Homes that create happiness and joy

We at Sekisui House believe it is the mission of homebuilders to continuously improve quality in the pursuit of higher levels of safety and comfort, and as such, conduct R&D on both the technical and lifestyle design aspects of homebuilding.
Since 1990, our Comprehensive Housing R&D Institute has been researching the most advanced construction methods and technologies and developing and testing new building materials and have been used to create greater homes and living environments for our customers.
In 2018, we established the Human Life R&D Institute - the first institution in Japan to be set up by a company with the specific aim of studying the science of happiness.
The Institute researches the different forms of and the creation of happiness by houses from a scientific and theoretical viewpoint, catering to the diversifying values of society.

Houses that retain value over time

Life-cycle cost refers to the total costs related to a house, including the cost of manufacturing the materials, construction, as well as the cost of demolition and disposal.
The initial costs such as construction costs are visible, but it is hard to visualize the daily running costs and maintenance costs, such as utilities, repair and maintenance costs.
Sekisui House has achieved low life-cycle cost by building houses that are of high quality and high function, with superior earthquake resistance, durability and energy-efficiency.
Together with comfort and safety, we also strive to provide houses with long-lasting asset value.

Sekisui House’s track record in ZEH (Net Zero Energy Houses)

ZEH refers to houses that combine energy-saving and energy generating technologies while maintaining a comfortable life, leading to net-zero consumption of primary energy.
Each zero-energy home saves around 3 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year.
In 2022, 93% of our newly built detached singe family homes were zero energy homes – beating the previous record - and we have now built 76,509 zero energy homes (as of the end of March 2023).
