Greater Shepparton City Council invites community members to attend the 'Cool Down Your Home This Summer' event with energy auditor and expert Geoff Lodge, taking place at 6.30pm on Thursday 21 November at the Shepparton Library or online.
The session will focus on practical strategies to reduce the impact of summer heat in homes. Geoff will cover topics such as effective insulation, boosting energy efficiency and making the most of natural ventilation. Attendees will get valuable insights on how to create a more comfortable living space while also lowering energy bills.
The talk will be followed by a Q&A session, allowing participants to ask Geoff questions specific to their own homes and situations. Refreshments will be provided and in-person attendees will have an opportunity to win a draught proofing kit - perfect for making homes energy efficient all year round.
The event is free to attend, however bookings are essential. To secure your spot, please phone the Shepparton Library on 1300 374 765 or visit Humanitix here. The talk will be available both in person and online. When registering, make sure to select the correct ticket. If attending online, a link will be provided closer to the event date.
Greater Shepparton City Council’s Manager Environment, Sharon Terry, encouraged residents to attend the event and secure their spot.
“This is a great opportunity to get some firsthand advice on how to create a more comfortable living space while also reducing your energy bills this summer. Greater Shepparton residents will get their questions answered from an energy expert, while receiving useful tips to practice at home,” she said.
“We invite the community to join this free event and secure their spot by registering in advance. The last energy efficiency event had a wonderful response, so this time the event will be also available online, so residents unable to attend in person can still take advantage of the valuable information provided.”
