Aim Universe Integrates WB Construction Method in Okinawa

In a groundbreaking move, Aim Universe, a Tokyo-based company specializing in residential housing with rooftops, has introduced the WB construction method in its new line of homes under the brand &RESORT HOUSE琉球 in Okinawa. This new development, located in Okinawa City, marks the first time that this innovative construction technique has been employed in the &RESORT HOUSE series.

Addressing Okinawa's Climate Challenges

Okinawa is known for its unique climate, characterized by high humidity and temperatures that demand effective measures against mold and moisture. Additionally, households experience humidity retention after typhoons and prolonged air conditioning usage. Understanding these local challenges, Aim Universe has adopted the WB construction method, which is particularly suitable for high-humidity environments. The aim is to provide homes that are not only comfortable but also durable under these conditions.

What is the WB Construction Method?

The WB (Ventilated Insulation) construction method is a building philosophy designed to control air flow within the walls by incorporating a ventilation layer. This method allows air vents to open or close automatically with temperature changes, effectively managing the air circulation within the walls. During the summer, it reduces the retention of heat and excess moisture, while in winter, it limits cold air inflow. A unique feature of this method is the use of shape memory alloys, which respond to temperature changes without the need for electrical energy, thus leveraging natural energy sources.

Combining WB Construction with Hebel Power Board

For the &RESORT HOUSE series, Aim Universe has chosen Hebel Power Board, produced by Asahi Kasei, as a standard exterior material. This wall material boasts excellent insulation, fire resistance, and soundproofing properties. Given Okinawa's specific environmental challenges—such as the high humidity during seasons of rain and typhoons—these qualities are essential. The partnership between the WB construction method and Hebel Power Board aims to create a home environment that minimizes external heat exposure while effectively managing internal moisture.

Commitment to Hidden Performance

With the &RESORT HOUSE series, the introduction of the WB construction method marks a significant evolution in home building that emphasizes not only measurable performance metrics like insulation and seismic resistance but also the often-overlooked "invisible" aspects such as indoor air quality and moisture management. By incorporating these features, Aim Universe is committed to providing homes that ensure well-being and comfort for residents.

Future Outlook

Aim Universe is committed to developing homes that are tailored to the climate of Okinawa, aiming to create living spaces that are not only pleasant but also long-lasting. Their mission revolves around safeguarding family happiness and asset value by providing housing solutions that excel in both design and performance.

The company has a track record of introducing cutting-edge technologies, such as seismic systems since the Great East Japan Earthquake, and has plans to introduce energy-efficient packages that include solar power and electric vehicles in partnership with Hyundai Mobility Japan by 2025.
