It is software that can simulate the effects of shadows from adjacent buildings and rooftop greening, allowing for predictions of indoor air temperature distribution and flow direction. This can be effectively used to predict the impact on energy usage when designing or renovating buildings, as well as to examine the validity of measured values and analyze the current situation.

• Contract measurement

Under the Energy Conservation Act, when constructing or making certain renovations to specific buildings of 300 square meters or more, a notification regarding energy conservation measures must be submitted to the relevant administrative authority at least 21 days before the start of construction (there are penalties for not submitting the notification). Our company will handle the preparation of this notification, which is cumbersome and requires expertise (currently, we do not handle residential applications).

• Contract measurement

According to the provisions of the Energy Conservation Act, when constructing new specific buildings of 300 m² or more or making certain renovations, it is necessary to notify the relevant administrative authority about energy conservation measures. The owners of the buildings that have made this notification must either report the status of energy conservation measures to the relevant administrative authority every three years (regular reporting) or undergo a building inspection by a registered building inspection organization. Our company, in addition to conducting building inspections as a registered building inspection organization, also provides support for the preparation of regular reports for customers who wish to continue with traditional regular reporting.
