Unveiling the Advantages of Energy Efficient Homes
In a move towards achieving a zero-emission Tokyo by 2050, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government is spearheading initiatives that aim to improve energy efficiency in residential properties and promote the use of renewable energy. This year marks the launch of the 'Building Environmental Reporting System,' which not only encourages eco-friendly living but also helps reduce utility costs while providing a comfortable living environment year-round.
In an engaging collaboration, the renowned comedian and certified financial planner Masumi Yagi of the comedy duo Savanna has partnered with housing experts to shed light on the benefits of energy-efficient homes.
