A question that many home owners in the Canberra region face is what to do to an existing home to improve the energy efficiency and comfort of the dwelling? Jenny will address this question using two specific local examples.
The first is an old double-brick place in Turner. Jenny’s team provided retrofit advice for this project and achieved really good results. The second is a small place in Kaleen which was reconfigured within its existing footprint. This retrofit had a larger budget than the first but is a great of example of what can be done with an existing house.
Jenny will, of course, be happy to field questions from the audience.
