 | Dense - more highlights |
 | I have to say that downloading a 109 page document and printing it at home (on recycled paper but much more ink and most people single sided) is probably having a greater impact than SDC printing on recycled paper and mailing out. I am about to request a paper copy. It just does not work reading documents like this on a screen. |
| Seems thorough and professional. Was looking for periority measures to get 'carbon' savings Found it in Box 4 P.29 but puzzled by seming lack of correspondence with Delivered Energy Efficiency. Would appreciate 'field' examples of good house design. |

| The publication, quite correctly, recognises that minimum regulatory standards are vital to establish a level playing field and to push forwards. However the equalisation of VAT is a rather crude tool for achieving this. Revenue neutral should not be the overiding issue (as it appears to be). Included in this 'costing' should be the mitigation and security of supply costs bourne elsewhere. Lastly where is the incentive to improve over minimum standards (used elsewhere in Europe) - what a bout VAT (and council tax) reductions for higher performance buildings; the higher spend would generate more revenue, even at lower rates. |
| Long winded - with some useful summaries. Misses point that major energy consumption is in transport from existing houses to new places of work and new shopping facilities - Integrated planning is key to efficient economy and life style. |
| Very interesting report with some innovative policy solutions - but what a challenge!! |

| Who's going to wade throught all that? |
| It contained a lot of valuable information- as all reports from the Sustainable Commision do, however the layout was dreadful - why not try and make it like the one u did on, 'Is nuclear the answer'; that was much easier to read! |
| Very thorough report with sensible recommendations which should be taken up |
