One more thing is that pavement materials should product adapting to the city more efficiency. 4. The new high buildings in Tokyo were designed solar gain usage by facade and long wave heat reduced by the materials. Also winds fluid utilization is to keep inside cool against the energy loss by mechanicals. In architecture measurement, there are regulation by LEED in the world CASBEE in Japan.
