My Home Energy and Water Efficiency Kits will be soon available for you to borrow from your local library.
The kits are designed to help households get a better understanding of how their homes use energy and water and identify areas for improvement. Measuring your energy and water use at home, will help you identify where you can reduce usage to lower your bills and reduce emissions to tackle climate change.
Residents will have access to energy meters to check the electricity consumption of plug-in appliances, thermal imaging cameras to identify areas of heat loss, and water-monitoring devices to reduce water usage.
The kits will be launch on Tues 30 April (7 - 8.30pm) in an online session where expert Lucinda Flynn, will be presenting the new My Home Energy and Water Efficiency Kits. She will also be providing information about how to prepare your home to stay warm throughout winter.
