Result of Cool Biz Campaign
On October 28, 2005, the MOE announced results of the Cool Biz campaign. The MOE conducted a web-based questionnaire survey on the Cool Biz campaign on September 30, 2005, covering some 1,200 men and women randomly extracted from an Internet panel recruited by a research company. Survey results indicate that 95.8% of respondents knew Cool Biz, and 32.7% of 562 respondents answered that their offices set the air conditioner thermostat higher than in previous years. Based on these figures, the ministry estimated that the campaign resulted in a 460,000-ton reduction in CO2 emission, the equivalent volume of CO2 emitted by about 1 million households for one month.
The results for 2006 were even better, resulting in an estimated 1.14 million-ton reduction in CO2 emission, the equivalent to the CO2 emissions by about 2.5 million households for one month.
The ministry has also stated that it intends to continue encouraging people to set summer office temperatures at no lower than 28°C as well as to work to have the Cool Biz concept take permanent root in society.

Retreat from too much joy or too much fear:
We grow sea-green at last and coldly die
In brininess and volubility.”
