Significant players in the green buildings segment of the multifamily housing sector are pioneering advanced solutions such as green transformation (GX) which enhances sustainability, energy effectiveness, and ecological performance in residential complexes. GX refers to the implementation of sustainable systems, cutting-edge technology, and eco-friendly innovations to minimize the environmental footprint whilst promoting energy savings. For example, in September 2024, the multinational conglomerate from Japan, Hitachi Ltd., introduced a new BuilMirai Building IoT solution model. This model is a holistic platform designed to boost both management and operational efficiency across small to medium-sized buildings. It particularly promotes green construction practices, aligning with the global shifts towards construction and management sustainability. Hitachi Ltd. will make these solutions conveniently available to customers through monthly subscription plans so they can select the services they need, thereby reducing their capital expenditures while accelerating both green transformation (GX) and digital transformation (DX) for small to medium-structured buildings. BuilMirai links various building services and systems together, thus enabling enhanced management and operational efficiency.
