From Cold House to Cozy Home: Overcoming the Challenges of Energy Efficiency in Tasmanian Buildings
The next event in our popular series of sustainable building talks will help you transform your home into a sustainable, comfortable living space. Discover the science of passive solar design, embodied energy, and the prevention of mould.
The talk will examine star ratings, whole-of-home assessments, efficiency of appliances, and renewable energy. Nerd alert: the speakers will also crunch some numbers on hot water, insulation and return on investment.
Panellists:
• Uta Green – Architect with a focus on environmentally sustainable design
• Dr Rebecca Boyle – Energy Assessor

![Open House Hobart and the Emerging Architects and Graduates Network (EmAGN) Tasmania @emagn_tas would like to thank everyone who kindly bid in this year's annual Sheltered [Ground] Silent Auction.
We watched the last-minute bidding war on some items (looking at your chair, @other_furniture_) with absolute glee; because, together, you helped raise over $8000 for the Hobart Women's Shelter @hobartwomensshelter. Legends. THANK YOU!!
If you missed out on an item, but you'd still like to support HWS, please head to the link in bio to make a donation. Your financial help plays a critical role in supporting service delivery and therapeutic programs, and fund strategic projects such as building long-term homes. Such programs provide opportunities for women and children to lead independent and fulfilling lives.
Finally, congratulations to those who outbid everyone else – enjoy your beautiful pieces, knowing there's a string of jealous individuals who missed out. Don't worry! We'll do it all again next year.
