Fundamental Air Control (AC) Method
An Utsunomiya University/Oyama College/AIREC jointly developed productTo overcome the drawbacks of conventional methods focused on waterproofing properties, this collaborative
project produced waterproofing that breathes, effectively discharging water accumulating inside thewaterproofing layer by including a ventilation mechanism within the waterproofing layer. We have successfully
created Air Control roof waterproofing that achieves excellent ventilation combinable with existingwaterproofing methods.
■ Mechanism/Installation Standard
Intake ventDeaeration cylinder ventilation capacity: Max 300 m2/1 unit
Air intakeExhaust

Solar JET ventilation
with fan300 m2 space installation
Exhaust vent: 1 unit; Air intake cylinder: 2 ormore units*Products with heat insulation specifications
Exhaust vent: 2 units; Air intake cylinder: 4or more units*When waterproofing layer is installed over insulation material, waterproofing layer may become hotter in summer compared toconventional methods, reaching around 80・C (Architectural Institute of Japan; Membrane Waterproofing Work, p. 125).

■ Benefits and Characteristics of the AC Method

Improves soundness of the entire building
including the waterproofing layer

Autonomous forced supply of fresh air through the AC method
Removes moisture

Reduces water

Removes heat
Suppresses moldand corrosion

Prevents heataccumulation● Restores soundness of waterproofing layer and frame ● Improves
environment inside the layer ● Reduced air-conditioning costs, etc.

● Extended life ● Enhanced comfort ● Lower energy costs, etc.
