Researcher's Information
Architecture/urban environmental engineering, architectural equipment, environment coexistence
We are carrying out research on the design of architecture and cities/city blocks that can coexist with the environment, clarifying humans comfort/physiological phenomenon, and the establishment of a low-carbon society.
(1) Human-clarification of comfort/physiological phenomenon:
We clarify the comfort and physiological phenomenon people experience through architecture and various spaces in cities in studying the architecture and urban spaces people feel comfortable with.
(2) Architecture-energy saving efforts:
We are promoting the development of next-generation air-conditioning/heat source systems that balance energy saving with comfort and an eco-campus in addition to making suggestions on and evaluating new merchant houses in Kyoto utilizing traditional knowledge and environmental coexistence type architecture.
(3) City-safe city blocks/city designs that take the environment into consideration:
We are evaluating and researching urban greening and city block designs that lead to control of the heat island affect.
(4) Earth-aiming at a low-carbon society:
We are aiming at the realization of being a low-carbon society by establishing a model that incorporates traffic and transportation in addition to architecture and cities.
