Nikken Sekkei Unveils Its Smart Building Technologies All at Once
First-Time Exhibition at the 8th Smart Building EXPO
Visitors can experience digital solutions designed to decarbonize office buildings, promote post-pandemic work styles and communication, and streamline facility operations while reducing staffing requirements. The event will be held from Wednesday, December 13, 2023, to Friday, December 15, 2023, at Tokyo Big Sight.

Nikken Sekkei Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President & President and CEO: Atsushi Omatsu) will be exhibiting for the first time at "Smart Building EXPO," a specialized exhibition for smart buildings, to be held at Tokyo Big Sight from Wednesday, December 13th to Friday, December 15th, 2023, and will be showcasing a wide range of related technologies. On Friday, December 15th, the third day of the event, Riji Oura, Consultant at the Digital Solutions Lab, will give a lecture entitled "Asapp, an environmental action app: A new relationship between people and buildings for decarbonization." We invite you to visit us and experience the world of smart buildings in the near future.

Nikken Sekkei has been developing smart building solutions that leverage digital technologies—such as IoT, AI, cloud computing, and MR—to address social challenges including decarbonization, promoting post-pandemic work styles and communication, and improving the efficiency and labor-saving aspects of facility operations.These include “Asapp,” an app that visualizes the CO₂ emissions and reduction amounts of individual office workers to encourage environmentally conscious behavior; the “Sensor and Facility Control Network System,” which integrates information on people and buildings onto a single cloud platform to control building systems;“Cyber Physical Workplace,” which aims to alleviate the loneliness associated with remote work and the lack of spontaneous communication; “3D-LiDAR-Based People Flow Measurement,” which measures foot traffic in real time and applies the data to evaluate urban and architectural spaces;“Smart Operation Building,” which aims to reduce the administrative burden of building operations by 70 percent; the BIM-based sensor dashboard “4D-DASH”; and “IWMS (Integrated Workplace Management System),” which integrates workplace data—the range of offerings is extensive.
As a professional services firm specializing in architectural design and supervision as well as urban design, we leverage our strengths—including deep expertise in architectural and urban systems and the technical implementation process—along with our vendor-neutral, independent stance to provide smart building consulting services that combine the most suitable digital technologies.Through our debut exhibition at this event, we will showcase the latest results from various pilot projects and aim to expand our network of collaborative partners who are committed to implementing these solutions in specific buildings and cities.

Nikken Sekkei’s Digital Solutions Lab aims to “deliver new value to clients” by leveraging digital technologies such as IoT, AI, cloud computing, and MR in the areas of Smart Workplace, Smart Building, and Smart City.From vision development to solution selection, project management, and KPI analysis, the lab provides consulting services that address clients’ challenges related to building digital transformation (DX).

Nikken Sekkei is a professional services firm engaged in architectural and civil engineering design and supervision, urban design, and related survey, planning, and consulting services.For 120 years since our founding in 1900, we have been committed to creating value through “Social and Environmental Design,” which seeks solutions to both apparent and latent social issues, in order to meet the needs of society and the diverse requests of our clients.To date, we have been involved in a wide range of projects in Japan, China, ASEAN, and the Middle East, and in recent years, we have expanded our operations to India and Europe. In March 2021, we issued a “Climate Emergency Declaration” as part of our efforts toward a decarbonized society.

*1 MR (Mixed Reality): A general term for a broad range of technologies that fuse the physical world with the digital world, such as VR (Virtual Reality), which provides an immersive experience in a digital environment, and AR (Augmented Reality), which overlays digital information onto the physical world.
*2 LiDAR (short for Light Detection and Ranging): A technology that measures the distance to an object by emitting a laser beam and measuring the time it takes for the beam to bounce back after hitting the object. With 3D-LiDAR, 3D point cloud data is obtained through three-dimensional distance measurements.
*3 BIM (Building Information Modeling): A system for constructing building information models that combine primarily three-dimensional geometric data created on a computer with attribute information about the building, such as room names and areas, material and component specifications and performance, and finishes.
