Sustainable homes webinars

In 2023 the Regional Climate Partnerships (AdaptWest, Resilient East, Resilient South, and Resilient Hills and Coasts) delivered a series of webinars on a range of sustainability and climate ready homes topics.  Topics were designed to support renters, home owners and landlords and included:

  • practical steps to cut energy bills and make your home more comfortable all year round
  • incorporating sustainable design techniques, and using resilient building materials when renovating your home
  • how to use water efficiently inside your home and in your garden
  • switching to ‘all electric’ and using renewable energy.

The webinars were presented by by sustainable home and energy experts from Renew, who have been providing independent information on household sustainability for over 40 years.
