to 20 Sept

Sustainable House Day 2020

  • Google Calendar ICS

Check out properties from all around Australia in a virtual event organised by Renew … places we’d never dream of being able to get to in one day.

Homes will be presented from 12th September leading up to the main event on Sunday September 20th … an event like a virtual conference, with a range of presentation and “question and answer” sessions running concurrently.

Woodend Neighbourhood House Winter Energy Improvement Project

The Sustainable Homes Action Group, with support from the Renewable Energy Action Group, is planning a morning of retrofitting at the Woodend Neighbourhood House. We’ll be working on draughtproofing windows and doors and applying secondary glazing (a layer of Perspex inside the window glass as a DIY alternative to double glazing). Let us know if you’d like to join in, by email to susthomes@mrsg.org.au, by about 19th June, so we can organise teams mindful of social distancing requirements.

The WNH Winter Energy Improvement Project is supported by the Federal Government “Stronger Communities” Programme.
