Energy Efficiency Topics
After looking at the pages I proposed again, I would create a new topic for home energy rating, but would recommend just adding a section about the US on the 'global' White Certificates page in the pratical applications section. White certificates, white tags, and energy efficiency tags are all essentially the same thing, but called something differnet depending on where you live. I would recommend all searches being re-directed to the white certificates section. I could of course a brand new page, though, for energy efficiency certicates if you beleive it will be more accurate, and just have a link on the global white certificates page. There is no rush so let's of course continue to talk all of this over! Efficiency84 04:45, 21 June 2007 (UTC)


 * You've clearly been thinking about it carefully, so do as you suggest. The great thing about Wikipedia is that it's always possible to change things later. Though that pre-thinking is a good process to go through first! Do drop by if you'd like to discuss further. Gralo 10:13, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Here is a rough idea of what I plan to say under Practical Applications for White Certificates

Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Nevada have Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standards and Energy Efficiency Credit (white certificates) trading. More states are expected to follow and national legislation is being proposed.

There is also a market where large corporations are purchasing energy efficiency credits as a way of meeting their corporate commitments to reduce their carbon footprints.

Turned out to be pretty minimal, since there is already a page for white certificates! I think I'll create another page that copies and pastes this but calls it energy efficiency trading. Some of these new concepts are really confusing because there isn't a global standard term. I'll finish up my home energy rating article over the weekend. Efficiency84 16:55, 22 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Looks good. Just as well you checked that the subject was already started before writing too much. A couple of questions: Does that market have an official name that you could include? Is there a citation (i.e. a web link) you can include that mentions the proposed legislation? Gralo 17:07, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I forgot to say "voluntary market." I don't think there is an official name for it, but individual companies have pledged to reduce their emmissions and participate in a voluntary market for reducing their carbon footprint. As for naitonal legislation, I am searching right now, and the senate just passed an energy bill at midnight I believe, so I will have to see what the status of everything is now.Efficiency84 18:34, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Efficient energy use
Thought we needed this page, so I started it, but it could do with expansion. -- Johnfos 04:32, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:HERSyardstick.gif


A tag has been placed on File:HERSyardstick.gif requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.
