・Comprehensive Strategy for Sustainable Housing Design
This chapter illustrates the process of producing and revising comprehensive “sustainable housing design guidelines” and its concrete example. The research results have led to indicating how to adjust the guidelines to different countries or regions as well as changing situations over time.
Sustainable Home Design by Applying Control Science

Today's homes must prepare for a progressing ageing population and an increasing risk caused by climate change, as well as reduce CO2 emissions. How homes can be designed to meet all of these requirements? How such design can be promoted in the housing market? "Sustainable Home Design by Applying Control Science" answers these questions, by using a novel approach. Kazutoshi Fujihira, an innovative environmental scientist and sustainable housing award winner, demonstrates the "control system for promoting sustainable home design" with the "sustainable design guidelines" and "sustainability checklist." Moreover, the chapter of case study illustrates an actually designed and constructed house, which shows excellent sustainability and energy-saving performance.
Chapter 1 Requirements for Sustainable Housing Design
The introductory chapter clarifies major sustainability issues related to housing, mainly focusing on climate change and ageing population.
Chapter 2 Background: Existing Japanese Systems Related to Sustainable Housing
Chapter 2 outlines existing Japanese systems related to sustainable housing and clarifies the remaining issues.
Chapter 3 Basic Schemes: Preparations for Applying Control Science to Sustainable Design
The third chapter shows the basic schemes, namely the "basic control system for sustainability," "model of sustainability," and "two-step preparatory work for sustainable design."
Chapter 4 Methodology of Applying Control Science to Sustainable Housing Design
Chapter 4 demonstrates the "control system for promoting sustainable home design" with the "sustainable design guidelines" and "sustainability checklist."
Chapter 5 Case Study: Detached House Designed by Following the Control System
The chapter of case study illustrates an actually designed and constructed house, which shows excellent sustainability and energy-saving performance.
Chapter 6 Discussion and Conclusion: Effectiveness, Characteristics and Future Prospects of the Methodology
The last chapter discusses the effectiveness, characteristics (user-friendliness, comprehensiveness, flexibility, etc.) and applicability of the methodology.
