SUMMARY:EcoHome Lab: Monthly meetup and skill share
DESCRIPTION:*** \nNow in our regular monthly slot – every second Thursday of the month. 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. \nCatch up on [some of our previous sessions and presentations](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiz1gBPXWVAJ4hzg3zj72hVrXVJgWvzOG). \nUnless there’s a specific title to the session\, it means we have no scheduled speaker and it will be an open session. We welcome contributions. \nThis is a CarbonCo-op (https://carbon.coop/) initiative working close together with OpenEnergyMonitor (https://openenergymonitor.org). \nhttp://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/3/d/c/e/600_397215822.jpeg \nhttp://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/3/e/0/a/600_397215882.jpeg \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:EcoHome Lab: HEMS 2.0 and plans for 2024
DESCRIPTION:*** \nCarbon Co-op’s Home Energy Management System (HEMS) is a fleet managed Raspberry Pi\, controlling high load devices (EV\, battery\, immersion etc) in response to [OpenADR](https://www.openadr.org/assets/docs/DTECH2015/what%20is%20openadr.pdf) signals from our [PowerShaper Flex](https://flex.powershaper.io/) service. We’ve now reached the end of [REScoop VPP](https://www.rescoopvpp.eu/) – a 3 year project testing the system in the houses of energy co-operative members in Belgium\, Spain\, Germany\, France and the UK. \nWith the end of project\, we are free to revisit the tech stack and our aspirations for device control to support domestic flexibility. As ever we are keen to hear you ideas! \nCatch up on [some of our previous sessions and presentations](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiz1gBPXWVAJ4hzg3zj72hVrXVJgWvzOG). \nThis is a CarbonCo-op (https://carbon.coop/) initiative working close together with OpenEnergyMonitor (https://openenergymonitor.org). \nhttp://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/3/d/c/e/600_397215822.jpeg \nhttp://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/3/e/0/a/600_397215882.jpeg \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!

SUMMARY:Indoor Air Quality and Ventilation
DESCRIPTION:Discover cleaner indoor air solutions on Jan 27\, 2024\, at 10 AM\, covering health impacts\, ventilation basics\, and retrofit planning.\n\n\nIf you are planning a retrofit project\, either staged or all in one go\, this training is highly recommended. However\, this workshop is for anyone concerned about the health impacts of their living environment.   Find out how you can tackle damp and mould and create a fresh feeling\,  making sure your home stays healthy as you improve its energy efficiency.   \nDuring the  session you will:  \n1.	Revisit the idea of the Whole House Approach and why ventilation is important when planning retrofit works. \n2.	Learn about indoor air quality and it’s impacts on your health \n3.	Cover some basics around ventilation  \n4.	Understand standards and regulations \n5.	Take a look at ventilation systems and understand which kind of system is best suited to your home \n6.	Gain a list of simple things to do now \nThis workshop is one of a series of three\, aimed at householders interested in learning more about the basics of retrofit\, applying this to your home and sharing knowledge and learning with other local residents. \nHebden Royd Town Council\, working with Carbon Co-op\, aims to empower residents in Hebden Bridge to explore the possibilities of retrofitting their homes\, creating cosier spaces\, reducing energy bills\, and improving the efficiency of their homes through knowledge sharing\, workshop events\, and technology. \nPlease note: These workshops are aimed at householders who want to learn more about retrofit. This is not a workshop for people working in the supply chain or seeking to promote a specific product or service – we will ask salespeople to leave the session.
