This document introduces methods for caring for tatami mats that allow for immediate action in case of accidental stains. Typically, tatami mats are flipped every 4 to 5 years and replaced every 7 to 8 years, but this can vary depending on the living environment and usage. Instead of judging replacement solely by the color of the tatami, if the surface is frayed or has burn holes, it is advisable to renew the tatami base. Additionally, modern homes tend to have high airtightness, which can lead to stagnant air in the rooms, so we provide explanations on the use of dehumidifiers by type. 【Examples of issues that can be addressed】 ■ If a baby or pet has urinated on the mat ■ In the unlikely event that mold develops ■ If part of the tatami has become dented due to a table or similar object ■ If liquids such as drinks or seasonings have been spilled ■ If oily substances like ketchup, butter, or cream have been spilled *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

This document introduces house building in Hokkaido, which implements measures against cold and snow. In Hokkaido, winter temperatures can drop below freezing, making cold prevention measures within homes essential. Various cold-resistant measures are taken in houses, including wall insulation, allowing residents to spend the cold winter in warm and comfortable spaces. Additionally, features such as "snow sliding houses," which allow snow to slide off, and "snow melting houses," which melt snow, are significant characteristics in response to snow. 【Cold Prevention Measures】 ■ Heating: Increase in central heating and all-electric homes ■ Chimneys: Many homes have FF-type stoves or boilers, with few having chimneys ■ Entrances: Installation of "windbreak rooms" surrounded by glass around the entrance ■ Roofs: Steel plate roofs that can handle snowfall are mainstream ■ Windows: It is common to use double layers of double or triple-glazed windows *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

This document introduces house building in Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture (on the Pacific side), which makes use of abundant sunlight. In Hamamatsu City, where the annual sunshine hours are long, the introduction of solar power generation is common. Solar panels are installed according to the shape of the roof, allowing for efficient power generation. The benefits of longer sunshine hours include very bright rooms on the south side during the day, making lighting fixtures unnecessary. Additionally, the heat from the sun warms the interior, helping to save on heating costs in winter. However, on the downside, summer temperatures can rise early in the morning, leading to increased air conditioning costs. 【Features】 ■ Long annual sunshine hours ■ Installation of solar panels ■ Bright during the day, no lighting fixtures needed ■ Savings on winter heating costs ■ Air conditioning costs incurred ■ Need for privacy fences outside the curtains *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

This document introduces house building in the Hokuriku region (on the Sea of Japan side), which is characterized by high humidity, heavy rainfall, and significant snowfall. Due to the relatively short annual sunshine hours and high precipitation in the Hokuriku region, moisture control and condensation prevention are crucial. As a result, wooden houses with moisture-regulating properties are commonly seen, leading to further efforts in this area. Additionally, measures such as whole-house ventilation and exterior wall ventilation methods are implemented to prevent the deterioration of homes. [Measures] ■ Many wooden houses with moisture-regulating properties ■ Exterior wall ventilation methods to protect against condensation within wall cavities ■ Whole-house ventilation using the Kiso packing method ■ Sunrooms that allow laundry to be dried even on rainy days *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

This document introduces house construction in Kumagaya City, Saitama Prefecture, which implements measures against heat. In hot regions like Kumagaya City, Saitama Prefecture, residential buildings face the challenge of only allowing humid outside air to enter even when windows are opened during the day for cooling and ventilation. Therefore, the key is how to keep indoor temperatures down. First, it is crucial to reduce heat intrusion from the roof and openings, and to find ways to release heat at night. These two points are significant. **Main Measures** - **Roof Insulation** - Use insulation and heat-reflective roofing materials - Apply heat-reflective paint - **Create Height Differences in Windows** - A three-dimensional ventilation plan is important - **Use "Low-E Double Glazing (Heat-Reflective Type)" for Openings** - Cuts solar heat gain by over 50% - Keeps interiors cool in summer and prevents heating from escaping in winter *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

This document introduces house construction in Kagoshima Prefecture, which implements measures against volcanic ash. Volcanic ash consists of small particles, but when a large amount falls, it can cause various damages to transportation, lifelines, agriculture, and health. The approach focuses on preventing ash from entering homes, making it less likely to accumulate, easier to remove, and actively protecting against ash, thereby reducing maintenance efforts, improving comfort, and extending the lifespan of buildings. Houses designed with these measures are called "Kokuhai Jutaku" (ash-resistant houses), and their promotion is underway. 【Main Measures】 《Kokuhai Jutaku》 ■ Roof: Use of ash-resistant tiles and similar products ■ Openings: Adoption of airtight sashes and double sashes ■ Ventilation Method: Utilizing airflow from under the floor to avoid direct introduction of outside air ■ Finishing: Smooth finishes with minimal irregularities (such as porcelain tiles) ■ Eaves and Gutters: Steeper slopes and shorter spacing between vertical gutters *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

This document introduces house building in Okinawa, which belongs to the subtropical region. Okinawan houses exhibit a unique structure not seen in Honshu. This is a clever adaptation to the heat and high humidity of Okinawa. To combat the heat, large openings in the walls and windows are created, arranged to allow for airflow. Floors are typically elevated to enable ventilation underneath, allowing moisture to escape. Additionally, to mitigate damage from direct typhoon hits, it is common to plant trees around the property, create groves, or surround the area with stone walls, which are characteristics of Okinawan homes. **Main Measures** - Utilization of natural wind - Sunlight shielding - Shielding of exterior walls and roofs - Heat and insulation measures for openings *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*
