I live in small town on NZ coast. Air is very clean. Mosquitos and neighbor's wood burners don't care. ERV is top 3 item in my house (other than induction cooktop and Japanese toilets).

(ok nodding to ERV and induction cooktops, but what is a japanese toilet and why are they better?

Haven't heard of them from grand-designs and those kind of youtubers)

- auto lid open and close - heated seat - water jet to clean buttocks with subsequent warm air blower - relaxing music speaker (to drown out your defecating sounds and get you started)

just some ideas what some (public)/most (nice home) japanese toilets offer, which might be hard to come by anywhere else

> hard to come by

They are $200-300 online. Not Toto quality, but plenty good enough.

This is the first I've heard of auto lid open and close!

Only available on expensive models. Seat heating and washing are the key features.
