  • Seeing in Colour with Community Energy Birmingham. 2-4pm, Upper Gallery, OPW

    Community Energy Birmingham (CEB) is running the Seeing in Colour project (funded by the University of Birmingham) to host free thermal imaging workshops and evening walks in your
    neighbourhood. These events will help local residents grow their understanding of heat loss in homes.

    CEB are a non-profit organisation who have experience since 2012 in delivering projects which improve the city of Birmingham’s relationship with energy.

    Our thermal camera classes will show you:

    • Sources of heat loss and humidity from homes – which could potentially make your home more comfortable, healthier AND cheaper to run (subject to the practicality of implementing
      solutions).
    • To ‘See in Colour’ by learning how to use a handheld thermal camera from one of our expert demonstrators. You would have the opportunity to use this camera on your house
      during a neighbourhood walk.
    • Our team can then advise you on:
    • ‘Do it yourself’ solutions (like changing heating schedules or draught proofing)
    • Funding available for home efficiency improvements (e.g. loft insulation, wall insulation, solar panels).
      Take this opportunity to help you and your neighbours in the journey to comfortable and healthy homes. For more info contact Joe from the University of Birmingham or Beate from CEB, by e-mailing j.k.day@bham.ac.uk or info@communityenergybirmingham.coop

    This is an excellent educational opportunity for families with complimentary snacks and hot/soft drinks provided.
