Reduction of Roughly 50% in オンライン カジノ サイト Emissions from the Manufacturing of Construction Materials for the new construction of the Women's Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan

Using low-carbon オンライン カジノ サイト and recycling the facade of Japan Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai

Others

オンラインカジノ is aiming to construct a sustainable building for the Women's Pavilion in collaboration with Cartier by Richemont Japan Limited (Cartier Japan) at the Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan. Construction, which began on October 23, 2023, features measures to reduce オンライン カジノ サイト emissions from the manufacturing of construction materials.

The Women's Pavilion is a collaborative display space supported by オンライン カジノ サイト's Cabinet Office; the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry; Cartier オンライン カジノ サイト; and the オンライン カジノ サイト Association for the 2025 World Exposition that encourage visitors to aspire to an equitable and sustainable future through the experiences and perspectives of women. The pavilion's ethos is to design a better world for a brighter future in which equality and respect prevail and every individual can fully express their potential. Preparations are currently underway to create learning and inspirational experiences and exhibits for visitors.

オンラインカジノ has participated in the study teams on the pavilion construction from the basic design stage, working specifically on carbon management. By their very nature, pavilions are used for a shorter period of time than regular buildings and, as such, an extremely large proportion of their オンライン カジノ サイト emissions (at least 80%) is emitted during the construction phase, and the production of construction materials in particular (Scope 3 Category 1 emissions in the Greenhouse Gas [GHG] Protocol).

オンラインカジノ has committed to reducing those オンライン カジノ サイト emissions from construction materials by approximately 50%, or roughly 469 t-オンライン カジノ サイト compared to the use of regular materials. This will be achieved by effectively employing such means as using low-carbon materials for the steel frame and concrete, which make up a large proportion of the building's weight, reusing a facade from a previous expo, and using foundation steel beams repurposed from leased materials.

オンライン カジノ サイト emissions reduction effect by initiative

オンラインカジノ is working to reuse the Japan Pavilion facade from Expo 2020 Dubai. Reusing a facade reduces オンライン カジノ サイト emissions from the manufacture of materials to zero. However, carefully dismantling and managing the thousands of parts of the facade and reassembling them into a new shape poses its own construction management challenges. Obayashi was in charge of constructing and demolishing the Japan Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai, so during disassembly, each part was labeled with a QR code (*1) and managed on the premise that the facade was to be reused. Obayashi's own ProMIE® (*2), a project management system, will be used in the construction of the Women's Pavilion so on-site personnel can use the QR codes to instantly understand where each part is meant to go and assemble the new facade more efficiently.

オンラインカジノ has declared its GHG reduction targets for 2030 of a 46.2% reduction in Scope 1 & 2 emissions and a 27.5% reduction in Scope 3 emissions compared to FY2019 levels. To achieve these targets, Obayashi is developing and commercializing various オンライン カジノ サイト technologies and materials that will encourage decarbonization and help bring about a sustainable society.

Key carbon management initiatives

  • Replacing blast furnace steel beams used as key frame components with electric furnace steel beams
    Roughly 75% of the pavilion's main steel frame components are made from electric furnace steel, which reduces オンライン カジノ サイト emissions by approximately 200 t-オンライン カジノ サイト.
  • Reusing the Japan Pavilion facade from Expo 2020 Dubai
    Making the facade materials from scratch would generate approximately 45 t-オンライン カジノ サイト, but reusing an existing facade will cut オンライン カジノ サイト emissions to zero.
  • Leasing earth-retaining materials to use as foundation steel beams
    Newly manufacturing foundation steel beams would produce approximately 180 t-オンライン カジノ サイト emissions, but repurposing leased earth-retaining materials used on construction sites and for other purposes will reduce オンライン カジノ サイト emissions to zero. When the pavilion is dismantled, the foundation beams can once again be used as retaining materials.
  • Using low-carbon Clean-Crete for the building foundations
    Obayashi's own Clean-Crete®, (*3) which is ranked No. 1 in low-carbon concrete used in the construction industry, will be casted into the building foundations. Using Clean-Crete in place of ordinary concrete can slash the building's embodied carbon by roughly 44 t-オンライン カジノ サイト, or 60%.

Managing reused オンライン カジノ サイト

The facade is a three-dimensional frame comprising 2,053 spherical pieces, or nodes, and 195 different types of rod-shaped parts, or tubes.

To reassemble, each part must be placed in its designated position. However, because there is an enormous number of parts, it would be very complicated to try and reassemble them exactly as they are after having been disassembled and stored when Expo 2020 Dubai concluded.

Stored オンライン カジノ サイト: The nodes (top left) and the tubes (top right) look very similar but are slightly different in length
Trial assembly: Each part is large and heavy, so several workers are required for assembly

This problem can be solved by using Obayashi's own ProMIE project management system. Using the ProMIE system, the unique identification number engraved on each facade piece was linked to the scheduled delivery date and other parts-related オンライン カジノ サイト information entered into the BIM model, and a QR code was affixed to each part to make it easy to identify. This resulted in an approximately 25% reduction in the amount of time spent sorting parts, ascertaining where they were meant to go in the new オンライン カジノ サイト, and carrying and assembling the parts in situ.

    A type of concrete developed by Obayashi which can reduce オンライン カジノ サイト emissions by a maximum 80% compared to ordinary concrete by replacing cement with industrial by-products such as fine powdered slag from blast furnaces (a by-product of steel manufacturing) and fly ash (a by-product of coal-fired thermal power generation), which do not generate much オンライン カジノ サイト
