Safety, Health and Energy Management Engineering Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab uses data to protect safety in workplaces and energy use on campus.
AboutAbout the lab
Toward a safe and sustainable society.
The Safety, Health and Energy Management Engineering Lab tackles social issues from two perspectives: safety and health engineering, and energy management engineering.
It evaluates how much of the particles and chemicals in the air of workplaces and similar settings people take into their bodies.
Combining on-site measurements, quantification using cells and animals, and estimation by simulation, the lab aims to express safety in numbers.
It also studies how energy is used on university campuses and how to manage it efficiently.
Key terms
- Exposure Assessment
- Estimating how much of a harmful substance people take into their bodies
- Biomarker
- A marker found in blood, urine, and similar samples that indicates the effect the body has received or the amount of a substance taken in
- Demand Response
- A mechanism in which electricity users adjust how they use power to balance supply and demand when electricity is short or in surplus
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies from two perspectives: safety and health engineering, and energy management engineering. It works on scientifically evaluating harmful factors in workplaces so that they can be improved, and on rationalizing energy use at the university.
*Illustrative imageEvaluating and Improving Workplace Environments
The lab evaluates workplace risks related to chemicals, particles, and work practices as scientifically and quantitatively as possible. Using field surveys, laboratory reproduction, and models of inhalation in the human respiratory tract, it proposes new evaluation technologies and improvements.
*Illustrative imageMeasuring Intake with Markers in the Body
Harmful substances enter the body through the skin, breathing, and the mouth. The lab estimates intake by measuring biomarkers in blood, urine, saliva, and hair, and studies more precise exposure assessment for substances such as acrylamide.
*Illustrative imageDeveloping Methods for Assessing Exposure to Nanomaterials
How much people are exposed to nanomaterials such as titanium dioxide and carbon nanotubes when they are used in products is not yet known. The lab develops instruments that track particles one by one and proposes assessment methods intended to become international standards.
*Illustrative imageEnergy Management on University Campuses
Electricity use at universities is uneven across facilities and times of day. The lab analyzes electricity demand data and usage by individual equipment in detail, evaluates how much can be adjusted through demand response, and aims for efficient energy management.
