Call for Spa test results issued

Pool & Spa News, March 27, 2006

The California Energy Commission, in conjunction with APSP's IAF 6 Portable Spa Standard Committee, is working to make changes to the new energy-efficiency requirements for portable spas. The regulations went into effect Jan. 1. To find a more appropriate solution to Title 20, Section 16053, of the California Appliance Efficiency Regulations, the CEC is asking spa manufacturers to send recent portable spa test results to APSP's Carvin DiGiovanni, who will act as a clearinghouse for the information and liaison to CEC.

If the manufacturers can provide sufficient evidence of where and how their spas are failing because of discrepancies in the existing requirement, CEC said it is open to rethinking the standard's formula for energy consumption. The formula is 5([V.sup.2/3]). Test information submitted will be kept confidential and reported to CEC with strict anonymity. For more info, send e-mails to cdigiovanni@theapsp.org.

    How to Win at Office Politics

    Like it or not, every workplace is a political environment. But operating effectively within it doesn’t have to mean sucking up, lying, or slinging dirt. In its purest form, office politics is simply about getting from here to there: securing a promotion, seeing an idea come to fruition, or gaining support to make an organizational change. Playing the game well is about defending your position, earning respect, exchanging favors, and keeping your sanity amid the chaos. To get started, you need to know what you really want from work, then orient your political moves toward those goals. It all starts with strong relationships and helping others; those people in return make up the support system that helps you realize your goals. Here’s how it’s done.
