Entetsu Railway Co., Ltd. (HQ: Asahi-cho, Chuo-ku, Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka; President: Koji Maruyama) will open the 'Entetsu Home Sumai no Taikenkan' (Home Experience Pavilion) on May 30 (Sat), a facility where customers can actually 'experience' the performance and livability of the company’s custom homes.
In recent years, the performance requirements customers expect from housing have become more sophisticated. There is growing interest in high insulation and energy efficiency due to rising global temperatures and electricity costs, in addition to high seismic resistance. Furthermore, with the increase in natural disasters, there is an rising demand for resilience features, such as solar power generation and battery storage, to ensure residents can continue their daily lives safely during power outages. However, traditional model houses, which focus mainly on floor plans, designs, and catalog presentations via the internet, have had the challenge of not being able to fully allow customers to feel or understand these technical performances.
This facility offers various experiential content, including comparative exhibits to feel the temperature difference based on insulation grades, earthquake simulators that replicate building vibrations by construction method, and IoT experiences to remotely control housing equipment and appliances via smartphones and tablets. It also showcases Entetsu Home's construction history, feedback from homeowners, and renovation products, catering to a wide range of needs from new construction to remodeling.
Furthermore, the facility is equipped with a disaster prevention well, Starlink satellite communication, solar power and battery storage, and a stove bench, making it functional as a local community hub during disasters.
Moving forward, the company aims to help customers better understand the quality and peace of mind of its homes through this facility and will continue to promote housing construction deeply rooted in the local community.
