In this study, thermal load suppressant effect to the inside and outside of building covered with heat-treatment wood was evaluated with ten kinds of fabricated model structure with concrete. The surface temperature of the daytime wooden cladding became higher than the concrete surface, and thermal load to the atmosphere grew big. On the other hand, on after the evening when solar radiation became weak, the surface temperature decreased rapidly. The conductive heat flux was smaller than the concrete surface without the cladding, and transfer of heat was suppressed throughout the day.

Among four sets of Standard Year Weather Data (CSWD, CTYW, IWEC, SWERA) in China, only CSWD measures solar radiation. We show that the cloud ratios of CSWD in May, June, and July, are significantly smaller than the other three sets and measured solar radiation in Shanghai. In addition, the cloud ratios of CSWD in May, June and July are outside the bounds of the sky condition classification, thus not physically realistic. In order to obtain a higher accuracy of the solar radiation for air conditioning load calculations, we refine the cloud ratio of CSWD that yields realistic values of cloud ratio.

In this paper, we evaluated the COP of room air-conditioners with variable capacity compressor. The evaluation method and process to lead functions of electricity consumption and cooling / heating output were shown. Coefficients to lead approximate functions of input and output were shown as well.
Next, we compared the COP calculated by functions mentioned above and the COP measured in another test institution. As a result, it was confirmed that evaluation COP was identical with measurement COP. It developed that annual electricity consumption of variable-capacity air-conditioners was less than that of popular air-conditioners, because the COP at partial load was high.

PMV control system was applied for a ceiling radiation cooling/heating system utilizing groundwater as heat source/sink. The purpose of this study is to clarify that the power consumption of this radiation air-conditioning system is small as compared with convection air-conditioning system. Through the experiments of summer and winter seasons, the power consumption of the radiation system dropped to 50% of the convection system in summer and dropped to 65% in winter without power consumption of a makeup air unit.

The spiral type heat exchanger using for ground source heat pump system is developed. The aim of the heat exchanger is to intensive heat exchange in the aquifer layer near the ground surface. It is often observed that the areas in which rich underground water exist, the flow rate of groundwater is relatively high in shallow underground. In order to use the flow to intensive heat exchange, length of the heat exchanger is planned between ten to twenty meters to insert the top aquifer from the surface. Performance of heat exchange is simulated in various flow rate and soil condition. Based on the simulation and construction cost study, cost effectiveness of the spiral type is made clear.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the effect of energy saving and environmental improvement of the window applying the gelled PCM with elastomer. The gelled PCM is possible to solve a technical problem because of that characteristic properties. According to the experimental results, the light transmittance in the solid and the liquid phase shows 0.1 and 0.6[-]. The heat transmission coefficient of this window is about 6[W/m²/K] at the minimum. When the PCM window installed experimental housing, temperature fluctuation was reduced about 5[K] and the average reduction rate of energy consumption is 13.4[%], and 28.7[%] in maximum.

This paper aims to explain the changes in pupil numbers and resulting schools closures. From 1963 to 1980 the number of pupils declined drastically and the amalgamation and reorganization of schools proceeded massively. The number of pupils has been falling down since 1983 but there were no major changes in school numbers until 2002. However after that many schools shut down as the large scale merging of municipalities took place. We classified municipalities into 4 categories determined by the changes of school numbers in them and analyzed characteristics of the types.

The purpose of this paper is to derive physical environmental indicators of childcare facilities from now on. We examined actual conditions of approved day nurseries based on a nationwide questionnaire survey and found as follows: (1) Some of day nurseries fall short of the standard of the space with their own classrooms. They meet the criteria adding up to the areas of their own classrooms and another classrooms or playrooms. (2) There are differences in size of the lot area and playgrounds between urban areas and rural areas. In urban areas, both numerical values tend to be small. (3) Many day nurseries desire more space to meet needs for child care support and to divide places to eat and to sleep.

The purpose of this study, from the view point of practical value, is to give fundamental information about electric system that contributes to rationalization of the maintenance plan. In this study, 6 hospitals were researched and the total 50,092 pieces of information were collected. In this data, the failures and troubles about electric system have 7,344 pieces. There are much them next to sanitation, an air conditioner. The mean time to repair is approximately two hours at the hospital of the large scale, and it was around 60 minutes at other hospitals. The mean time to repair of electric system is longer than other facilities.
In addition, they are classified based on the building maintenance duties common specifications. That gives I suggest importance of the inspection in each inspection item or the need of the design improvement from this.

Development of tsunami evacuation building has become an issue in Japan. This paper is a report on planning issues on the basis of the actual use surveys of tsunami evacuation building in the Great East Japan Earthquake. There are a lot of areas without a building that has the structure and scale conditions. The target building decreases more when buildings are required to the stay. It is necessary to develop the method that tsunami evacuation buildings with different performance are located effectively. In addition, in order to make effective use of tsunami evacuation building, the evacuation training is required.
