The lab studies the building services and energy conservation that shape the environments of buildings and cities.
AboutAbout the lab
Building services and energy that shape the built environment.
The Yuasa Lab studies how building services should be designed to create the environments of buildings and cities.
It looks at the energy consumed when buildings are in use and considers ways to conserve it.
Its research also covers how people feel about and behave toward their environment and building services.
Its specialty is building environmental engineering, with building services and energy conservation as key research themes.
Key terms
- Building services
- The equipment and piping systems that make a building usable, such as heating and cooling, ventilation, water supply and drainage, and lighting
- Building environmental engineering
- A field that takes an engineering approach to the environment around buildings, including heat, air, light, and sound
- Energy conservation
- Reducing the amount of energy a building uses while keeping the same level of comfort
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies how the systems that shape the environments of buildings and cities should be designed, and how to conserve energy. It also works on people's awareness of and behavior toward the environment and building services.
*Illustrative imageReusing waste heat from incineration plants across a city
Waste incineration plants produce large amounts of heat. Using Tokyo's plants as case studies, the lab investigates how to reuse this heat in multiple stages, from the highest temperature to the lowest, and deliver it to surrounding facilities and the city.
*Illustrative imageDelivering heat to a city with food-waste biogas
The lab examines how useful it would be to feed biogas, produced by fermenting food waste, into district heating systems that supply heat and hot water to a city. It uses Tokyo's 23 wards as an example and aims for a cycle of resources and energy.
*Illustrative imageSharing electricity in smart towns
The lab analyzes in detail how households use electricity. It simulates how to operate storage batteries effectively and how several homes could share a residential fuel cell, exploring energy conservation for the whole town.
