Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, aerial photographic images were taken in a new residential area using a thermographic camera-equipped multicopter for analysis of how three survey items affect snow accumulation. The aim is to establish an evaluation method to achieve the practical application of “a house design method that considers easy snow management”, developed by the authors. The analysis found that the amount of snow on the premises is greatly affected by snow that drifts and accumulates on the roof and that snow accumulation can be prevented by designing the roof to have a certain orientation. In particular, because snowmelt caused by solar radiation decreases the amount of snow falling from the roof onto the premises, roof orientation is important. This finding suggests that the introduction of a “rooftop snow management plan” as a step prior to applying the design method we have developed enables architects to design houses in consideration of easy snow management in snowy cold regions.
