Analysis of hygrothermal environment of buildings, Evaluation of human sensations

In recent years, the demand for a highly efficient and comfortable hygrothermal environment has increased. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the heat insulation, air-tightness performance, the indoor residential environmental performance and the equipment efficiency, etc. of the building at the planning phase. In order to create an energy-saving and comfortable living environment, we are researching on the durability of the building, the human health, the energy conservation and the thermal comfort. 
The main research themes are as follows; 
(1)  Effective utilization of the natural energy of the passive and active methods 
(2)  Proposal of the high performance building for the energy conservation 
(3)  Dynamic prediction and evaluation of the hygrothermal environment of the whole buildings 
(4)  Development of the building envelope system for high durability (evaluation of moisture condensation proof) 
(5) Evaluation of thermal comfort of the human body 
(6) Coupled analysis of the building environment and human sensation of thermal comfort 
(7) Optimal operation and installation of high efficiency equipment
