Or even move to a house that is more cost effective to heat and cool. Consider the total cost of ownership. It can be the case that there are houses constructed during the cheap energy era that are wasteful and it may make sense to buy a house that is more cost effective to heat and cool. The most important thing to keep in mind is that people built cheap houses and ended up paying for the whole time they live there to heat and cool the house. Using a jargon: They don't consider the total cost of ownership. Plus, (what has no price) the low quality of life. This is the case of Curitiba, where there's a micro-clima typical of that area and people build houses as if they were in the coast line. Houses are cold in the winter and hot in the summer. I'm using Ideas of Australia which has the weather that the closest resemble Southern Brazil. greenhouse.gov.au

I printed out the parts of the new law that apply to consumers and homeowners -- I've been in the law biz for 20 or so years and got headaches trying to follow it. Example: SEC. 1333. CREDIT FOR CERTAIN NONBUSINESS ENERGY PROPERTY. (a) In General.--Subpart A of part IV of subchapter A of chapter 1 (relating to nonrefundable personal credits) is amended by inserting after section 25B the following new section: ``SEC. 25C. NONBUSINESS ENERGY PROPERTY. ``(a) Allowance of Credit.--In the case of an individual, there shall be allowed as a credit against the tax imposed by this chapter for the taxable year an amount equal to the sum of-- ``(1) 10 percent of the amount paid or incurred by the taxpayer for qualified energy efficiency improvements installed during such taxable year, and ``(2) the amount of the residential energy property expenditures paid or incurred by the taxpayer during such taxable year. frwebgate.access.gpo.gov
