Are you feeling the cold? Do you remember how hot your house was in summer? Do you want to have a more energy efficient house, without having to move or build a new one?
In this interactive workshop Shani and Tim from Ecoburbia will teach you about the principles of basic solar passive design and how you can use those principles to save gas and electricity in your home. Many low or no cost actions will be covered in depth.
