LIVING TECH Association General Incorporated Association LIVING TECH Association (Headquarters: Shibuya, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Tomohiro Yamashita, Misako Furuya, English notation: LIVING TECH ASSOCIATION, JAPAN, hereinafter LIVING TECH Association) aims to promote the spread of smart homes. As the first demonstration project, the smart home package option of "HOME i LAND (hereinafter: HiL, reading: Hail)", a housing kit sales platform for builders built by the World Housing Club, which is scheduled to be provided from the beginning of October 2021. I supervised it. By utilizing this service, builders such as construction companies nationwide who are members of HiL will be able to more easily propose and provide smart homes to customers. In addition, as a model house where you can actually see the above smart home package, we provided planning supervision and design support for the smart home of "Mazuru no Ie", which is equipped with a smart home in collaboration with YKK AP and the World Housing Club as standard. rice field. "Manazuru no Ie" will be released on Thursday, September 2, 2021, with a 3D virtual preview on the LIVING TECH Association page and a video introducing "Manazuru no Ie" on the HiL official page. You can see it. Furthermore, this initiative is also a demonstration project involving users. According to a survey (* 1) by the Association, it was found that more than half of smart home appliance owners experience smart home appliances before purchasing. With the cooperation of our media partners "RoomClip" and "@DIME", we will have a user monitor experience at a model house and send out the voices experienced by users who have not experienced smart homes, so that more people will be smart. We would like to take this opportunity to let you know the possibilities of homes. The "Mazuru no Ie" and "Mazuru no Ie" projects, which propose "Well-being with smart homes," started in 2020 as a concept model that embodies an ideal home with partners who have specialized knowledge in each field. , We have been studying methods and plans to solve the problems of the construction industry and consumers. Through this demonstration project, we will promote the value of "Trial with users and build a network that contributes to the realization of Society 5.0 by socially implementing technology", which has been a value since the establishment of the LIVING TECH Association, and provide housing. We will also lower the hurdles for smart homes for builders and provide customers with opportunities to make proposals. Background of the development of "Manazuru no Ie": The need for housing has changed drastically due to the Korona-ka. The words "home camp" and "home cafe" have also been coined, and we are seeing ways to create fun in our homes. On the other hand, many issues were recognized because the family is closer than ever, such as the difficulty of switching on and off due to the penetration of remote work, the sound of video conferences, and privacy issues. This time, the LIVING TECH Association proposes "realization of well-being through smart homes" through "Manazuru no Ie". In addition to strengthening hygiene such as a hand-washing area at the entrance that disinfects bacteria and air conditioning for disinfection, we have created a workspace and network environment that realizes comfortable remote work, and by making the entire house a smart home, it is attracting attention as a new lifestyle. We support the suburban residence that has been done. Smart homes not only improve the convenience of daily life and housework, but also reduce the anxiety and inconvenience of management unique to the second house, but Manazuru's house has a richer life beyond convenience. There are many ideas that you can feel. By linking home appliances, I think it is possible to enjoy movies and music in conjunction with lighting, and to free yourself from the chores and create time to take good care of your family and yourself. Smart homes support a variety of lifestyles and contribute to the realization of Wel I-Being. We propose the possibility of smart homes through "Manazuru no Ie". Overview of "Manazuru House" and "Smart Home Package": HiL, which we collaborated with this time, is a platform for selling planned housing kits on a nationwide network. By registering the design proposal of a high-performance house as a packaged housing kit on the HiL site, builder members nationwide can utilize the design proposal and sell and construct it as their own brand. YKK AP's planning and planning embodies one of the living spaces suitable for the present era, taking into account various lifestyles and social issues that have been attracting attention in recent years, such as integrated work and housing, strengthening hygiene, living in the suburbs, and lack of craftsmen. To that end, we built a model house in Manazuru, which is accessible to Tokyo in about 90 minutes. The LIVING TECH Association supervised smart home packages for all HiL housing kits in the wake of this project. The smart home package is an optional smart home package that supports all HiL housing kits, and is a service that designs and installs suitable for smart homes. Sales are scheduled to begin in early October 2021 for HiL affiliated construction companies. Included in this package are (1) three types of smart home device packages (lighting + home appliance control set, lighting control set, home appliance control set), (2) smart home specification design specifications, (3) device setting service (optional), and (4) smart. Home concierge (optional). Not only the design know-how necessary to realize a smart home, but also the concierge that installs equipment and makes proposals tailored to the customer is packaged, so even builders who do not have knowledge of smart homes and smart home appliances are safe. You can make suggestions to our customers with all your heart. Comments from each company Mr. Katsunori Higashi, General Manager, Business Development Section, YKK AP Inc.
