Radiant Heat and Heat
Radiant heating and cooling technology
For many years, we have been conducting research and development on air conditioning technologies that utilize groundwater and natural energy.
One of its core technologies isRadiant heating and cooling technology" is.
While conventional air conditioning cools or heats people using airflow, radiant heating and cooling is a technology that gently regulates the temperature of the entire space.
What is radiation?
We usually feel the warmth of the sun.
Even in the middle of winter, sunny spots feel warm because of the radiant heat from the sun.
Conversely, the phenomenon of heat being released into the sky on summer nights is also a form of radiation.
Radiation is a natural phenomenon in which heat is transferred without the need for air.
Arranging the space, not just the wind.
A typical air conditioner adjusts the temperature by blowing out cold or warm air.
However, you may experience strong winds, uneven temperatures, or dryness.
On the other hand, radiant heating and cooling uses walls, floors, ceilings, and water to regulate the thermal environment of the entire space.
Therefore,
Low wind
Less temperature unevenness
Does not dry out easily
Quiet and comfortable
It has the following characteristics.
Combination with groundwater
We focused on the stable temperature of groundwater.
Groundwater serves as both a natural heat storage tank and a cold storage tank.
By utilizing this stable energy and gently transferring heat throughout the space through radiation,
Significant energy savings have been achieved.
Groundwater utilization technology and radiant heating and cooling technology are essential technologies that support our air conditioning systems.
What the forest teaches us
There is no air conditioning in the natural forest.
However, once you enter the forest, you feel a sense of comfort.
This is not only about plant transpiration,
The soil retains heat, water carries heat, and trees soften the sunlight.
This is because heat is transferred between the sky and the ground through radiation.
Nature creates comfortable environments by combining multiple mechanisms.
The challenge of air conditioning for living.
We don't consider air conditioning to be merely a mechanical device.
What constitutes an environment that people truly find comfortable?
How does nature regulate air and heat?
I continue to pursue that question.
The forest we are currently working on for Soshindo also contains water, soil, plants, and air.
And it's a small research institute that observes the workings of radiation.
Forests do not exist to act as air conditioning.
As a result of living as a forest, it creates an environment that is comfortable for people.
As we learn from nature's wisdom, we can create a future "Growing Air Conditioning」「Air conditioning for livingWe aim to achieve this.
