Was a really good evening, about 30 folk attended including the speakers, all very interested, had a job getting everyone out of the hall by 10pm!  The panel discussion worked very well and Kirsty Tooke from DARE complimented the speakers' expertise nicely. 

We hope to start a thermal imaging survey service for Sustainable Crediton supporters this winter.

Our speakers are Brian Harper and Mukti Mitchell who will be offering practical tips to make our homes more energy efficient and warm in the winter.

Brian Harper runs Energy Tracers. Energy Tracers is a company that does thermal imaging surveys inside people's homes to identify draughts and areas of heat loss through poor insulation. They are working with other Transition organisations like us. Brian will cover how to assess homes for heat loss and figures on typical heat loss through different parts of the home. 

Mukti Mitchell sailed around Britain in a 6 month voyage in the revolutionary zero-emission Explorer Microyacht, to promote the benefits of low carbon living. The tour visited forty ports including Swansea, Liverpool, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Newcastle, London and Southampton, liaising with regional and national media to reach an audience of 12 million. His message is that low carbon lifestyles - a life that creates less carbon dioxide - is easy, fun, saves money and improves your quality of life. Mukti has written a book "The Guide to Low Carbon Lifestyles" which is downloadable free of charge. Mukti will be talking about his trip around Britain and how this led to meeting his current business partner and starting CosyHome Company.  He will then  move on to how to treat heat loss, esp. Loft Insulation, Draught Proofing and Secondary Glazing, but also a little on wall and floor insulation. 

We are also planning to have DARE, the Devon Association of Renewable Energy present to offer general advice on energy efficiency.
