Gov't Recs

I absolutely love the USA government's recs for energy efficiency. Please, please make this happen!!

Especially:

[*Creating an “energy performance label” for existing homes. New homes, the report notes, can get an “Energy Star” label reflecting relatively low energy usage, but existing ones cannot. The government proposes to fix that, and also develop a “national home energy performance measure.”]

Make every single home have a HERS rating or existing home equivalent. There isn't an existing home performance label yet. I can't wait for this! My body is aching for it. I'd so run that program for my work!! Love renovation work.

Also:

[*Establish uniform national standards for training and certifying workers in the energy-efficiency business.]

I need this now! Please!!! Read the other recs in the report link above. They are very good.
