Application of information and communication technology is examined as a measure for Green House Gas (GHG) reduction over a long term in Japan. Many study meetings for calculating the environmental load reduction effect in 2020 have been conducted as trials, but there are still few precise examples. In this study, we investigated the instructions of electronic services for architecting the real estate securitization industry as an example of a paperless platform system. As a result of this
