this city has, then the potential of improving energy efficiency  would 
be yield similar results to the success of the blue box.

Interesting, but a single image certainly can't be definitive at the
level of individual households.  If I go away for the weekend
and drop my thermostat setting, I'll have an R2000 heat loss
profile for a couple of days... ;-)
