Enhancement of Industry Initiative Through the Zero-Energy Mass Custom Home Mission to Japan Experience Towards Commercialisation
106 Int. J. Mass Customisation, Vol. 4, Nos. 1/2, 2011 Enhancement of industry initiative through the Zero-energy Mass Custom Home Mission to Japan experience towards commercialisation Masa Noguchi MEARU, Mackintosh School of Architecture, The Glasgow School of Art, 167 Renfrew Street, Glasgow G3 6RQ, UK E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: In response to growing global warming issues and increasing energy prices, house-builders today are becoming keener on the delivery of zero energy sustainable homes than ever. Nevertheless, their business operation still tends to develop into routine in view of their close system mode of operation. In 2006, to stimulate the industry, knowledge transfer study visits to Japanese net zero energy cost mass custom housing manufacturers were initiated. The educational event was later called ‘Zero-energy Mass Custom Home Mission to Japan’ and was resumed in 2007, 2008 and 2010. Consequently, three industry participants were transformed successfully from conventional housing suppliers to early adopters of net zero energy/carbon-emission homebuilders in their local contexts. This study demonstrates the gravity of the mission’s execution that was aimed at putting the theory of organisational buying behaviour into practice in order to develop a way to change the nature of the homebuilding industry towards the delivery of zero energy mass custom homes of the future. Keywords: ZEMCH network; Zero-energy Mass Custom Homes; zero carbon emission homes; prefabrication; mass custom design; industry education; sustainable housing development; awareness enhancement; commercialisation; Japan. Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Noguchi, M.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Toyota Tsusho Corporation Reports
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Toyota Tsusho Corporation Reports Earnings for the Nine Months Ended December 31, 2016 Nagoya, Japan; February 2, 2017 — Toyota Tsusho Corporation (TSE: 8015) reported consolidated net sales of 5,810.338 billion yen and profit attributable to owners of the parent of 63.521billion yen, or 180.52 yen per share, for the nine months ended December 31, 2016. Consolidated Results of Operations In the first nine months of the fiscal year (April 1, 2016 – December 31, 2016), overall global economic growth picked up as the emerging market economic slowdown came to a halt while the U.S. and European economies held firm. The U.S. economic recovery remained intact, fueled by robust personal consumption, improvement in the employment and income environments, and dollar appreciation and equity market gains driven by optimism about the Trump Administration’s fiscal policies. The European economy gradually recovered by virtue of solid domestic demand and improvement in the employment environment despite uncertainty stemming from the UK's impending exit from the EU. The Chinese economy remained sluggish. While it was bolstered by a robust service sector and consumer spending on homes, autos and other goods in response to government policies, the Chinese economy was weighed down by efforts to reduce excess production capacity. Emerging market economies’ slowdown tapered off as resource prices stabilized. Against such a backdrop, the Japanese economy recovered slowly, driven largely by buoyant housing investment and growth in exports to Europe, the Americas and Asia. Amid such an environment, the Toyota Tsusho Group's consolidated net sales for the nine months ended December 31 decreased 450.5 billion yen (7.2%) year on year to 5,810.3 billion yen, largely as a result of yen appreciation.
