The lab creates healthy, sustainable living environments through energy saving and renewable energy.
AboutAbout the lab
Energy savings from materials to buildings, developed hands-on.
The Environmental Systems Engineering Lab studies building environmental systems engineering, including heat supply, heating and cooling, air conditioning, and indoor environments, with the aim of "creating healthy and sustainable living environments."
Recently, the lab has expanded into the planning, design, and impact assessment of facilities, buildings, and houses that use energy-saving technologies and renewable energy utilization technologies it has developed itself.
The lab places importance on handling everything itself: developing materials and devices, developing equipment and systems that use them, and then planning, design, and commissioning in real buildings.
Key terms
- Building environmental systems engineering
- Engineering that deals with the equipment that regulates the environment inside buildings, such as heating, cooling, ventilation, and hot water supply
- Renewable energy
- Energy such as sunlight, solar heat, and geothermal heat that does not run out when used and can be used repeatedly
- Commissioning
- Checking and adjusting a building's systems to confirm that they work with the performance that was planned
ResearchResearch themes
Building on environmental systems engineering for buildings, including heat supply, heating and cooling, air conditioning, and indoor environments, the lab studies energy-saving technologies and technologies for using renewable energy. Its work runs continuously from developing materials and devices, to developing equipment and systems, to planning and design at full scale.
