GEELONG Sustainability has launched a one stop directory to help you increase home comfort and reduce your energy usage!<\/p>\n

Launched mid-June, just in time for the coldest winter months, the Energy Tips website is designed to increase comfort in your home or office, reduce your bills and carbon footprint.<\/p>\n

The website not only provides information and training to help increase the comfort of your home, but also offers advice on reducing your power bills.<\/p>\n

With the cost of electricity and gas increasing rapidly, the urgency to provide a free resource for the community is more important than ever.<\/p>\n

Executive Officer for Geelong Sustainability, Dan Cowdell, acknowledges the need for more accessible information on energy efficiency.<\/p>\n

\u201cHousing in Australia has traditionally been built without much regard for energy efficiency,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany people are not sure where to start, so this website provides a really easy way to find out more information.\u201d<\/p>\n

The site includes information for renters and homeowners alike, featuring DIY videos that help people markedly improve the efficiency and comfort of homes and offices<\/p>\n

To ensure they had the most relevant and up to date information on the website, Geelong Sustainability engaged Tim Forcey, a qualified home energy advisor with over 12 years experience providing advice to residents on how they can increase the efficiency and comfort of their homes.<\/p>\n

He is also the creator of the rapidly growing Facebook group My Efficient Electric Home, which now has over 50,000 members.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was important for us to ensure the information we used on the website was accurate and up to date,\u201d Mr Cowdell said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is nobody more qualified to speak on this than Tim\u201d.<\/p>\n

The website was developed by the Community Power Hub Barwon South West, with funding from Sustainability Victoria on behalf of the Victorian Government.<\/p>\n
