Abstract

We speak of environmental engineering in a broad sense, but here we deal only with architectural environment engineering. When we think about the environmental elements in the existence of the human race, we include water, air, earth and solar energy. These are called basic environmental elements.When we think about the history of architectural environment engineering, we can find a starting point in "Architectural Hygiene" written by Rintaro Mon. Considerable study of the hygiene of housing was conducted in the Taisho era by specialists in hygiene. Kohji Fujii then joined the study as a person interested in architecture. Architectural Science was systematized in the Showa era and environmental engineering was formed as "the Principles of Architectural Planning". Study and education in this field came to be praticed in Showa 10 to 20 (1935 to 1945), and becames more popular after World War, but it used various names. The name "Environmental Engineering" has been used at the Architectural Institute of Japan since Showa 39 (1964), and this branch of study now includes districts, cities and the global environment.
