Waimarie (Hamilton East Community Centre, 53 Wellington Street, Hamilton)
• We will start with the 3 ways a house uses energy spatial heating and cooling, hot water production and appliances and lighting and how to reduce energy use in all these areas. We will also address how to increase the thermal performance of the building so that occupants can be warm and healthy.
• Then we’ll take a look at how the house uses the “3 Waters”; supply, storm-water, and waste, and the initiatives we can employ in these areas.
• We then look at any aspects of the building that may be affecting the occupants’ health. And finally how to do all of this while minimising waste for landfill.
If you are considering retrofitting your house or just have a passing interest please join us.
