Social Issues
Around a quarter of Japan’s large buildings were completed before new seismic resistance standards were enacted in 1981. This is especially true among office buildings. The deterioration of large condominiums is becoming an issue of great scrutiny as well. Aging buildings like these have electrical equipment that has also aged commensurately, in some cases with power consumption exceeding more modern buildings. These also often have outdated safety equipment. Maintaining safe and comfortable living environments for people urgently calls for extending the service life of these buildings.
The Unique Fukunishi Value Proposition
Fukunishi Electrical was founded in 1946, not long after the end of World War II, as a trading company dealing solely in lighting equipment. With the postwar evolution of Japanese construction technology, we also evolved, coming to more comprehensively improve the lives of our customers by handling a wide range of products and providing cutting-edge electrical equipment in keeping with the times. The experience and knowledge we have accumulated along this journey are now the tools we use to bring society solutions to help resolve the issues it faces, both now and in the future.
In modern buildings, we can no longer consider electrical equipment in isolation from other elements. Lighting and power distribution, as well as ventilation, air conditioning, and disaster mitigation facilities, are essential to people’s safety. Not only that, but demand is expected to grow for monitoring and control systems in the interest of safe building management.
With Fukunishi Electrical’s pantheon of solutions for longer building service lives, we not only help ensure longer, more sound lifespans for new construction, but also maintain a safe and comfortable environment for residents of older buildings through renovation and upgrade.
