Research Abstract

This is tree years project for the purpose of classification and evaluation of research papers in the field of architectural plumbing system, and producing those data base.
The research works in the field of architectural plumbing system have been many variations, and carried out by several methods such as investigations, experimentations, theoretical analysis, and so on. To examine, classify, and evaluate those research works by the academic point of view should contribute for accomplishing research works in future.
In the first year, studying on necessary elements of producing data base, and making up the format of the data base were carried out, and input the data of research papers in Japanese. The field has long technical history, however research works have carried out recently about 50 years.
But the research works have carried out actively from about 30 years ago. And there have been 2206 research papers from 1965 to 2000 presented mainly for Architectural Institute of Japan, and Society of Heating, Air-conditioning and Sanitary Engineers of Japan.
For international, there have been 541 research papers presented for CIB-W62 symposium which the author was represented from Japan, 1972-1999. In the second year, those paper's data were input.
The final year, checking those input data has been carried out, and the data base has been completed.
