FlowDesigner - 5-Minute Air Flow Simulation for Everyone!

Mitsubishi Jisho Sekkei , Inc.

Comfort and sustainability
are two keys in my designs.
It is my duty to balance two.

He is specialized in analysis since
his college days. His expertise andenergy distinguish himself.

What is the policy for energy-saving, CO2 reduction,sustainablity at Mitsubishi Jisho Sekkei?
Mitsubishi Jisho Sekkei as a company stresses
on taking care of environment. We have four guidelines
made in June, 2001, in order to live with theenvironment.
1. In planning, designing, and managing stages ofbuildings, we contribute to the society by building
sustainable towns with following four strategies.
a. Long life
b. Natural harmony, environmental preservation, scene
fomationc. Energy-savingd. Conserving resources
e. Waste reduction
2. In offices, we conserve paper, recycle paper, andconserve power usages in air-conditioning and lighting
3. During delivery of services, we comply all laws andregulations related to environment and promises andrequests on environment.
4. For environmental preservation and pollution
prevention, we construct environmental managementsystem and maintein and improve it continuously.
Mitsubishi Jisho Sekkei has been working hardto build environmentally friendly new buildings.
Inaddition, we are proposing renewals to make existingbuildings more environmentally friendly and energysaving to meet clients’ wishes. I am personally dedicating
myself in reducing carbon footprint as a part of Mitsubishi
Jisho Sekkei, whose motto is “Grand designers ofenvironment, culture, and future.”

How do you use FlowDesigner in your daily duties.
What do you think about FlowDesigner?
I am with this company for four years.
Throughout the carrier I have found the importance ofcommunications.
Especially for proposals andpresentations, not only texts and numbers, moreintuitive methods like figures and animation add greatvalue.
Inddor air flow and temperature distribution
are ones of key issues in discussions but it is hard to
make the points clear. Figures and animations of flow
and temperature distributions are great for this. Forinstance, a client asks “is it cold at foot?” and we havecalculated and we are sure that it is not. So, we answer“no.” But if we do so with a temperature distribution
map made with FlowDesigner, the client will feel much
more confident.
However, air flow analysis might not be quickand easy. I have used several softwares for suchanalysis and FlowDesigner stand out because of easy
operation and appealing outputs.
We are using
FlowDesigner since July of 2006. The version then had
2D modeler and it was sufficient. However, withversion 7, modeler user interface was extended to 3D
and it made reviewing the model much easier. In turnwe can make correct model much more efficiently.
Designing work requires a lot of time toreview the designs.
Therefore, the reduction ofmodeling time is really helpful for my work. I am
hoping to have continuous improvements in this aspect.

What do you do for energy-saving, CO2 reduction,
sustainablity in daily duties?
We are applying cutting-edge technologies not
only to new buildings but also to the existingbuildings.
We have more renewwals than newbuildings. Also, running energy cost for those existingbuildings is really important for environment.
Renewals to reduce carbon footprint is important. As a
total design architecture company, we designbuildings, and engineer structures and equipements.
Additionally urban managements, landscapings, andrenewals are important roles for us. We do those withgreat care of environment. For example, windows aresusceptive to external conditions. It is required tocooperate design, structure, and equipment in good
harmony to reduce air-conditioning load while keeping
great apearance.
Double-skin (dual layer glasswindow) and PC curtain wall (concrete external wall)as hisashi or visor are by experience very effective.
We keep improving the concepts in each opportunity.
We collaborate with universities and clients to improve
technologies. For an example of radiation coolings
and other cutting-edge technologies, monitoring
system consist of indoor environmental measurements
and energy consumption monitoring renewed theoffice as inovativce “information-rich” office. This
experience gained through many collaborations and wewill utilize for many upcoming designs.

Please give us comment.
In recent years, environment issues become
very popular and many people pay great attention toenergy-saving. As a building designer, I have a great
responsibility and also great opportunity to makechange with clients. I am interested in renewableenergies. They are great weapons for designers. We
used to live together with nature.
We can live
harmoniously with nature better with newtechnologies. I do not have extended experience but I
will keep working to deliver great combination of
comfort and energy-saving.
