    http://www.kankyo.metro.tokyo.jp/en/index.html Introduction In the year 2000, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG) replaced the Tokyo Metropolitan Pollution Prevention Ordinance with the Tokyo Metropolitan Environmental Security Ordinance, which covers countermeasures for vehicle pollution, chemical substances and climate change. The reason for the replacement was a shift in Tokyo’s environmental problems from industrial pollution mainly attributable to factories to urban and domestic pollution due to vehicle emissions and chemical substances, which may sometimes be related to climate change problems. In 2002, we started two programmes on which Tokyo’s present climate change strategy has been based: Tokyo Green Building Program for new buildings and Tokyo Carbon Reduction Reporting Program for existing large facilities. Since 2005, we have been promoting environmentally superior developments by introducing a mechanism to evaluate and disclose facilities’ efforts made in the programmes. In Tokyo’s Big Change - The 10-Year Plan developed in 2006, we set a goal of reducing citywide greenhouse gas emissions by 25% below 2000 levels by 2020 to make Tokyo a city with the least environmental impact in the world. Then in 2007, we announced the Tokyo Climate Change Strategy, which clarified our basic attitude toward tackling climate change for the next 10 years. Following a revision of the Tokyo Metropolitan Environmental Security Ordinance in 2008, we launched the Tokyo Cap-and-Trade Program for large facilities, the world’s first urban cap- and-trade scheme that covers office buildings as well, and the Carbon Reduction Reporting Program for small and medium facilities, committed to advancing our climate change strategy ever since then.

  • “Hey, What's the Big Idea!? You Can't Kick Me out Just
    “Hey, what’s the big idea!? You can’t kick me out just like that!” “Of course I can! There’s no place for jobless freeloaders like you here!” “Come on, this is all happening so suddenly. Can’t you give m-” “Ohhhhh, no! Don’t you dare give me that dumbass excuse, you got that!?” As the argument with his landlord reached its crux, Naokuu was flung out of his apartment, past the open door and onto the outdoors walkway on the second floor. His back hit the balcony railing running opposite the side-by-side grouping of doors, making him bounce forward an inch or two as he came to a stop. He let out a pained grunt, slumping down to the walkway floor with his head hanging down. The skies above the rental apartment building in Setagaya were gloomy. Light enough to be seen as mere overcast and not a rainstorm, but gloomy nonetheless. It did nothing to help his current situation, his landlord marching to the door’s edge. He was a man of average size, with a lanky physique bordering on anorexic, with a bloated stomach to boot. His taupe-grey hair was heavily receded, exposing his forehead and the front third of the top of his head to almost impressive effect, and his mouth was missing some teeth, one on top and two on bottom as far as the incisors were concerned. He stood in the doorway, in a white chest-stained wifebeater whose bottom hem stopped short of his belly button and grey cotton sweatpants with a black drawstring, staring down at Naokuu with hands on his hips and a cock-eyed glare.

  • The 9Th International Symposium on Automation and Robotics in Construction June 3-5,1992 Tokyo, Japan
    The 9th International Symposium on Automation and Robotics in Construction June 3-5,1992 Tokyo, Japan Direction-Controlled Lifting System Masahiro Nishimura Construction Technology Development Department Taisei Corporation 3-25-1 Hyakunin-cho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, Japan Shigeyuki Yamashita Engineering Department TOKIMEC Engineering Inc 2-16-46 Minami-Kamata, Ota-ku Tokyo Japan Norimitsu Yoshihama Yokohama Landmark Tower Building Project Site Office, Yokohama Branch, Taisei Corporation 3-2-1 Minatomirai, Nishi-ku, Yokohama, Japan ABSTRACT In the construction of a high-rise building, structural members can be turned by the wind during lifting, making installation work more difficult and reducing productivity. This paper describes a system for the control of rotation around the vertical axis during the lifting of members. The system consists of three major units; a sensing unit, an operation unit, and an actuating unit. The operation unit incorporates a rate gyro, which keeps track of the lifted members in initial direction. It controls the actuating unit, which consists of a pair of blowers that stabilize orientation during lifting. Although this system contributes greatly to safety and work efficiency when used alone, it will also be an extremely useful sub-system in the future total automation of construction. 1. INTRODUCTION In the construction of a super-high-rise building, it is generally the case that the more stories to be constructed, the greater the number of working days lost due to inclement weather. The major causes of this loss are rainfall and strong winds. While some days on which work must be halted occur even in the construction of lower stories regardless of the height, days lost to strong winds occur more frequently as the working height increases.

Issuer Rating: AA, Affirmed Rating Outlook: Stable RATIONALE: Nippon Building Fund Inc. (NBF) is a real estate investment trust that was listed in 2001. NBF specializes in investing in office buildings, and its main sponsor is Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd. The REIT has created a quality portfolio by investing in highly competitive large-scale buildings located mainly in central Tokyo. NBF obtained good properties of high rarity such as Shinjuku Mitsui Building and GranTokyo South Tower for a total of about 270 billion yen in the last year, achieving significant external growth. With an asset size of approximately 1,360 billion yen, NBF has established one of the most robust business bases in the J-REIT industry. It has been working on the portfolio improvement by replacing assets through, for instance, the selling of a property with an unrealized loss on advantageous terms. Shinjuku Mitsui Building is a well-known skyscraper in the Nishi-Shinjuku area and has been maintaining its competitive edge despite its old age, backed by a large amount of additional investments and good management by the sponsor, Mitsui Fudosan. The building will still be managed by the master lessee Mitsui Fudosan going forward. The average occupancy rate during the six months ended December 2020 was considerably high at 98.8%. Given that, however, several major tenants will move out in 2021, the average occupancy rate is expected to decline slightly to 97.5%.
