AboutAbout the lab
Approaching global warming countermeasures from the perspective of energy
The Shiraki Lab studies energy system analysis for examining measures to curb climate change.
The lab combines regional climate, patterns of energy use, and the costs of countermeasures in mathematical models for analysis.
Based on measured data on household electricity consumption and questionnaire surveys, the lab also examines ways to promote household energy saving.
Key terms
- Climate change
- Long-term changes in the Earth's temperature and climate, caused by factors such as increasing greenhouse gases
- Energy system
- The production, transport, and use of energy viewed together as a single system
- Mathematical model
- A representation of how something works in the real world using mathematical equations, which makes it possible to change conditions and test them through calculation
ResearchResearch themes
To examine measures for curbing climate change, the lab focuses on energy system analysis using mathematical models. It works on the feasibility of introducing countermeasures in each region and on ways to promote energy saving in households.
*Illustrative imageAnalysis of Global Warming Countermeasures Suited to Each Region
Considering regional climate conditions, characteristics of energy use, and the costs of countermeasures together, the lab conducts analysis with mathematical models that can handle environmental and economic aspects at the same time. It provides material for considering the introduction of energy-saving equipment and renewable energy suited to each region.
*Illustrative imageResearch on Promoting Household Energy Saving
Based on measured data on household electricity consumption and the results of questionnaire surveys, the lab conducts analysis to examine ways to promote energy saving in the residential sector.
