Summer measures to suppress the rise in building temperatures have become urgent. In this situation, heat insulation materials that can replace traditional insulation are gaining attention. What exactly are these heat insulation materials? Let me explain heat insulation in an easy-to-understand manner. About the heat insulation sheet "Thermo Barrier" that reflects 97% of radiant heat "Thermo Barrier" is a special sheet coated with "aluminum foil" that reflects radiant heat. By adding this product to insulation materials, it reflects the radiant heat from the summer sun and suppresses the rise in temperature of the insulation and the building. In winter, it helps to prevent the heat from heating devices from being released outdoors, reducing cold drafts. With the dual effects of summer and winter, it achieves ideal insulation properties and reflects heat that traditional insulation cannot stop. 【Features】 ■ Coated with "aluminum foil" to reflect radiant heat ■ Has a high reflectivity with aluminum purity of over 99% ■ Reflects 97% of radiant heat, including far-infrared rays ■ Achieves ideal insulation properties with the dual effects of summer and winter For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

• Heat insulation and heat shielding methods

Why is the shade of a corrugated roof hot while the shade of a tree is cool, even though the wind passes through and the temperature remains the same? The answer is "radiant heat." Radiant heat refers to electromagnetic waves such as far-infrared radiation. When you have a bonfire in a drum can, your body warms up even though the wind is blowing. In this way, radiant heat moves from the hotter area (the drum can) to the cooler area (the human body), transferring heat regardless of the air temperature. [Reasons why the shade of a corrugated roof is hot] - Temperature in summer: 70°C to 80°C - Human skin temperature: about 32°C to 33°C - Radiant heat from the corrugated roof is directed towards the human body - Even in the same shade, the perceived temperature can vary greatly due to the presence or absence of radiant heat *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Currently, we are running a campaign for customers who adopt our Sky Method. This is a "Visualization Campaign" that quantifies the energy-saving contributions before and after implementation. The "Visualization Campaign" addresses the challenges of considering the Sky Method: "Is it really effective?" "Evaluating the effects is cumbersome." "Creating reports is difficult." → We will solve all these challenges for you! - We will record utility costs and room temperatures before and after the implementation of the Sky Method and quantify the effects! - You can leave all the preparation and installation of the necessary measuring equipment to us! - We will also take care of data aggregation and report creation, so you can immediately report within your company with the materials provided. With the "Visualization Campaign," the burden on the person in charge is minimized, making the process from the introduction of the Sky Method to reporting easy!

• Heat insulation and heat shielding methods

This is an introduction to heat insulation measures for the Hiace, along with examples of construction. We implemented creative heat insulation measures for each area. On the roof, we applied double-sided tape and attached a sky sheet. Around the edges, we used glass cloth tape. For the interior ceiling, we applied double-sided tape and attached Thermo Barrier S. For the walls, we removed the dashboard and installed Thermo Barrier Fit inside.

Usage: Refrigerated container Installed products: Roof) Thermo Barrier Sky Ceiling, Wall) Thermo Barrier S Installation area: 160m2 Installation period: Installed in March 2022 Construction duration: 2 days Reason for introduction: Adopted to reduce electricity costs (air conditioning expenses in summer).

• Storage Container

Among the numerous examples of Thermo Barrier installations, we would like to introduce a case where it was applied to the roof of a cow barn. ▶︎ As a measure against heat, Thermo Barrier S was installed under the roof of the cow barn. 【Feedback after installation】 I believe that summer has become quite comfortable for both people and cows. - Before installation, it was so hot that it was impossible to work, but after installation, the heat became less of a concern. - The temperature inside the cow barn dropped below 30°C. - The cows started eating feed better, and their weight increased.

• Heat shielding sheet

This is a construction case study. Originally, the Sky Sheet is used as a sky method installed on top of a corrugated roof, but in some cases, it is used differently, so we will introduce such an example. Building usage: Temporary toilet heat insulation at a construction site Construction site: Shizuoka Prefecture Product used: Thermo Barrier Sky Installation location: Two-unit temporary toilet Construction period: August 2022 Construction days: 0.5 days It was installed as a heat countermeasure for a temporary toilet at a site office with a construction period of about 8 months. Since it is a rental item, caulking was not used; instead, the overlapping parts were made larger to prevent water intrusion, and finished with glass cloth aluminum tape. In addition to heat countermeasures, we also expect benefits for winter temperatures.

• Phenol Foam

We use ThermoBarrier S as packaging material for maritime transport. Instead of using standard containers, we pack the products in specially designed large wooden boxes for maritime transport. The products being transported are precision machinery that is sensitive to heat, and since they may pass through the equator, we package them with ThermoBarrier S and additionally wrap the entire large wooden box with ThermoBarrier S for transport. Originally, we were able to transport without any issues up until about 3 to 4 years ago, but we began to experience malfunctions and deformations due to heat. Therefore, we started using ThermoBarrier S as packaging material, and we have not encountered any problems since. Now, we use "ThermoBarrier S" as packaging and heat insulation material during maritime transport.

There is heat that cannot be stopped by insulation alone. With the power of heat shielding, it is cool in summer and warm in winter. ThermoBarrier is a heat shield material that cuts 99% of radiant heat that cannot be prevented by insulation alone. By using ThermoBarrier on your home's roof and walls, you can suppress the rise in building temperature caused by the sun's radiant heat in summer, lowering the perceived temperature. This makes it possible to reduce the use of air conditioning. In winter, the indoor temperature tends to escape outside. Since ThermoBarrier reflects the radiant heat generated indoors back into the room, it helps prevent the drop in temperature within the building. Utilizing this function, ThermoBarrier plays a very important role in achieving "cool in summer and warm in winter" easily and affordably.
