Current thermal issues and solutions with SPACECOOL

Increase in heatstroke risk from rising indoor temperatures in summer

  • Helps lower WBGT and support MHLW-defined workplace heatstroke measures

Heat damage and quality degradation of stored items

  • Helps suppress indoor temperature rise and improve storage quality

Increase in electricity use and CO₂ emissions from AC operation

  • Helps reduce cooling load and lower AC costs and CO₂ emissions

Challenges of Conventional Heat Countermeasures

Thermal Insulation Material

  • Thick insulation reduces loading efficiency and increases weight
  • Stored heat raises temperatures at night

Air Conditioners

  • Consumes significant electricity for cooling and results in CO₂ emissions

Case study and results: standing seam roof installation

A 2-3°C temperature drop in the 19°C air-conditioned workspace reduced solvent evaporation and improved print quality.

Rooftop
Installation area
Approximately 600 m²
Material
Innovation Proof RR

Test results

  • Roof surface temperatures decreased by 20-30°C.

Case study and results: exterior walls and roof between buildings

Installing SPACECOOL on the exterior walls and roof between buildings reduced the internal ceiling temperature by approximately 15°C.
Client
Honda Motor Co., Ltd.
Objective
Reducing temperatures in the inter-building passageways of an automobile mass-production plant

Test conditions

Installation site
Exterior walls and roof of the inter-building passageway at Honda Yorii Plant
Measurement location
Ceiling temperatures measured in both installed and non-installed areas

Test results

  • With the air-conditioning turned off, the internal ceiling temperature was reduced by approximately 15°C during the peak outdoor temperature of the day.
This demonstration test was conducted as a joint development project with Honda Motor Co., Ltd.
