『Building Maintenance Human Fair '07』

Outline of fair

　The first "Building Maintenance Human Fair" was held in 1991, with the main purpose of upgrading the image of this type of business. After that, these fairs were held every other year, and the current fair is the 9th. At this fair we plan to return to the fundamentals of building maintenance and to study and increase knowledge of the building maintenance industry and of technology, while simultaneously making our industry appeal to ordinary members of society. We will present our industry from the viewpoint of what building maintenance can do for society or the global environment.
　Making things clean includes making people's living spaces clean, but cleaning must not apply any load to the global environment. Our work to make water, air and rooms clean must provide an environment that is easy on our planet.

Information about previous "Building Maintenance Human Fairs" is shown here.
