DESCRIPTION:*Abstract:* For forty years the Government has tried to cut en
 ergy use in UK homes. Energy efficiency in housing has always jockeyed wit
 h other priorities\, but recent concerns about climate change have forced 
 our homes' carbon emissions to centre stage. How successful have we been\,
  though\, in meeting climate change targets for housing? \n \n*Biography:*
  Jason Palmer has 11 years experience as a consultant to building designer
 s and government agencies. His doctorate focused on environmental manageme
 nt for smaller organisations\, and he now works on sustainable constructio
 n and climate change. Dr Palmer joined CAR in 2002 and became a director i
 n 2003. There are two main strands to his work. First\, he works for the D
 epartment of Education analysing sustainable schools. Second\, he works fo
 r the DTI\, the Energy Saving Trust\, the Scottish Government and the Depa
 rtment for Energy and Climate Change on climate change policy.
