ARCHITREND 省 Ver5 by Fukui Computer Architect, Inc. is a specialized energy performance and compliance tool for residential design in Japan. Built to work seamlessly with the ARCHITREND suite, it analyzes a home’s envelope and systems to help architects, builders, and energy assessors meet the latest Japanese energy conservation standards while optimizing for comfort, cost, and sustainability. The character “省” (shō) denotes “energy saving,” reflecting the product’s focus on reducing primary energy use and improving thermal performance.
Key capabilities
- Integrated workflow: Imports building geometry and specifications from ARCHITREND models to automate takeoffs for walls, roofs, floors, and openings.
- Energy code compliance: Calculates key indicators such as UA values, solar heat gain metrics, primary energy consumption, and BEI to support compliance with current Japanese regulations and labeling programs.
- Equipment modeling: Evaluates heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting, and hot water systems, and can account for high-efficiency equipment and on-site generation (e.g., PV) to assess energy reductions.
- Regional accuracy: Uses climate-zone data and region-specific defaults to produce realistic results across Japan’s diverse climates.
- Scenario studies: Compares design options (insulation, windows, systems) and visualizes pass/fail status to guide targeted improvements.
- Documentation: Generates clear calculation summaries and submission-ready reports to streamline applications and reviews.
- Usability: Offers intuitive setup, libraries of materials and equipment, and real-time feedback to reduce rework and speed approvals.
