Three Unique Technologies

PanaHome makes proposals for long-lasting, comfortable houses that can be passed down to successive generations while minimizing their impact on the environment. We will deliver highly reliable products and services by using the three unique technologies that we have developed to take one more step forward to ensure eco-friendliness as well as by utilizing our high-standard development and production systems.

Outstanding steel-framed earthquake-resistant structures

PanaHome homes feature a proprietary earthquake-resistant steel-framed structure.
As a result, they are able to withstand sizeable earthquakes and recurring tremors.
The durability of PanaHome' s houses has been verified through rigorous vibration testing, repeated 140 times, in which houses are subjected to seismic intensity approximately 4.3 times the intensity of the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake of 1995 and 1.8 times the recent Great East Japan Earthquake. (Testing was conducted on CASART homes in June 2011.) Our steelframed structure also accommodates future remodeling and ensures long-term security and comfort.


A commitment to clean air

Our original integrated hybrid ventilation system combines mechanical and natural ventilation. The system supplies cool fresh air under the floorboards in summer and warm fresh air in winter, thereby keeping the occupants comfortable and helping to conserve energy. Additionally, the use of diatomite from Wakkanai, in Hokkaido, in building materials ensures excellent regulation of humidity. Rigorous steps have also been taken to minimize emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).


Photocatalytic tiles keep exterior walls clean

KIRATECH tile exterior walls employ advanced photocatalytic technology, which allows them to self-clean when exposed to sun or rain, meaning they remain clean long term. Because they are virtually maintenancefree, these walls contribute to significant savings in terms of both cost and resources.
They also break down hazardous atmospheric pollutants, including nitrogen oxide (NOx), and purify the surrounding air.


PanaHome houses can achieve the highest grade in the environmental efficiency assessment conducted by the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism assesses the environmental efficiency of newly built houses using the Comprehensive Assessment System for Building Environmental Efficiency (CASBEE).
PanaHome houses received an A ranking in this publicly recognized environmental efficiency assessment.
Subject to applying special considerations for exterior structures and landscaping, and introducing energy-saving household appliances and equipment, our houses will achieve the highest S ranking.
We will provide even more comfortable and environmentally friendly houses.
