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.

March 30, 2005 Osaka Gas Co., Ltd. Osaka Gas Chemicals Co., Ltd
March 30, 2005 Osaka Gas Co., Ltd. Osaka Gas Chemicals Co., Ltd. Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited Osaka Gas to Acquire Life-Environment Business of Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Osaka, Japan, March 30, 2005 --- Osaka Gas Co., Ltd. (“Osaka Gas”, President: Hirofumi Shibano) and Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (“Takeda”, President: Yasuchika Hasegawa) jointly announced today the transfer of shares of Takeda’s five subsidiaries and affiliates engaged in life-environmental business to Osaka Gas Chemicals Co., Ltd. (“Osaka Gas Chemicals”, President: Mitsuo Endo), a subsidiary of Osaka Gas. Such five companies include Japan EnviroChemicals, Ltd. (“Japan EnviroChemicals” President: Atsuo Kobayashi), a wholly owned subsidiary of Takeda. Osaka Gas is committed to increase its corporate value by enhancing the non-energy businesses expected to grow in the future. As one of such efforts, Osaka Gas Chemicals aims to expand its carbon-based business such as activated carbon, electrode materials and fine materials, all of which are based on the technologies accumulated during the time when coal was the main resource for Osaka Gas’s gas production. Takeda is aiming to become an R&D oriented, world-class pharmaceutical company, and to that effect, it has been promoting independence of its non-pharmaceutical businesses in order to concentrate management resources into pharmaceutical business. As one of its movements, the life-environmental business of Takeda became an independent subsidiary, Japan EnviroChemicals in April 2003 as first step, and Takeda has been seeking the optimal business model to find Osaka Gas Chemicals as the most appropriate partner to which the business will be transferred as announced today.
