In this seminar, experts in insulation and airtightness, along with professionals in cold climate housing construction, will discuss the construction of homes with "Insulation Grade 6." The speakers include Emeritus Professor Yuuzou Sakamoto from the University of Tokyo, Associate Professor Masato Iguchi from Nihon University’s Faculty of Science and Technology, and Katsunori Maki, an advisor from Rid Co., Ltd. in Hokkaido, who will participate in a talk session. With the growing global awareness of environmental issues, the movement to promote "GX (Green Transformation)" is accelerating in Japan as well. Particularly in the housing sector, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, and the Ministry of the Environment have jointly established subsidies for energy-efficient homes that significantly exceed the standards of ZEH (Net Zero Energy House), targeting "GX-oriented homes." As many construction companies engage in GX housing, it is crucial to explore how to differentiate themselves and succeed in competition. This seminar will delve into how the introduction of technologies such as whole-house air conditioning and whole-house air purification can serve as differentiation factors from other companies, as well as how to envision the future landscape. It is a valuable opportunity to gain insights for future housing development.

Tornex Co., Ltd. (headquartered in Chuo-ku, Tokyo), which manufactures and sells a variety of air curtain products including insect-proof air curtains, has developed an outdoor heat countermeasure system specifically designed for outdoor environments called "AQUA Mist Zoner." Sales will begin in May 2025. Due to the record-breaking heat in recent years, the need for heatstroke countermeasures in outdoor spaces has increased. Many outdoor environments such as event venues, amusement facilities, sports facilities, educational institution grounds, factories, and construction sites require effective cooling systems. However, conventional dry mist systems are significantly affected by outdoor winds, making it difficult to establish a defined cooling range, which has been a challenge. The "AQUA Mist Zoner," developed by Tornex Co., Ltd., is an innovative cooling system that combines a high-performance waterproof fan with mist nozzles. It enables extensive cooling that was not achievable with traditional mist systems. Thanks to a specially designed honeycomb rectifier plate, it can deliver mist up to 15 meters away, reducing the temperature by approximately 2 to 3 degrees (when the outside temperature is 31 degrees), achieving about five times the cooling area compared to devices that only spray mist.

We have introduced a smoke separation deodorizing booth as a smoke separation measure in the store. It is installed at the back of the seating area, and customers have praised it for preventing smoke leakage. Other locations are also moving forward with its introduction. We offer proposals for smoke separation measures in restaurants, so please feel free to contact Tornex.
