The Atmospheric and Thermal Environment Engineering Lab evaluates global-scale environmental problems and their solutions using simulation models. The lab develops and uses integrated assessment models that treat energy, the economy, agriculture, land use, and water use together. It quantifies future greenhouse gas emissions, the costs of reducing them, and the effects of climate change on people's lives. The scope ranges from individual countries in Asia to the entire world, and the time horizon covers the short, medium, and long term, from the present to 2100.

The Urban Sanitary Engineering Lab studies how to ensure the safety and reliability of urban water supply, which is its central focus. As cities develop, they become more convenient, but they also give rise to a variety of risks. As for safety, the lab places particular emphasis on how to reduce the health risks posed by the environment. The lab also works on evaluating and controlling the safety of drinking water, designing water supply systems for a shrinking population, and communication with citizens.

The Environmental Quality Control Lab studies methods for managing and improving environmental quality by solving problems of water pollution and chemical contamination. Combining basic science and engineering, the lab values an attitude of constantly identifying new environmental problems. Located at the Research Center for Environmental Quality Management on the shore of Lake Biwa, the lab conducts research on pollution in Lake Biwa and its watershed. Its research is wide-ranging, from the behavior of organic matter in water to lake and watershed management and the development of new testing methods.

The Environmental Quality Prediction Lab studies how pollutants released by human and social activities behave in the environment, and how they affect human health and aquatic organisms. It aims to improve and evaluate environmental quality, prevent pollution, and restore the environment. Based on field surveys and experiments, the lab uses instrumental analysis and biological assays to determine how much of each pollutant is present. Located at the Research Center for Environmental Quality Management on the shore of Lake Biwa, the lab also studies countermeasure technologies and management methods.

The Environmental Preservation Engineering Lab studies society through its waste to gain the knowledge needed to build a sound material-cycle society. It analyzes material cycles by linking technologies for properly managing waste with how chemicals behave in the environment. It also develops models for building a sound material-cycle society and evaluates policies such as recycling laws. Located in the Environment Preservation Center, which handles environmental management at Kyoto University, the lab also studies the sustainability of the campus.

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.

The Radioactivity Environmental Dynamics Engineering Lab studies the movement and state of radioactive materials that have spread into the environment in events such as nuclear disasters. The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident revealed water-insoluble radioactive microparticles that had not been anticipated at the time. The lab investigates how such microparticles form and how they behave in the environment, working to elucidate the circulation of microparticles on Earth and in space. Using the research reactor KUR at the Kumatori Campus, it conducts research that is distinctive even on a global scale.

The Radioactive Waste Management Lab conducts research to reduce the environmental impact of radioactivity released from nuclear facilities. Research on managing the radioactive waste produced by nuclear facilities is essential for using nuclear power safely. The lab studies the analysis, decontamination, and remediation of radioactive contamination, the assessment of environmental impacts from accidents and from normal operation, and the behavior of hazardous substances in the environment. The lab is located at the Institute for Integrated Radiation and Nuclear Science on the Kumatori Campus, where it is known as the Radioactive Waste Control Engineering research division.

The Environmentally Harmonious Industry Lab studies the conservation and management of the water environment, the recycling of materials, and the creation of energy-saving industries. The lab uses techniques such as water quality analysis and water treatment, the analysis and treatment of trace contaminants, and the analysis of satellite and land-use data. The lab combines field surveys and experiments with model-based analysis to carry out research that is useful in practice. The lab belongs to the School of Global Environmental Studies. For graduate school, students can choose either the Department of Environmental Management in the Graduate School of Global Environmental Studies or the Department of Urban and Environmental Engineering in the Graduate School of Engineering.

The Energy and Environmental Science Lab studies the various atmospheric environmental problems that arise from energy use. Its main focus is tiny airborne particles (aerosols) produced by the combustion of fossil fuels and biomass, as well as by Asian dust and pollen. These particles change as they are transported and affect the climate and human health, so the lab studies their properties and transformations through observation and experiments. The lab belongs to the Graduate School of Energy Science and accepts lab visit requests by email. It held open labs in spring 2025 and spring 2026.
