As we enter September, we are refraining from conducting surveys due to the situation of the fifth wave of new coronavirus infections.
However, it is essential to collect data and reinstall the installed measuring equipment.
So, I worked on the Itakura construction house that I was currently investigating.
At E Residence in Nagareyama City, Chiba Prefecture, we are implementing various measures to improve the indoor thermal environment based on the results of a survey conducted during last year's heat wave.
Try installing a louver on the west side opening of the loft area to vent warm air, try creative ways to use the overhanging roof, or try adding greenery to the walls.
In addition to passive design measures, the building is also being flexibly designed to prepare for the intense heat by installing air conditioners.
A building is not complete once it is built.
It is important to come up with ways to make the environment more comfortable while living there.
I felt that again.
