002 / CONSULTING

Structural calc, thermal,
& Passive House support.

A first-class architectural studio in Kariya, Aichi, Japan. Since 2008 we've been practicing wooden structural calculation, Passive House design, and thermal performance. We provide calculation outsourcing, design support, and second-opinion reviews for fellow architects and builders.

What we provide

04 PRACTICES
01 STRUCTURE

Structural calculation outsourcing & support

We handle the structural calculations actually needed in practice — allowable stress design, load-bearing wall checks, horizontal diaphragms, slenderness ratios. Also second opinions on complex plans and high-seismic designs.

  • Allowable stress design (conventional, SE-construction, large-scale wood)
  • Load-bearing walls, diaphragms, joints, foundations
  • Complete structural reports & submission documents
  • Reviews & second opinions on other firms' calculations
02 THERMAL

Thermal & energy calculation, design support

From envelope calculation to primary energy, ventilation, and thermal bridge (Flixo) analysis — numerical work and design support to raise thermal performance.

  • UA value (envelope average) & ηAC (cooling-period solar gain)
  • Primary energy consumption & filings
  • Thermal bridge (linear U-value) analysis (Flixo, etc.)
  • Ventilation & CO₂ simulation, airtightness design
03 PASSIVE

Passive House design support

Based on certification experience from the second Passive House in Japan onward, we support design of Passive Houses (and high-performance equivalents).

  • PHPP modeling, checking, fine-tuning
  • Envelope spec, window selection, ventilation guidance
  • Certification process & document preparation
  • Performance design consulting for design-focused firms
04 BIM

BIM, drawings & practice support

BIM-based duct planning, 3D detailing verification, drawing templates, and document formatting — practical support to raise studio productivity.

  • BIM duct planning & clash checks
  • Drawing manuals & template development
