Particularly, in the service industry, improvement of worker productivity and offering new added value are becoming a topic worthy of national interest.
On the other hand, the housing industry grasps the needs for quality improvement by directly facing a large number of housing users, with continuous responses: aiming for energy conversation, zero-emission measures, and the diversification of residential needs, such as the new construction market’s presently saturated condition, strengthening measures aiming to add value and reduce costs.
