Aera Home's "Presto" Wins Excellence Award at "House of the Year 2025," Marking 13 Consecutive Years of Recognition

On March 25, Aera Home Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Hideyuki Nakajima) announced that its "Presto" model received the Excellence Award at the "House of the Year 2025," an awards program organized by the Japan Center for Area Development Research that recognizes homes with superior energy-saving performance. This marks the company's 13th consecutive year of receiving this award. * About the "House of the Year" Award System The "House of the Year" is a system that evaluates building structures and energy equipment as a set to recognize homes with excellent total energy-saving performance. It aims to contribute to the promotion of environmental load reduction through further energy conservation and the realization of comfortable living spaces. * "Presto" "Presto" is a high-airtight, high-insulation, and high-heat-shielding home. It employs an external double-insulation construction method that wraps the entire house—including the roof—in "Q1 Board," an aluminum foil-faced heat-shielding insulation material, while also filling the interior of the walls with "high-performance glass wool." Compared to homes built to the 1992 energy-saving standards, it reduces heating and cooling costs by approximately 40% and CO2 emissions by approximately 57% (equivalent to the amount of CO2 absorbed by 91 cedar trees per year*1). By adopting energy-efficient equipment as standard, such as "Low-E double-glazed glass" and "aluminum-resin composite sashes," the home achieves energy savings throughout the entire structure, thereby reducing its environmental impact.
