ONLINE FREE courses on Home Energy Saving are to commence this month.
Clare Local Development Company (CLDC) are supporting the Home Energy Saving Course that will run over the winter months. This LEADER funded initiative will help householders to understand their home energy use and offer tips to reduce consumption and be more energy efficient.
Coming at a time when households are struggling with rising bills, the course includes a mix of in-person and online sessions.
Launched in Lisdoonvarna on Saturday, the initiative will have similar events in Scariff GAA club on Tuesday November 7th from 19:15 to 21:15 and at Kilrush Golf Club from 19:30 to 21:30 on Wednesday November 8th.
According to Lorraine Power, Community Energy Mentor with CLDC, this course will cover a range of topics to help people manage and save energy at home. “These include no and low cost measures, understanding our energy bills, insulation, heat pumps, BER’s, Solar PV and of course explaining the various grants that are available and how to avail of them. Often just changing habits in the home can save significantly on energy use and cut down on our bills”, she said.
Online training sessions which are open to everybody begin on Wednesday 15th November and run from 7.30 to 9.30pm. The course is facilitated by AstonECO on behalf of CLDC. Email carsten.krieger@astoneco.com for further details.
