Retrofit for Renters

All the science backed tips and tricks to make your home more comfortable through the seasons

Join Jenny Edwards and Bianca Knox for an online workshop on ways you can improve the thermal performance of your home without breaking the bank.

Participants will learn about air leakage and the role this plays in the temperature of your house with ways to navigate the negatives that come with this in each season.

You’ll learn how to identify obvious leaky gaps in your home and what you can do about this. We will also talk about ways to protect your house from heat in the summer and answer any questions.

Tickets required!
