About the Report 

Japan has made two international commitments to address global climate change: to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 46% until FY2030 and to become carbon neutral by 2050. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to promote energy efficiency and CO₂ reduction in the housing sector, as it is estimated to be responsible for 30% of all CO₂ emissions in Japan.

In this report, eco-housing is defined as residential buildings that focus on reducing energy consumption and increasing energy efficiency to achieve sustainability. Renewable energy integration systems, Net Zero Energy Houses (ZEH), efficient ventilation systems, and Home Energy Management Systems (HEMS) can achieve this. The use of sustainable and eco-friendly building materials also contributes to enhancing energy efficiency and promoting sustainability.

This report is aimed at small and medium-sized companies in Europe that offer innovative technology in the eco-housing sector and plan to enter the Japanese market. It provides a comprehensive overview of the Japanese eco-housing market, including current trends, key players, distribution channels, and potential opportunities and challenges for European companies.
