<Summary and evaluation of the "Society of Heating, Air-Conditioning and Sanitary Engineers of Japan Technology Award">

The Society of Heating, Air-Conditioning and Sanitary Engineers of Japan Award is given annually by the Society of Heating, Air-Conditioning and Sanitary Engineers of Japan, a public interest incorporated association that is an academic organization in the fields of engineering related to air-conditioning, sanitation, the environment, energy, etc., with the aim of promoting academic and technological progress. The Technology Award (Building Equipment Category) that "SUSTIE" received this time recognizes achievements that are recognized as having value as works that skillfully harmonize technology in the planning, design, construction and operation of building equipment or environmental equipment-related facilities.
The following five points were highly evaluated in awarding the award:

1. 中規模オフィスビル（延床面積約6,500㎡）において、『ZEB』（設計BEI=－0.06、実績 BEI=－0.15〔1年目〕、－0.16〔2年目〕）を達成
2. The design combines architectural innovations (passive design) such as the installation of openings to let in natural ventilation and shading from direct sunlight with eaves, and the introduction of highly efficient equipment (active design).
3. In addition to introducing highly efficient multi-air conditioners for ZEB buildings and general-purpose packaged air conditioners, the design requirements for common areas have been relaxed to reduce the capacity of air conditioning equipment by approximately 40%.
4. 快適性の向上や利用者の健康増進を計画するとともに、入居前後の光・温熱・空気などの環境満足度を調査し良好な結果を取得、『ZEB』とWELL認証「プラチナ」取得の両立を実現
5. 快適性を維持しながら一次エネルギー消費量を最小化するビル設備の運転計画立案技術を開発。立案した計画でビル設備を1年間運転させ、設計BEIを上回る実績BEIを達成。さらに、ABWオフィスの利用者が好みの温熱環境を選べるようにするため、在席者位置と室温の表示システムを導入

<Future plans>

We will continue to operate "SUSTIE" and verify its effectiveness in energy conservation, health promotion, and increased productivity, while also working on new demonstration projects that contribute to carbon neutral buildings and the well-being of office occupants.
