Last Updated November 18, 2024
About the start of electronic application of low-carbon building completion report
About "report that construction of building based on plan such as low-carbon building new construction was completed", we start electronic application acceptance by "Yokohama-shi electronic application, report system".
For more information, please refer to the following link.
About revision of low-carbon building certification system (enforced on October 1, 2022)
On October 1, 2022, the enforcement regulations on the promotion of low-carbon cities were partially revised, and the certification standards were revised.
If you apply for certification to Yokohama City after October 1, 2022, the new standard will be applied.

The "Law Concerning the Promotion of Low-Carbon Urbanization" was promulgated in September 2012 and came into effect on December 4, 2012.
Under this law, we will reduce energy consumption in urban areas (low carbon) and promote global warming countermeasures by implementing various measures such as centralizing urban functions and promoting the use of public transportation. . As one of these measures, there is a certification of the "Low Carbon Building New Construction Plan", which meets the prescribed standards when performing new construction, extension, or other renovation work of buildings that contribute to low-carbon buildings. The competent administrative agency approves the plan that conforms to it. Buildings that have been certified under the plan can receive preferential tax treatment and relaxation of floor area ratio as "low-carbon buildings".

[Supplements] Relationship with "Low Carbon Town Development Plan"
Article 7 of the Act on Promotion of Low-Carbon Cities in the City stipulates that municipalities can create a "low-carbon town development plan", but there is no area in Yokohama City that has established the plan at this time . However, even in this case, it is possible to apply for certification of a plan such as a new low-carbon building.
Benefits of certification
- Tax incentives apply (reduction of mortgage loans, reduction of registration and license tax)
- Relax floor area ratio under the Building Standards Law for rooms, etc. necessary to make low-carbon buildings
- Reduce energy consumption in buildings, reduce running costs and reduce the burden on the global environment.

It is necessary to apply for certification for low-carbon building new construction plans before starting construction.
The standard application procedure is a procedure for applying to the competent administrative agency after undergoing a technical examination of the certification criteria in advance by a registered energy saving judgment organization or a registered house performance evaluation organization (hereinafter referred to as "examination organization").
In addition, please refer to each examination organization for details as target building to perform technical examination may vary according to examination organization.Registered Energy Conservation Judgment Organization = Registered Building Energy Consumption Performance Judgment Organization prescribed in the Act on Improvement of Energy Consumption Performance of Buildings
Registered house performance evaluation organization = Registered house performance evaluation organization prescribed in the Act on Promotion of Housing Quality Assurance, etc.
The screening organization can be searched from this website.
