Professor, Department of Architecture, Waseda University
Dean of Advanced Collaborative Research Organization for Smart Society (ACROSS)
To realise a carbon-neutral society, it is necessary to consider not only net zero energy during operation, such as ZEB and ZEH (Net Zero Energy Building/House), but also the life cycle, such as embodied carbon. Furthermore, human comfort and welllness must also be enhanced. Architectural Environmental Engineering is a discipline that explores such matters.

Hikari Ryuzaki (Master's Student, Tanabe Laboratory)
I joined the Tanabe Laboratory because I was interested in comfortable built environments. For my graduation thesis, I focused on the comfort of semi-outdoor spaces and conducted subject experiments on the university campus. I received a lot of help from senior members of my research group, from setting up the experiment to analysing it, and in the end I was awarded the SHASE Promotion Student Award.
In addition, the Tanabe laboratory has a very good rapport between senior and junior students. Recently, we have been having more drinking parties and going out for fun with members of the laboratory. I feel that I am able to do my best in my research because I have a fulfilling and enjoyable life outside of research.
