Retrofitting existing houses for energy efficiency

This month’s quest speakers are Lyn and Maurice Beinat.

The discussion group will examine how to improve the low energy efficiency standards of Australia’s existing housing stock. Currently, energy-intensive heating and cooling of homes cause high levels of greenhouse gas emissions.

Who better to discuss these issues than people who are already out there doing it. Through their company ecoMaster, Lyn and Maurice Beinat are pioneers in retrofitting existing houses for energy efficiency. They will discuss insulation, draft proofing, double glazing and heating/cooling in the context of housing sector energy efficiency policy opportunities.
