Nagai Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A building environment lab that studies insulation and air conditioning through measurement and calculation.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring how to use air conditioning to keep indoor spaces comfortable.
The Nagai Lab is an architectural environmental engineering lab specializing in heat in buildings and air-conditioning systems.
The lab studies methods of controlling air conditioning that keep indoor spaces healthy and thermally comfortable while efficiently using limited resources.
It evaluates architectural design measures, such as stronger insulation and window placement, through measurements in actual buildings and computer simulation.
Together with the Kurabuchi Lab, it makes up the environmental engineering labs of the Department of Architecture, Faculty of Engineering, Tokyo University of Science.
Key terms
- Insulation
- Limiting the flow of heat between the outside and inside of a building. A design measure that makes it easier to maintain indoor temperature.
- Air-conditioning control
- A method of adjusting how air-conditioning equipment operates so that indoor spaces stay comfortable.
- Computer simulation
- A method of using a computer to calculate things such as the flow of heat in a building and to predict the results.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies methods of controlling air conditioning that keep indoor spaces healthy and thermally comfortable while efficiently using limited resources. In addition to design measures such as stronger insulation and window placement and methods for evaluating them, it also studies the coordination of air conditioners and window opening and closing in houses, and the optimal control of the huge air-conditioning systems of large buildings.
