We humans have lived in pursuit of richness ever since our history began on this planet.
After we stopped hunting and gathering,
we began agriculture and livestock farming.
As we all gathered to live together,
society and architecture were born.
The Industrial Revolution resulted from industrial developments.
Once we had access to energy,
we built cities and achieved the richness
we enjoy today.
We may have forgotten something during
the process.
Global CO2 concentrations continue to rise.
If we let this continue, we may soon exceed the limits at which climate change will threaten our way of life.
In the past, we took what we needed from nature as much as necessary,
circulated it,
and lived in harmony with it.
We are proposing "new richness" to reduce CO2
in the atmosphere by reconsidering our way of life and integrating it with today’s advanced technologies and philosophies.

We Japanese are blessed with a beautiful
Japanese language.
To achieve “new richness”,
we will promote our corporate activities based on
the following five “words”.
We establish systems in which each employee's actions lead to
reducing CO2 emissions.
We, as a good partner, create cities and architecture that are considerate of nature and living creatures around us.
We aim to create beautiful architecture that brings happiness to people and that people cherish forever.
We aim to create long-lasting architecture that people can use for a long time.
We create architecture based on resilient and advanced technology,
which serves as a stronghold for the people.
Our activities are not limited to designing
buildings that reduce CO2 emissions.
We also propose new lifestyles and work styles
and continue to meet the challenge of realizing
new richness.
As a leader toward carbon neutrality,
Kume Sekkei will disclose Scope 1 through 3 and work to reduce CO2 emissions of the entire Kume Sekkei Group, including the head office and branch offices, by 50% by 2030 and achieve
carbon neutrality by 2050.
As a partner who works closer to our clients and produces results than anyone else, we analyze building uses and various other conditions to achieve carbon neutrality, make feasible proposals that reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions, and create buildings that consider nature and the environment.
We have achieved ZEB Ready in medical facilities where ZEB* is considered difficult to achieve.
*ZEB: Zero Energy Building
Kume Sekkei creates architecture by combining technology and beautiful spaces our clients cherish.
We aim to create eco-friendly architecture that coexists with and makes the best use of nature while providing a comfortable and enriching environment for workers and visitors alike.
Professionals in all fields support the creation of buildings that will be used for a long time.
We share the client’s viewpoints, propose architectural forms and building equipment technologies necessary to achieve their goals from various angles, and verify the WLCA.
We establish a commissioning (performance verification) system to improve and maintain the building’s performance after the start of operation.
Kume Sekkei will continue to evolve as a leading architectural design firm for carbon neutrality.
We constantly strive to develop new, necessary design methods and technologies through exchanges with academic experts from national and international scholarly societies and organizations and collaborations with many companies.
Our achievements have received national and international acclaim, including the Overall Engineering Award of Excellence from ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers).
