					  <description><![CDATA[<font color="#000000">This Empty Housing Agency in the UK&nbsp;report describes groundbreaking research into the combined embodied (built-in) and operational (in-use) carbon emissions from refurbished compared with new build houses. Using the University of Bath&#8217;s Inventory of Carbon and Energy (ICE), it shows that embodied energy is a much larger part of the lifetime carbon cost of housing than has been widely supposed. It also suggests that, even over 30-50 years, refurbishment is at least as good if not better than new build in terms of CO2 emissions. Published with the support of the Building and Social Housing Foundation</font>. <a href="http://www.emptyhomes.com/documents/publications/reports/New%20Tricks%20With%20Old%20Bricks%20-%20final%2012-03-081.pdf">Click here to read the full report</a>.&nbsp;<br/>]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[The Grand House Consortium is comprised of university students and professionals from Cambridge, Ontario and beyond, with the main objective to build a Twelve-Bedroom Student Residence. We have secured property in Cambridge&#8217;s historic downtown, and our official ground breaking happened on June 3, 2007. The Grand House Student Co-op is responsible for the design, construction, and project management and owns the residence. Each semester 12 students will call the Grand House home and be co-owners of the co-op. The project aims to be as eco-friendly as possible and is utilizing many different techniques to achieve this aim.
