  Construction example: Office(14)

  In urban office buildings, the close proximity of structures makes it difficult for light to reach the interiors, resulting in a lack of privacy. Conversely, high-rise buildings have no obstructions to sunlight, making window areas particularly hot. The solution to such problems is the Akari-na Contract (hereinafter referred to as "Akari-na C"). Akari-na C is a bright blind even when closed. It allows natural light to enter and diffuse, providing soft illumination indoors. Typically, it is used with the slats closed to maintain privacy. Windows facing the west can become hot even in winter, raising concerns about reflections on computer monitors and UV exposure. For such environments, there is Akari-na C Reflect, which cuts strong sunlight and reflects and diffuses it through the slats, delivering soft light throughout the room. Akari-na C requires no complicated renovation work and helps create comfortable indoor spaces and buildings while considering the environment, such as ZEB and SDGs. *The Akari-na daylight blinds come in versions for corporate and personal use, differing in specifications, warranty content, and services. The corporate version is called AKARINA contract (Akari-na Contract, abbreviated as Akari-na C).

  Construction example: factory(7)

  Generally, factories have large floors, making it difficult to incorporate sufficient natural light, especially in areas with machinery where lighting is necessary. Additionally, in areas near windows, direct sunlight can enter, causing issues with rising room temperatures. The solution to such challenges is the Akari-na Contract (hereinafter referred to as "Akari-na C"). Akari-na C allows natural light to enter and transforms and diffuses it into soft light, thereby reducing lighting costs. Furthermore, it is typically used with the slats closed, which helps protect privacy and confidential information. The high heat-insulating reflectors reflect and diffuse direct sunlight, spreading it throughout the floor. This helps to suppress the rise in room temperatures, particularly in summer, maintaining a comfortable working environment. It can be easily installed without the need for troublesome renovation work. It is an environmentally friendly solution that contributes to energy-saving measures in factories, compliance with ZEB standards, and the achievement of SDGs. *The Akari-na blinds have different specifications, warranty contents, and services for corporate and personal use. The corporate version of Akari-na is the AKARINA contract (Akari-na Contract, abbreviated as Akari-na C).

  Construction example: Financial institution(11)

  The layout of financial institutions needs to consider both approachability and security. Entrances and lobbies are typically designed with large windows to bring in natural light. However, large windows also allow heat, which causes an increase in indoor temperature. Additionally, direct sunlight can create reflections on computer monitors, which is a concern. The Akari-na Contract daylighting blinds convert and diffuse harsh direct sunlight into soft light, delivering it deep into the room. Unlike traditional metal slats, they minimize the impact of outside temperatures, reducing temperature fluctuations near the windows. As a result, they keep the space cool in summer and warm in winter, thereby reducing the load on air conditioning and contributing to energy savings. They also excel in privacy protection, addressing various issues associated with large opening windows. *The Akari-na daylighting blinds come in versions for both corporate and personal use, with differences in specifications, warranty, and services. The corporate version is called AKARINA contract (abbreviated as Akari-na C).

  Construction examples: Public and educational facilities(11)

  Public and educational facilities serve as places for community interaction and, during disasters, become evacuation sites, necessitating a shift towards "long-lasting renovations" in terms of structure and functionality. The slats of the Akari-na Contract (hereinafter referred to as "Akari-na C") are highly durable and resistant to bending, which helps reduce the risk of glass shards entering the room in the event of disasters such as earthquakes. They are treated with an anti-static coating that makes them resistant to dust, allowing for long-term use. Additionally, unlike traditional metal slats, they minimize the impact of outside temperatures, reducing temperature fluctuations near windows. As a result, they keep interiors cooler in summer and warmer in winter, thereby reducing air conditioning loads and contributing to energy savings. The gentle light that passes through and diffuses from the slats of Akari-na C creates a sense of openness and security indoors, while its clean and minimal design blends well with various interiors. *The Akari-na daylight blinds come in versions for businesses and individuals, differing in specifications, warranty content, and services.

  Hybrid(19)

  A comfortable indoor environment varies depending on factors such as location, purpose, and layout. Therefore, we have created custom-made blinds, Akari-na Contract*1 Hybrid, that can adapt to any environment. By using slats that transmit and diffuse light (Milky) and slats that reflect light (Reflect) within a single blind, we can control natural light according to the environment. For example, at eye level, we use Reflect to reduce glare and provide heat insulation, while the area closer to the ceiling uses Milky to let in light. This achieves a balance between daylighting and heat insulation, solving issues of "dark," "hot," and "glare" all at once. *1 The daylighting blinds "Akari-na" are available for corporate and individual use, differing in product specifications, warranty content, and services. The corporate version of Akari-na is called AKARINA contract (hereinafter referred to as "Akari-na C").
