Sustainable Built Environmental Engineering Division
Our goal is to accomplish sustainable, comfortable and safe urban built environment and architecture.
It is expected that more than 60% of people in the world will live in urban areas in the early 21 century. The most important subject of the global environment issue is the CO2 emission. One third of it is caused by buildings and most part of the emission is derived from the operation of buildings over their life cycle. For the reduction of CO2 emission, our laboratory studies on energy saving and commissioning of building systems, and planning and design of sustainable buildings. In addition we analyze the influence of buildings and green zone on the urban heat island phenomenon by taking buildings as the key elements of urban areas. The fundamental studies on modeling meteorological data such as air temperature, radiation, solar illuminance and solar irradiance are also conducted in order to analyze urban comfort and reduce environmental load.
