Aera Home Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and Representative Director: Hideyuki Nakajima) announced on March 25th that its housing model "Presto" has been awarded the Excellence Award in the "House of the Year" 2025, an award program by the General Incorporated Association Japan Center for Regional Development that recognizes energy-efficient homes. This marks the 13th consecutive year Aera Home has received this honor.

・ What is the "House of the Year" Award System?

The "House of the Year" is a system that aims to contribute to the reduction of environmental impact through further energy conservation and the realization of comfortable living by recognizing homes with excellent overall energy-saving performance, considering the building structure and energy equipment as a set.

・ About "Presto"

"Presto" is a highly airtight, highly insulated, and highly heat-shielding home that achieves approximately 40% reduction in heating and cooling costs and approximately 57% reduction in CO2 emissions (equivalent to the CO2 absorbed by 91 cedar trees annually *1) compared to homes built to the 1992 Energy Conservation Standards. It employs an external double-layer insulation method, which includes external insulation wrapping the entire house, including the roof, with "Q-One Board," a heat-shielding insulation material with an aluminum foil surface, and internal insulation using "high-performance glass wool" within the walls. Furthermore, it incorporates energy-saving features in various equipment as standard, such as "Low-E double-glazed windows" and "aluminum-resin composite sashes," thereby achieving energy conservation throughout the entire house and reducing environmental impact.
