what do you mean by inefficient? japanese houses are remarkably energy-efficient for their climate. they are very breezy, which cuts down on AC use in the summer, and in winter you heat specific objects instead of the entire house
- seanmcdirmid 4y agoThat really isn't true. A lot of older housing in Japan has really bad insulation, you are basically stuck with a kotatsu in the winter not by choice.
- namdnay 4y agoThat’s on purpose, to avoid mold in the summer. And heating a kotatsu and a bed instead of an entire house is way more energy efficient
- ricktdotorg 4y agoi took GP's comment of "heating specific objects" to mean an object like a kotatsu.
