Building facing the Onagawa Bay

Received Good Design Award 2013

This well-known building is known by the slogan "Catch pikes in the fall of 2012." The town Fisheries of Onagawa were planned as a construction innovation. They included a completely refrigerated warehouse.

Designed for Tsunami protection
When a Tsunami hits the building, ALC panel of the first floor out and only pillars remain to minimize the power of the tsunami. Gaina protected the second floor which had 6000 tons of refrigerated storage capacity

22. University Joint Research in Tokyo Japan

Tokyo Metropolitan University

Energy Savings:
23% average throughout the year



Overview
Cost: $2 Million
Application: Roof, Outer & Inner wall
Duration: 4 years

Two identical homes were constructed. For comparison Gaina was applied to one home. The data on heating and cooling costs on both homes were collected and compared. The home with Gaina applied on it showed a significant decrease in energy costs.

Interior coating

Cooling Period (air conditioning)
   June 2nd to September 21st (112 days)
   Summer Months - 26.7% reduction

Heating Period
   October 28th to April 14th (169 days)
   Winter Months - 35.2% reduction

One must take into account the moderate temperature of the locale.
Please note, this experiment was conducted in a shaded area. If a test was conducted in a hot climate with direct sunlight, the effectiveness of the roof application would be more quantifiable.

Top Share 4 Consecutive Years in Japan

These charts show the overall shares in the eco-coating category.

Gaina is the product from Nisshin Sangyo Co. of Japan.

Nisshin Sangyo Co. （日進産業）has maintained its top share for the fourth year in a row.

Results
     Preserving national treasures requires a large amount of energy for HVAC.
     This case sought to reduce energy consumption by increasing the amount of thermal insulation.
   
As a material that avoids condensation, Gaina has been carefully evaluated in-house for several years, and we have a high regard for its insulation properties, its ability to resist dirt, and its design characteristics. (Comments from chief designer)
