## Overview
Yabushita Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Sapporo City, Hokkaido; President: Tadahiro Mori) has developed sound insulation panels designed for 24-hour infrastructure facilities, such as data centers, energy storage systems, and renewable energy facilities, capable of suppressing noise down to low-frequency levels (-30dB). Building on the initial release at the 'HVAC&R JAPAN 2026' trade show last January, the company has now released an updated lineup of four different panel types.
## Background: Rising Power Demand and Noise Issues
With the rapid growth of generative AI and cloud computing, domestic power demand is expected to increase significantly. Consequently, industrial infrastructure requiring high-capacity electricity, such as cooling systems and power storage units, is being expanded closer to residential areas, exacerbating noise issues. Power shortages and noise problems have become two sides of the same coin in modern infrastructure.
## Yabushita's Strength: 'Risk-Free Soundproofing' through Double Analysis
Yabushita leverages its extensive field experience combined with noise and airflow analysis, known as 'Double Analysis':
- **Balancing Soundproofing and Heat Exhaust**: Standard soundproofing often disrupts airflow, leading to machine failure risks (short-circuiting). Yabushita avoids this by incorporating airflow analysis.
- **One-Stop Service**: By conducting noise analysis, airflow analysis, and on-site verification internally, the company offers optimized solutions with minimal lead time.
## Product Lineup
The four sound insulation panels available based on site requirements are:
1. -30dB specification (Low-frequency capable)
2. -30dB specification (High performance/Cost-optimized)
3. -20dB specification (Mid-frequency focused)
4. -10dB lightweight model
The company will continue to promote these solutions to ensure both environmental compatibility for local communities and stable equipment operations.
