Futako Tamagawa Rise, which has acquired LEED ND Gold certification in the Town Development category, was received The Grand Prize for 25th Global Environment Award for its environmentally-friendly urban development.

In April 2016, we were received The Grand Prize for 25th Global Environment Award (sponsored by the Fuji Sankei Group) for the first time, in recognition of our city's urban development in harmony with the environment, including ecosystem conservation, at Futako Tamagawa Rise, which opened for business in July 2015.

We participated as a member of the redevelopment association to realize Futako Tamagawa Rise, an urban redevelopment project located in front of Futako-tamagawa Station. We worked with Setagaya Ward, Tokyu Land Corporation, and other landowners to achieve urban development that coexists in harmony with the rich natural environment and that features abundant water, greenery, and light.

The development has been comprehensively evaluated and is the world's first city to receive LEED ND (Urban Development category) Gold certification for its achievement of a high-density, compact, multi-functional city by integrating commercial, office, public, and residential facilities, and for preserving the ecosystem by recreating the original landscape of the Tama River.

People were not the only ones waiting for the completion of this town.

Futako-tamagawa is a neighborhood with rare charm in Tokyo and one that combines the city and nature. Futako Tamagawa Rise, a redevelopment project realized with the participation of Tokyu Corporation, has become the first project in Japan to receive preliminary Gold certification in the Urban Development category of LEED, a global environmental certification system. A rooftop garden has been created to serve as a link between the ecosystems of the Tama River and the Kokubunji cliff line and to allow people to interact with rich natural flora and fauna while in the city. Sustainable urban development that eliminates energy and resource waste and embraces barrier-free and universal design considered from the perspective of those who enjoy walking, will realize one urban living ideal to help create a positive future for both people and the environment.

We are promoting energy conservation by proactively using LEDs.

On the Tokyu Lines, we are promoting energy conservation by using LEDs in stations, signals, tunnels, and other areas. Brighter lights will also improve safety and comfort.

・LED lighting at stations

We are promoting the use of LED lighting at all stations by systematically upgrading the lighting equipment. We are aiming to convert all stations to LED lighting as soon as possible. We are also promoting the use of natural light and turning off lights in bright areas.

・LED destination indicators

LED destination indicators have been installed at all stations.

＊Some stations are equipped with LED destination indicators, which are more energy-efficient.

・Use of LEDs for signals

We are promoting the use of LEDs for signals, crossing warning lights, level-crossing-action-response lights,^＊1 auxiliary lights,^＊2 and hand signal substitutes. LED lighting at level crossings has been completed on the entirety of the Setagaya Line.

＊1 Lights that indicate to the driver that a level crossing is normally closed.

＊2 Lights that indicate the opposite of the level-crossing-operation-action-response lights.

・LED lighting in tunnels

LED lighting has been installed in the tunnels between Shibuya and Daikan-yama, Shibuya and Futako-tamagawa, Senzoku and Ookayama, Okusawa and Tamagawa, and Tamagawa and Numabe.
