Staying cool and healthy at home in an El Niño summer
Renew’s Hunter Region Branch recently held its first public meeting in Newcastle for some time. Our guest presenters were Dr John Shiel from EnviroSustain, a consultancy for low carbon buildings, and local sustainability guru and climate action advocate, John L. Hayes.
The presenters gave practical information and recommend resources on:
- installing cost-effective retrofits
- updating appliances and using them more strategically
- creating an efficient one-room Cool Retreat
- simple behavioural adaptions to stay cool and survive heatwaves.
