Construction Case: Financial Institution. Reflecting strong sunlight. Problem solved!
Reflected in the strong sunlight.
The new head office building, scheduled for completion in 2025, is a financial institution actively working to reduce CO2 emissions and energy consumption, having obtained ZEB Oriented certification. This newly constructed branch is the first building in the prefecture to receive ZEB certification among regional banks. In sunny Okinawa, with many south-facing windows, we adopted Akalina Contract Reflect. The Reflect horizontal type has a solar heat gain coefficient of 0.17ηA (eta A). With its high heat shielding effect, it hardly generates radiant heat, preventing indoor temperature rise and improving air conditioning efficiency to save energy. It also cuts ultraviolet rays almost entirely, preventing skin sunburn and interior discoloration. ■ Installation Direction ■ South ■ Used Blinds ■ Reflect: Solar reflectance rate of 84.6%. Radiant heat is hardly generated. (For the Reflect horizontal type) * The Akalina daylighting blinds have different specifications, warranty contents, and services for corporate and personal use. The corporate version of Akalina is AKARINA contract (Akalina Contract, abbreviated as Akalina C).

The use of natural light has been practiced for a long time, and in Japan, shoji screens are a prime example. However, in recent years, there has been an increase in buildings that rely on artificial lighting without incorporating natural light during the day. While natural light has the disadvantage of being affected by weather and seasons, it excels in terms of openness, brightness, and quality of light. Our proposal is to create a space where natural light can be felt more comfortably and pleasantly indoors. This is our concept of "creating an eco-friendly and comfortable environment in harmony with natural light." Our main product, the Akarina C daylighting blind, brings in natural light and transforms it into soft, diffused light to brighten indoor spaces, thereby reducing the need for artificial lighting. Additionally, it minimizes the impact of outside temperatures, reducing temperature fluctuations near windows. As a result, it keeps spaces cool in summer and warm in winter, reducing the load on air conditioning and contributing to energy savings. The slats are highly durable and resistant to light, making them less prone to breakage and ensuring a long lifespan. With an anti-static treatment, they are less likely to collect dust, making maintenance easy. The Akarina C is an economical and environmentally friendly product. *The Akarina daylighting blind is available in versions for businesses and individuals, differing in specifications, warranty, and services. The version for businesses is called Akarina Contract (abbreviated as Akarina C).
