Renovated Chiba Store as ZEB

The Home Center Chiba Store completed its renovation and reopened on April 23, 2018. The store received a support grant from the fiscal 2017 ZEB Demonstration Project, aimed at promoting energy conservation investment by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. Actual energy consumption recorded in the 1st-year verification was found to be 67.5% less than a standard building and 15% down from the ZEB design value, meaning that the store achieved its targets.

A solar power generation system and storage batteries for in-house consumption were installed on the roof of the Mizuho store.
