Services · Three Ways to Begin

Three services, each one complete in itself

Whether you'd like a clearer picture of your energy use, help thinking through a renovation, or support setting up more sustainable daily routines — there's a service designed for where you are right now.

How these services work

Each service has a clear scope and a clear deliverable

The three services we offer are designed to address different stages of a household's thinking about sustainable living. Some clients begin with the energy assessment because they want a picture before committing to anything. Others come directly to renovation planning because they're already preparing for a build. A few need help with the practical side — setting up routines that actually work.

None of the services requires you to take another one afterward. Each ends with documentation you can use independently. If you want to continue, you can. If the one service gives you what you needed, that's the right outcome. The pricing for each is set accordingly — you're not paying a deposit toward something larger.

Service 01

Home Energy Assessment Consultation

¥22,500

A measured walk-through of how your household uses energy across a typical week, with notes on seasonal patterns common to Japanese homes. The session is suitable for homeowners and long-term renters who would like a clearer picture before making changes.

Duration is two hours on-site followed by a written summary delivered within five business days. The summary outlines observed usage, gentle suggestions for adjustments to insulation, hot water, and appliance habits, and a short reference list of regional rebate programmes. No follow-up commitment is implied.

What's included

  • Two-hour on-site visit
  • Written summary delivered within five business days
  • Seasonal pattern notes relevant to your region
  • Reference list of applicable regional rebate programmes
  • Suggestions covering insulation, hot water, and appliance habits

Service 02

Eco-Conscious Renovation Planning

¥44,000

Together we review the existing structure, discuss intentions for the space, and assemble a proposal covering material options, contractor coordination notes, and a phased timeline.

What's included

  • Four working sessions over approximately six weeks
  • Documentation provided after each stage
  • Material options review with lifecycle considerations
  • Contractor coordination notes for use in briefing
  • Phased timeline aligned to Japanese building traditions

Service 03

Household Sustainability System Setup

¥33,000

An on-site service that helps households configure a coordinated approach to water, waste sorting, and energy monitoring tools already available in Japan. We focus on selecting modest, durable equipment and arranging it so daily routines stay simple.

The package includes a planning conversation, two installation visits, and a thirty-day check-in. Suitable for couples and families settling into a new home or refreshing an older one. Documentation is provided in plain language for reference.

What's included

  • Initial planning conversation
  • Two on-site installation visits
