One obvious point that stands out to me is that the Japanese are a people of convenience, frugality (even people who are well off) and for lack of a better word, patient. I don't think that they in general care more about the planet and it's resources than other developed nations it's just that they don't like to waste anything and I see the value in that.

Why don't you wait four months and do the same thing again in the dead of winter? You would get some more clues as to why Japanese homes are more energy efficient than US ones. Cheers and keep up the good work. Peter Nice little article. Why don’t you wait four months and do the same thing again in the dead of winter?
