Thursday 29th June 2023 from 10am -12.30pm – at St Ninian’s Craigmailen Parish Church, Linlithgow. HeatHack’s energy efficiency and thermal comfort event for community venues and churches will be taking place in Linlithgow. HeatHack offer a free programme funded by the Royal Academy of Engineering to help improve energy efficiency and thermal comfort in community […]
A couple of groups have asked about how to check whether they have insulation and specifically about thermal imaging. We’re happy to receive improvements to what we’ve told them.
What if a building currently has to heat lots of rooms any time one of them is in use? It’s a common problem. We discuss the possible solutions.
Some of our engineers have asked for more help to interpret their temperature data. We’ve written down some of what we look for, and offer individual help as needed.
In our programme, we pair volunteer engineers with community groups to understand what a net zero future holds for their venues. Groups who are interested often ask us, “What is an engineer exactly, and who counts?” You might find the answer surprising.
Many of our venues are asking for advice about grants to make improvements to their buildings. Here’s the “big picture” view.
Thermal imaging produces pretty pictures, but is it useful? We once set a masters student to answer that very question.
What are HeatHack sessions like? Here’s what groups do in each one.
We have a new recruitment presentation – if you are helping us find new groups to take part, please feel free to use it.
Here’s an existing heating control problem in a set of halls – one thing our engineers help communities think about during our programme.
