[Stoves] Principles - draft from 2011

[Jock Gill]

Perhaps these will be of interest to those working on "standards".  There is far more to stoves than simple "performance" characteristics.  In the best of all possible worlds, stoves are able to contribute much more than clean stack gasses.  It would be desirable to look at the full spectrum of potential benefits when evaluating stoves. In the developed economies at least, the saying is that "benefits sell".  The implication is that features are not as powerful a motivations for adoption.

Please remember that this is only a first draft.  I did send it to the State Department in 2011,  but they never replied.  

I look forward to your thoughts.

Regards,
