Connecting acceptance of climate change with building sustainable homes
5 October @ 13:30 - 16:00
The Off-Grid Solar House. Is it worth the effort?
Australians are coming to understand the need to design houses with climate change in mind, and they like solar energy.
Solar-powered hot water systems are one thing, but what about powering the whole house with solar batteries?
One valley home built in 2013/14 included a purpose -built solar power system that provides energy to the whole house.
Was it worth the effort and does it work? And what are key features of a house designed with climate change in mind?
These and other questions answered by Peter Hughes, valley builder, in conversation with Ilsa Konrads, off-grid house owner.
Drinks & Nibbles @ 3pm
