Mick will talk about how they made their decision, what they have achieved and the insights they have gained. Whether you are considering a small or large investment to reduce your energy bills, Mick’s talk will be of interest to you. Mick has been a managing director, a hop grower and a cherry grower.
💡Meet Colm - There are lots of ways to improve energy efficiency of old housing stock. One of the cheapest and easiest ways to reduce energy bills from heating or cooling is with draft sealing of doors and windows. Colm operated a draft sealing business for 30 years across Australia and Ireland and is offering forum attendees free draft sealing material that can be used on wooden doors or windows to eliminate drafts.
💡Meet Lissa - Lissa will share some of the simple things that Okines has done to reduce our electricity bills by about 40% in the past year. Focused mostly on behaviour change and replacing equipment with more energy efficient options at the end of their life.
💡Meet Joe - from Maximum Solar, Joe will share information about how to decide if solar power would work for you.
This event is being organized by the the Energy Efficiency Project Group, one of the Project Groups that formed out for the Southern Beaches 2040 Community Resilience Project, so a huge thanks to these volunteer community members for bringing this together!
