Energy saving
We appreciate your cooperation in energy saving.
It’s necessary for an additional fee (actual using cost ) as an heating and an air-conditioner cost in each your room (a studio too).
We have thought that it’s more fair for the borne by the users than a raise in the room fee, because an air-conditioner and a heating electric costs has been very defferent in each user who is necessary or not it.
Because there is an artist who is also unnecessary an air-conditioner and a heating almost.
In Japan, it will be felt change of the temperature very much.
You never need to bear, but let open a windows or off your clothes when you feel hot, and let wear your clothes or layering when you feel cold.
