Subject1: Evaluation Method of City’s Sustainability

Subject 2: Land Use Analysis and Decision-Making Support System for Urban Sustainability

It is pointed out that 70% of energy consumption in a city is influenced by its land use plan. Based on the analysis on the energy consumption by human activities under the land use plan, we aim to provide stakeholders with the information on the impact to CO2 emission by land use plan, and figure out the rational compact city form to reduce the environmental load through scenario-based analysis and comparison of land use alternatives.

Subject 3: Energy Saving Technologies and Measures for Sustainable Buildings

Subject 4: Development of Diagnosis System for Energy Savings

Diagnosis technologies and schemes for stimulating energy savings of urban buildings are necessary in order to form compact cities which have less environmental loads. We develop different diagnosis tools for energy savings and construct network systems which send the quantitative energy saving effects to society for improving building sustainability.
