Living Environment Design Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies how the human body and mind respond to indoor environments.
AboutAbout the lab
Scientifically verifying what makes a good indoor environment for people
The Living Environment Design Lab is a building environmental engineering lab that studies human responses to indoor and outdoor physical environments.
It investigates how the body, mind, and behavior respond to conditions such as heat, cold, and humidity.
Based on the results, the lab develops technologies for controlling the environment and methods for environmental design.
The lab aims to realize building environments that are healthy, comfortable, and conducive to intellectual productivity.
Key terms
- building environmental engineering
- The field that forms the basis for planning safe, healthy, and comfortable indoor and urban environments
- human body simulation
- A method that reproduces the movement of heat and moisture inside the body by calculation to study how it responds to heat and cold
- heat shock
- A phenomenon in which a sudden temperature change causes large swings in blood pressure and puts strain on the body
ResearchResearch themes
Aiming for building environments that are healthy, comfortable, and conducive to intellectual productivity, the lab studies human physiological, psychological, and behavioral responses to indoor and outdoor physical environments, as well as the environmental control technologies and environmental design methods based on them. Specific topics include human body simulation to prevent heatstroke and heat shock, comfort and health effects in low-humidity environments, and air-conditioning methods that increase alertness.
