko Shinmachi, Sakai South, Sakai North and Osaka Bay have also received a ZEB Ready evaluation, as outlined below.
1. Overview about the BELS
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"). The concrete display method is stipulated in the guidelines for energy saving performance display of buildings, BELS is evaluated based on the same guideline, and the evaluation result is represented by a number of stars (one star "★" to five stars "★★★★★").
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, ZEB (energy savings of 100% or more), Nearly ZEB (energy savings of at least 75%), ZEB Ready (energy savings of greater than 50%), and ZEB Oriented (Gross floor area 10,000m 2 or more and energy savings beyond the regulation for each application). It is evaluated in 4 stages.
