The Real Thing

 We are running a series of regular, monthly, informal evening conversations where you can hear from people who have real-life experience of a particular technology.

Please check the "Upcoming events" listing on the left of the website for details of upcoming events, including Real Thing events.

Other sessions we have already had include:

Sessions we are considering holding in the future include:

  • insulating Victorian Buildings the Ar'Chick way
  • upgrading a Victorian building to the PassivHaus specification
  • Secondary glazing
  • Electric vehicles
  • Biodiesel vehicles
  • PV ?
  • Planning issues, esp in conservation area
  • Loft insulation
  • Wood-buring stoves?
  • Grey water systems?
  • Centralised heating systems – many people don’t know about these and I don’t think we’re going to build support for CHP by trying to ignore the problems there have been in the past; we need to build public awareness so we get decent properly functioning centralised heating systems in future with controls…
  • Solar gain
  • LED lighting
  • Smart heating control (room thermostats etc)

Join the conversation about this series of events on our forum if you have any comments.
