There is no such thing as "energy waste". You just use abundance of energy. It is like throwing money at a problem. If energy is available limitless, why would you care? Lucky americans. Poor germans.

Energy waste here is simply economic inefficiency.

Drive the cost of production low enough and uninsulated structures aren’t wasteful, but we aren’t there yet.
