This series focuses on the little-known facts about Japanese housing and its performance. This time the theme is “windows.” It is said that the insulation performance of windows is extremely important for keeping a house warm in winter and cool in summer. However, the window situation in Japan is serious, with “the highest-rated insulating windows in Japan having such low performance that they are illegal overseas.” Let me explain in more detail what is really going on in this situation. In fact, the insulation performance of Japanese homes is the lowest among developed countries. There are quite a few facts that are common knowledge among those who know about them, but that many people are unaware of. One of the reasons for this is the fact that Japanese housing performance, especially insulation and airtightness (homes that are warm in winter, cool in summer, and energy-efficient), is exceptionally low among developed countries. Unfortunately, many people considering building a new home or purchasing a condominium seem to be unaware of this fact. Whether or not you know this before building your home will make a big difference in your satisfaction after it is built.

>>1 Resin sashes deteriorate due to UV rays, so they require repainting and maintenance. Aluminium sashes are maintenance-free. Aluminum-plastic composite sashes are the most environmentally friendly.
>>3 The difference between streetscapes in developed countries overseas is whether they are built with the assumption that they will be torn down in a few decades or not. Japan is mass production and mass consumption (they don’t build things seriously because they are built with the assumption that they will be torn down in a few decades). For example, sidewalks on streets overseas are built with stone tiles, and in Japan they are all paved with asphalt. Guardrails and park fences overseas are built with some decoration, but in Japan they are just sticks, sticks, sticks.
>>11 Old houses have wooden frames, but aluminum is easier to handle. Wood can rattle and require strength depending on the season, so maybe that’s why ours was cheaply built, but I only remember everyone feeling relieved when it became aluminum.
Aren’t you comparing it to countries overseas where the outside temperature drops a lot?

Isn’t it strange that the value of a building becomes zero before you’ve finished paying off your mortgage? Even though there are typhoons and earthquakes. It would make life easier if you could trust that you could sell it for the same price as when you bought it, without it having to be a lot more expensive like in America.
>>18 Until recently, it was the norm for houses to collapse before the payments were finished. The reason why the construction industry was doing well was because the price was so high for that house. It was exposed around the time of Tama Homes.
I think Japanese houses are built to make money from endless maintenance by contractors. There’s scaffolding everywhere and it makes the view look bad.
>>33 The people who think like that are old people who haven’t moved on from the high economic growth of Japan in the Showa era. Today’s Japan is like what you think of Southeast Asia. It’s a country with less future prospects than any of the current Southeast Asian countries.
>>39 If you don’t insulate the floor properly, the first floor will be cold because the temperature of the ground will be transferred directly to it. I think it would be most comfortable to live in a three-story house with the second floor as the main floor.
It’s normal for summers to be hot and winters to be cold. As the only country in the world with four seasons, we should just enjoy each season as it is.
>>48 Japanese culture is about accepting the heat and cold as they are, as they are. It’s normal for it to be hot in the summer and cold in the winter.
