Issues with typical solutions to combat heat

【Sunshades】

  • The material tends to trap heat and make the surroundings feel warm due to radiant heat.
  • Sunshades can deteriorate under UV radiation and give rise to mold due to moisture.

【Insulating material 】

  • Insulating materials are difficult to install on membrane materials used in tents, etc.
  • Even if they could be installed, they tend to be stretched thin due to the material's thickness and weight.

Current Thermal Challenges

According to data from the Japan Meteorological Agency,the number of days with extreme heat (whose temperature peaks at 35°C or higher) is increasing every year.

Trend in the number of emergency medical evacuations per year(from 2016 to 2022)

According to data reported by the Fire and Disaster Management Agency,the number of emergency medical evacuations due to heat stroke in summer has increased significantly since 2010 and exceeded 90,000 in 2018, a particularly warm year.
