ZEB certification defines four levels of certification based on the level of achievement of a zero-energy construction. Zero-energy construction aims to reduce the annual primary energy consumption balance required for air conditioning, lighting, etc. to zero by combining energy-saving and energy-creating technologies. Roland DG Corporation has announced that it will relocate and consolidate its headquarters to Miyakoda.
The new building will be ‘Nearly ZEB’ certified, achieving a primary energy consumption reduction of 75%+ through energy conservation (50%+) and energy creation. Roland DG Corporation consolidated its mass production functions to the Thailand plant as of December 2021 to improve production efficiency, and the Miyakoda Plant is now used as a pilot line. To further improve efficiency, the company has decided to relocate the headquarter to integrate the factory and headquarter functions that are currently located at two separate venues in the Miyakoda area in Kita-ku, Hamamatsu. Furthermore, it will newly construct a ‘Nearly ZEB’ certified building in July 2023 as our headquarter, which will reduce energy consumption by 75%.
The new building will provide a space that creates new value by organically combining R&D, administration, and sales functions together in a single office area. All floors will have public areas, interaction areas, and creative areas designed to enable employees to freely change their work environment, generate ideas, and communicate with each other.
Shizuoka Prefecture sets a seismic zone standard that is stricter than the national standard, and the new building to be constructed will be 1.5 times safer than the national standard. The new building will also be equipped with a solar power generation system on the rooftop, automatic lighting control and inverter airflow control for exhaust fans, and a top-class efficiency air conditioning system, all of which are consistent with global efforts to achieve carbon neutrality. The building will provide a comfortable workplace that accommodates a variety of work styles, including a deck terrace taking advantage of its location in front of Miyakoda-sogo Park, cafeteria lounge, training room and showers.
At a time when the role of an office building is rapidly changing due to the pandemic, the design takes into account a hybrid working style between office and telecommuting, considering the ‘way of working’ in the future. The company aim to create an environment that facilitates communication and promotes team building in order to realise its slogan to ‘Inspire the Enjoyment of Creativity’ and spark excitement.
