Extreme weather events such as heat waves caused by global warming are becoming a global issue.
In this context, Japanese-style air-conditioners are in the spotligt because of ;
(i) High air-conditioning efficiency (heating and cooling) with a heat pump system
(ii) A ductless system that controls temperature only where necessary.
