Jokes aside, this solution offers an entirely different way of tackling a problem. It shouldn't be necessary to cool an entire room in many cases (single people just hanging out at home, for example--I think of my ex-roommate who always complained about the temperature, thereby running the heat or AC all day whilst at work, resulting in exorbitant energy bills).

Leave it to the resourceful Japanese...they were thinking about this more than eight years ago, before it was cool (so to speak).
