Sustainable Building Environment Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that works toward energy-saving, comfortable buildings by studying heat, air, light, and energy.
AboutAbout the lab
Healthy, comfortable, energy-efficient buildings
The Sustainable Building Environment Lab studies the thermal, air, and light environments of building spaces, as well as their energy consumption.
The lab researches building environmental technologies for realizing buildings that are healthy, comfortable, and energy-efficient.
It works on developing air-conditioning technologies and daylighting technologies, and on creating methods for evaluating the environment.
The lab also studies the indoor gamma-ray environment in areas affected by the nuclear power plant accident, and methods of radiation protection through architectural planning.
Key terms
- building environmental technologies
- Technologies for maintaining indoor environments, including heat, air, and light, using little energy
- daylighting
- A method of brightening a room by bringing in daytime sunlight through windows and skylights
- gamma rays
- A type of radiation emitted by radioactive materials; electromagnetic waves that easily pass through matter
