環境リサーチ List of Products and Services

Our company conducts mold investigations primarily reporting on the analysis results of mold counts and species (at the genus level). In addition to investigating mold counts and species, we also assess the air environment on-site as needed to investigate "why mold has proliferated." We assist in visualizing the current situation, such as "there is a moldy smell" or "what is the current state after previous disinfection work." 【Features】 1. Hearing and on-site inspection 2. Proposal of investigation methods and estimates 3. On-site investigation (collection of mold samples and various measurements) 4. Analysis and interpretation 5. Reporting results and proposing causes of proliferation and countermeasures *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

• Environmental Survey

Our company conducts odor investigations in accordance with the Odor Prevention Law, as well as assessments related to unusual odors and odor complaints. We identify the source of odors by combining various methods, including measuring odor component concentrations and odor indices, and dispatching odor judges. Based on the analysis of the causes, we identify issues on-site and propose suitable odor countermeasures. If necessary, we can also provide information on deodorization construction and suggest deodorization equipment. 【Features】 ■ Current situation assessment ■ Cause investigation ■ Countermeasure proposals *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

• Dismantling and moving

After new construction or renovation work, harmful chemicals that volatilize from paints, plywood, adhesives, and other materials may cause sick house syndrome, leading to symptoms such as headaches and dizziness. To avoid such risks, it is important to conduct proper measurements after construction to confirm safety. Our company provides comprehensive support, including not only measurement services but also pre-inspection advice, investigation of causes, and recommendations for action if measurement results exceed guideline values.

We will conduct a deterioration survey of the exterior walls, such as bulging, using a high-level 300,000-pixel thermal camera (FLIR CPA-SC620). This can be done more cheaply and safely than erecting scaffolding. When combined with partial tapping surveys, it allows for highly accurate investigations.

Using lightweight and heavyweight impact sound sources (tapping machine and banging machine), the floor being measured is excited to generate impact sound, and the lightweight equivalent sound pressure level and heavyweight maximum sound pressure level are measured directly below. The floor impact sound level is then determined. From these results, the L value is calculated and evaluated.

• Other construction services

If the spray materials or insulation materials contain asbestos, a notification is required two weeks in advance, regardless of the amount contained. Since this significantly affects the construction plan and costs, please consult our company, a specialist in asbestos surveys, for a pre-renovation or demolition asbestos survey.

Generate pink noise in the sound source room, measure the sound pressure levels on the source side and the receiving side, and determine the inter-room sound pressure level difference. From the results, calculate the D value and evaluate it.

• Other construction services

It predicts the noise level exposed on the window surface based on the frequency data of the sound source, its position, size, and occurrence frequency, and calculates the necessary sound insulation required to achieve the target value indoors.

"I want to know the sound insulation performance of building materials under development," "I can't spend too much on costs," "I want to know the results as soon as possible." If you have such needs, please consult us. It has become easy to conduct sound insulation performance tests for building materials at our acoustic laboratory. (The data is not official. Please be sure to use it as reference data.)

On June 10, 2010, the Ministry of the Environment announced the Asbestos Monitoring Manual (Version 4.0). For samples where the total fiber count exceeds 1 f/L, methods for identifying asbestos using electron microscopy and several analytical methods for rapid measurement at demolition sites were introduced. Our company will accommodate these analyses.

This software can simulate the effects of shadow from adjacent buildings and rooftop greening, allowing for predictions of indoor air temperature distribution and airflow direction. This enables effective use in predicting the impact on energy consumption when designing or renovating buildings, as well as in examining the validity of measured values and conducting current situation analyses.

• Other Management Services

In buildings where asbestos has been sprayed and immediate removal or containment is not possible, it is necessary to regularly conduct asbestos measurements to ensure that asbestos is not dispersing indoors or elsewhere. We provide comprehensive support from selecting measurement locations to creating annual measurement plans and records, depending on the condition of the asbestos.

Under the Energy Conservation Act, when constructing or making certain renovations to specific buildings of 300 square meters or more, a notification regarding energy conservation measures must be submitted to the relevant administrative authority at least 21 days before the start of construction (there are penalties for failing to submit the notification). Our company will handle the preparation of this notification, which is cumbersome and requires expertise (currently, we do not support residential applications).

Sound sources are generated from the speakers, and data is recorded from microphones placed in several locations within the room. From the analysis results, the reverberation time of the room is calculated.

• Other construction services

According to the Energy Conservation Act, when constructing or making certain renovations to specific buildings of 300 m² or more, a notification regarding energy conservation measures must be submitted to the relevant administrative authority. The owners of the buildings that have submitted this notification are required to either report the status of energy conservation measures to the relevant administrative authority every three years (regular reporting) or undergo a building inspection by a registered building inspection organization. Our company, in addition to conducting building inspections as a registered building inspection organization, also provides support for the preparation of regular reports for customers who wish to continue with traditional regular reporting.
