My Home Network - Rental Energy Efficiency [English]

A huge thanks to Warwick Jones who very kindly donated his time and wonderful expertise in making this 10 min video based on the content of a workshop My Home Network did with the local West End Resilience Network (WER) on tenants rights, rental energy efficiency and understanding and reducing your rental utilities bills, and accessing supports and concessions.

 

The workshop was held and the video made because we recognise renters don’t have the same agency or capacity to retrofit their rentals as this depends on the landlords but there are no or low cost measures they can take. We also recognise that social housing and private rentals are often the worst housing in terms of energy efficiency so renters pay a disproportionate amount on heating and cooling hence also the information on their rights, supports and concessions.

 

Thanks too to Deb Pach, Frankie Nugent, Barry Murfett, Wade Roberts and West End Resilience Network for their time and expertise.

This video will soon be uploaded onto the WER website WEST END RESILIENCE.

 

The video  has already been well received regionally and statewide. Libraries and some Councils are keen to roll the subtitled version on public screens and refugee and migrant communities wish it translated in various languages.
