An Energy Descent Action Plan will be the core component of any vision for the future of Cheltenham.
What we've done:
• On Apr 27, 2010, organized an energy conservation workshop
led
by Transition Cheltenham's Grahame E Maisey, PE & Energy Master
Planner
and Laura Blau AIA Certified Passive House Designer & Energy
Auditor.
Learned how homes and community buildings could begin
a
transformation from energy users to energy producers.
• Created the
Home Greening Guide, providing short medium
and long-term
strategies for reducing energy use in your home.
• Researched and shared knowledge about
how to choose electric suppliers
who generate electricity from
clean renewable sources.
• Created an
Energy
Master Plan for a home in Glenside, typical of homes in our
township.
• Join us as we chart Cheltenham's baseline carbon footprint and
embark on building a serious Energy Descent Action Plan.
