Residents can now hire a DIY home energy audit kit from the Subiaco Library to help them to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and save on energy costs at home.
The kit was provided thanks to the Energy Efficiency Pilot Program, funded by the State Government, and facilitated by Switch Your Thinking.
It contains a thermal camera, a power mate energy monitor, a flowrate measuring cup, and an energy efficiency thermometer, as well as an instructional manual explaining how to conduct a variety of tests, tips to reduce energy and water use, and more.
The kits are just one of a range of tools to help residents contribute towards a greener future.
Mayor David McMullen said, “The City is working hard to contribute to action against climate change including maintaining our certified carbon neutral status, transitioning to more electric fleet vehicles, and working towards 100 per cent renewable energy – just to name a few examples.
“While we’re acting at an organisational level, it’s important for us to help residents make a difference in their own homes and neighbourhoods by supporting initiatives like this DIY home energy audit kit and making it readily available to our community.
“This free resource can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions at home and potentially reduce energy costs at the same time.”
The kit is now available for loan from the Subiaco Library.
