Summary Energy saving of buildings is very important issue in Japan, because the carbon-dioxide emissions from buildings form 31.5% of whole our country, and its amount is getting larger and larger.Recently, hydrogen is expected as an new energy source which can replace fossil fuel, and the establishment of hydrogen and fuel-cell technology becomes a national subject of Japan.
This research carried out various examination towards the carbon dioxide reduction by the urban system using hydrogen such as safe technology of hydrogen in a city, the efficient utilization of hydrogen in building site, development of evaluation method of urban systems from view point of carbon-dioxide emission and economy.
