Introducing the importance of "attic ventilation" along with a checklist!

Originally, Japanese houses were designed to suit the hot and humid climate, featuring an open structure that allowed for good ventilation. However, modern homes have pursued comfort, leading to increased airtightness and insulation, which has resulted in some adverse effects in recent years. If only one of the following items is checked, it does not mean you can relax. If any apply, it is a danger signal for your home. 【Let's check together】 ■ It’s cool outside, but the room is stuffy ■ Air conditioning is not effective ■ Many uncomfortable nights ■ Mold has appeared on the ceiling or in the closet ■ The room smells musty ■ Eyes feel irritated ■ Children often cough ■ Condensation has appeared in the attic *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The reduction rate is approximately 15% to 23%! We confirmed energy-saving effects by ventilating the attic.

This experiment examines the "effect of indoor air conditioning electricity consumption." By ventilating the attic, the reduction rate of electricity consumption during air conditioning operation on sunny days was approximately 15% to 23% (*), confirming energy-saving effects. Additionally, a temperature comparison between the attic, indoors, and the human body using a thermotracer showed that with a ventilation system, the temperature of wooden parts such as beams and the ceiling in the attic was lower, and the temperature difference indoors was reduced by height. *Varies depending on conditions and the capacity/efficiency of the air conditioner Air conditioning operation time: 16:00 to 22:00 for 6 hours [Results of the indoor air conditioning electricity consumption effect experiment] ■ The reduction rate of electricity consumption during air conditioning operation was approximately 15% to 23% (on sunny days) ■ Energy-saving effects were confirmed *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

When the moisture content exceeds 20-25%, wood decay is more likely to occur.

The effect of completely dried wood on the ventilation conditions under the floor was tested in a test house. Initially, the moisture content rises as it absorbs moisture from under the floor, but in the case of the underfloor with a "subfloor ventilation fan," the moisture content of the posts stabilizes at around 20%, as shown in the graph in the image. It can be seen that the moisture content is about 5% lower compared to the case without the "subfloor ventilation fan." 【Test Overview】 <Comparison of Moisture Content in Underfloor Posts in the Test House> ■ Period: May 24, 2003 - July 27, 2003 ■ Post Size: 105×400mm, measuring three posts, the graph shows the average moisture content of the three posts ■ Measuring Equipment: Sanko Electronic Research Institute, Moisture Meter MR-200 *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Measures against condensation in summer! Condensation and corrosion within wall structures are often difficult to detect.

In 2020, the "mandatory energy-saving standards for housing" are scheduled to be implemented, and it is expected that Japanese homes will increasingly aim for high airtightness and high insulation. However, at the same time, measures against condensation during the summer must be considered. In a site where glass wool was filled using the 2x4 construction method and a vapor barrier was installed on the interior side, significant corrosion due to condensation occurred. It is believed that the interior became hot and humid, leading to condensation as it was cooled by the air conditioner on the inside. The hold-down hardware also showed white mold, and if corrosion progresses like this, it will pose problems for the durability of the building. This type of summer condensation particularly occurs in regions with high temperatures and humidity, like Japan. Therefore, it is necessary to implement sufficient measures against winter condensation while simultaneously preventing summer condensation. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The cause is a large amount of water vapor! The challenge is how to remove humidity and suppress mold and decay.

Foundation insulation is a method of insulating the foundation that faces the outside air. The period when the risk of condensation and mold is highest with foundation insulation is from June to September of the first year after completion. The main cause is the large amount of water vapor that comes from the concrete floor. Especially, wood that contains a lot of moisture significantly deteriorates in strength, so it is important to be cautious considering durability against earthquakes and typhoons. As a solution to these moisture problems, our company has developed a dedicated underfloor dehumidifier called "Dry Pro." It effectively eliminates moisture and condensation, and is useful for preventing mold, pests, and decay fungi in the underfloor wooden components. (Patent and design application pending) 【Features of Dry Pro】 ■ Dehumidification capacity of approximately 400-600cc per day on humid days during the rainy season and summer ■ Circulates dehumidified air widely using a blower ■ Quiet design: 45/44dB ■ Equipped with fittonia, which has deodorizing effects as standard *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

After about one month, a drier condition (wood moisture content 12%) was confirmed!

"Dry Pro" is a floor dehumidifying blower that effectively eliminates moisture and condensation, and is useful for preventing mold, pests, and decay fungi in the wooden parts under the floor. Assuming the early stages of new construction for homes with foundation insulation methods, 36 liters of water were sprinkled on the foundation under each building, and dried wood (cedar) was installed to measure the moisture content of the wood and the humidity under the floor. As a result, the buildings where this product was installed gradually dried out by repeatedly operating the dehumidification process every day, and after about two months, an average of approximately 70% RH in a dried state was confirmed even outside of the dehumidification operation hours. [Experiment] ■ Test House A - Floor area approximately 10 tsubo - Foundation insulated underfloor (Dry Pro installed) ■ Test House B - Floor area approximately 10 tsubo - Foundation insulated underfloor (no dehumidifying blower) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The future of wind and housing! A discussion on the current state of attics in Japanese homes.

In this discussion, we explain the measures against humidity and condensation in attics, as well as the importance of ventilation. Our company launched the underfloor ventilation system in 1981, and two years later, we introduced the attic ventilation system. Since then, after several model changes, it has now become a standard specification for new constructions in some cases. However, through many years of promotional activities, there is an impression that attic ventilation is perceived by both businesses and end users solely as a measure against heat. *For detailed content of the discussion, you can view the PDF materials or related links.

"It's too late after becoming a victim." In light of recent violent robbery incidents, what kind of crime prevention measures should be taken? Here are some suggestions for self-defense measures.

"Life Defense Air" is a wireless sensor system installed on windows and doors that detects intruders and deters them with a loud alarm sound, making it difficult for them to continue their actions. At the same time, it makes a phone call to a pre-registered smartphone to notify of the abnormal situation. Even when at home, it can be set to security mode, deterring intruders with the alarm sound. Additionally, it includes a monitoring function for the elderly. For example, by installing wireless sensors in places where daily activities can be monitored, such as the bathroom door, it leaves a one-call notification on the family member's smartphone at a set time every day. Those monitoring can feel reassured just by checking the call history at the designated time. The fact that the elderly do not need to operate any machinery is also excellent.
