One device for pollen, yellow sand, mold, and house dust measures: 'Electronic Dust Collection Filter'

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.

Our company has developed the YUCACO system and airflow system, and we believed that incorporating air purifier units into this circulation path would enable more effective air purification. However, high-performance filter-type filters increased pressure loss and posed clogging issues. Since around 2017, we have made progress, installing them in the Ota model in Gunma Prefecture. Additionally, the yellow dust problem in the Kansai region has been serious, and we strongly felt the need for air purification. In spring, it is not uncommon for yellow dust to arrive, causing the sky to become hazy, which leads to issues such as being unable to hang laundry outside, thus increasing the demand for improved indoor air quality. Therefore, we were attracted to electronic dust collection filters that have low pressure loss, are easy to maintain, and consume less power, leading us to their adoption.
