New research suggests energy efficiency in the home may not save energy
New research suggests that UK Government plans to achieve an 80% reduction in the CO2 emissions from existing UK homes by 2050 may be unrealistic because householders use energy efficiency initiatives to make their homes more comfortable rather than to save energy.

TRPA Seeks Consultation Services for Code Update
The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) is in the process of updating its Regional Plan for the first time since 1987. The Plan includes Goals and Policies, Plan Area Statements (zoning), and the Code of Ordinances. Though there have been a variety of Code amendments since 1987, the Code is scheduled for a targeted overhaul concurrent with the Regional Plan process, which is scheduled for completion in 2011. The overhaul of the Code will be accomplished in two stages. The first stage involves cleaning up the existing Code. The second stage involves drafting new code language based on the updated Plan.
