A feature article has been published in the building materials magazine for first-class architects, 【CLASS1 ARCHITECT 2021 vol.4】!

The "Shin-Tokoname City Hall" has adopted large electric roller screens. New guide rails were developed to match the shape of the site. High sound insulation was also praised!

We would like to introduce a case study of the installation of the LUTRON electric roller shades 'Sivoia QS' that we handle. ~ A large electric roller shade with a height of 11.5M has been adopted! ~ [Installation Achievements] ■ Project Name: Tokoname City Hall, Aichi Prefecture ■ Size: W1460×H11580 and others ■ Number of Units: 8 ■ Adoption Points: We developed a new guide rail tailored to the 50mm width of the vertical shape of the site. We successfully enabled smooth ascent and descent through a narrow gap of just 75mm between the wall and the stairs. The installation location is in a spacious atrium, and due to the potential for sound reverberation, we prioritized high sound insulation. Utilizing the space from the window. We will plan and propose roller shades tailored to the facility's concept. For roller shades, please leave it to us. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to consult us first.

By using a Φ65 pipe, it enables compatibility with large sizes! It creates a bright space without compromising the sense of openness.

We would like to introduce a case where a large manual roller screen "CR-65" was installed at the new Tokoname City Hall. The possible size for manufacturing manual roller screens rarely exceeds a width of 3 meters. In this case, by using a Φ65 pipe for a window measuring 3.1m in width and 3.2m in height, we were able to accommodate a larger size. Even for large manual roller screens exceeding 3 meters, they can be operated with light force due to the use of a 6:1 gear. Additionally, even when the screen is lowered, the use of mesh fabric allows for a bright space without compromising the sense of openness. 【Product Overview】 ■ Product Name: CR-65 (Chain, Large Type/Manual) ■ Size: W3.1m × H3.2m, etc. ■ Quantity: 153 units *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We introduce a case study of installation at a public facility. A large manual roller screen over 3 meters wide has been delivered to the new Tokoname City Hall in Aichi Prefecture!

We would like to introduce a case study of the "Manual Roller Screen (CR-65)" that we handle. [Project Introduction] ■ Project Name: Tokoname City Hall, Aichi Prefecture ■ Size: W3133×H3200, among others ■ Number of Units: 153 ■ Product Used: Large Manual Roller Screen (CR-65) The possible size for manufacturing manual roller screens rarely exceeds a width of 3 meters. In this case, we were able to achieve a large size by using a Φ65 pipe, and by adopting a 6:1 gear, it allows for easy operation with light force despite its large size. [Features of the Roller Screen "CR-65"] - Easy operation for opening and closing with a chain - Can stop the screen at any desired height - Softly blocks dazzling sunlight, creating a bright space while allowing for light adjustment without losing the sense of openness. *For product information, please refer to the "PDF Materials."

Print your favorite pattern on the fabric and turn it into a roll screen! Here are some examples of installation as a back panel.

Here is an introduction to a case where we were hired by the new Tokoname City Hall. In this project, we printed the Tokoname City logo and character on plain roller screen fabric. We adjusted the design to fit the size, taking into account the final appearance of the roller screen based on the data provided. Since the weight bar is wrapped inside the fabric, it is hidden, resulting in a printed fabric that extends from the top to the bottom of the screen. The appearance of the printed fabric is not compromised by the weight bar. 【Product Overview】 ■ Product Name: Sivoia QS-100 (Electric) ■ Size: W2m × H3m ■ Quantity: 1 unit *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Electric roller screens automatically raise and lower according to the set time! Here we introduce a case of achieving centralized control.

We would like to introduce a case study of the implementation of "GRAFIK Eye QS" at the new Tokoname City Hall. This product is a LUTRON interface equipped with features such as control of roller shades via buttons and an LCD display that shows energy-saving rates and status. We successfully achieved centralized control (timer control) of nine groups of electric roller shades divided between the east and west sides of the building from a single room. 【Features】 - Control is possible for each group of electric roller shades. - Settings can be adjusted based on direction, sunrise, and sunset for opening and closing according to usage conditions. - The LED lights on the switch allow for checking the status of the roller shades. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Introducing installation examples at public facilities. 71 Sivoia QS electric roller shades were delivered to the new Tokoname City Hall!

We would like to introduce a case study of the electric roller shades from LUTRON, model 'SivoiaQS 100', that we handle. [Project Introduction] ■ Project Name: Tokoname City Hall, Aichi Prefecture ■ Size: W3006×H3200 and others ■ Number of Units: 71 ■ Adoption Points: In a public space with high foot traffic, there was a need to block the glaring sunlight from the south and west sides... We responded to this request. The convenience of being able to operate them simultaneously according to the position of the sun, along with excellent quietness that is not bothersome even in public spaces, are major features. [What’s Great About the Electric Roller Shades 'SivoiaQS'!] - Excellent quietness that does not disturb the tranquility or atmosphere of the space. (Approximately 44 decibels at a distance of 1 meter) - Easy operation and settings via keypad or remote control. - With an electronic drive unit, even one to multiple roller shades can operate accurately and smoothly. *For product information, please refer to the 'PDF materials'. For any questions or consultations regarding case studies, feel free to contact us.

We will be exhibiting at the only comprehensive and cross-sectional international convention in the marine field in Japan, "Techno-Ocean 2025." In this exhibition, we will introduce a wide range of specialized survey services related to offshore wind power generation projects, including wind and sea condition surveys, O&M, sediment surveys, and fishing ground environmental monitoring. We will also showcase marine surveys and seagrass bed investigations using marine robots such as autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs) and underwater drones, as well as the collection of dead fish in aquaculture operations.

The energy policy promoted by the government has finally made a significant shift from "quantity to quality." The previous large-scale introduction of renewable energy policies relied on inexpensive foreign-made panels, leading to the chaotic installation of mega-solar farms across Japan's land, which created environmental, landscape, and waste issues. As a result, Japan's energy self-sufficiency rate remains at a mere 13%, and even with the advancement of renewable energy, "import dependence" has not been resolved. In light of this reflection, the focus moving forward will be on "developing domestic energy technologies" and promoting "self-consumption type renewable energy." Among these, perovskite solar cells are lightweight, highly efficient, and offer great flexibility in installation, making them a trump card for "decentralized renewable energy" that can be easily retrofitted onto building walls and roofs. Kenneth Energy Development Co., Ltd. is developing a "selective self-consumption solar power generation system" that utilizes domestic panels and perovskite technology. Based on a track record of 83 projects nationwide and a total construction cost of 908.4 billion yen, it supports the industry's "energy independence." Now, renewable energy is entering an era of "security infrastructure."
