SUMMARY:EcoHome Lab: Monthly meetup and skill share
DESCRIPTION:——————————————————————————— \nNow in our regular monthly slot – every second Thursday of the month at MadLab (https://madlab.org.uk/). A hangout for people taking control of their home energy usage and generation. We use open-source hardware and software to gain a better understanding of energy in our homes\, how to make the best use of the energy we generate and reduce energy wasted. \nThis is a CarbonCo-op (https://carbon.coop/) initiative working close together with OpenEnergyMonitor (https://openenergymonitor.org). \n \n \nTopics will include: \n• Home energy monitoring. \n• House energy performance assessment \n• Sensors – electricity\, gas\, temperature\, humidity\, air quality… \n• User interfaces\, dashboards \n• Smart houses and automation \n• Aggregation of data sources \n• Taking the power back! – Making better use of the surplus power we generate \nWho is it for? \n• Anyone with skills in physical electronics\, web development or programming who wants to use that knowledge to reduce energy and carbon! \n• There will be open space for small groups to focus on adding new sensors or hacking the user interface\, there will always be a ‘newbies’ group for people interested in finding out more.

SUMMARY:Trip to Lloyd's home - part way through retrofit works!
DESCRIPTION:This November we will visit Lloyd’s home in Heald Green (South Manchester). Lloyd has been retrofitting his home over the last year\, having taken his house apart\, he has almost put it back together again! This is a great time to visit as still visible when we visit will be: \n– External Wall Insulation– Internal Wall Insulation (wood-fibre and PIR)– Window detailing– Floor insulation \nA great opportunity to speak to with Lloyd about what he has done and why. We will take our thermal imaging camera and have a look at how well the house is retaining heat! \n*Travel*Nearest station: Heald Green.Lloyd’s home is a 20 min walk or short taxi ride from the station.Aneaka will be catching the 17:34 train from Manchester Piccadilly and catching a taxi at the other end. \nIf you are making your own way there please contact Aneaka for the address. aneaka@carbon.coop \nLimited spaces\, please RSPV (http://meetu.ps/c/31QrX/zdQJQ/f)!
