In the field of buildings including housing, which emit one-third of Japan’s CO2, we will conduct research on the impact of carbon neutrality not only on individual buildings but also on the community and society. We will also develop technologies for net zero energy houses and buildings that emphasize wellness such as comforthealth and productivity.
Researchers in the fields of architecture and electrical/mechanical engineering will work together to conduct research on housing, architecture, cities, and energy with the aim of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.
In the field of building and housing, energy conservation has mainly been pursued by improving the performance of buildings and equipment. As information and communication technology (ICT), smart grids, AI, and the IoT are highly developed, it is urgent to study how to utilize digital technologies in the field of building and housing for energy conservation and effective use of renewable energy. It is also important to consider the impact of the energy demand of houses and buildings on the grid, the community, and society. Our unit will promote the following three types of research.
We will actively implement the results of our research in society together with our collaborating companies, and will actively make policy proposals on carbon neutrality based on scientific evidence.
