Welcome to Architectural Environment Lab. at Hiroshima University !
Nowadays reduction of the energy consumption has been an urgent task after the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011. We study on the means of
improvement of energy efficiency in the building equipment system such
as air conditioning and hot water supply. Further energy saving by utilization
of sustainable energy is also in our interests.
We also focus on indoor thermal environment and behavior of
residents. We apply approaches from the social and psychological aspects.
Our interests are also in the urban environmental planning, focusing on
thermal environment, ecological environment, living environment for the
residents, renewable energy use and compact city. For example, we analyze
flows of heat and wind in the urban area by measurement and computer simulation
and work on creation of guidelines and/or integrated maps for the urban
planning in the future by applying the GIS and other tools.
