Some of the churches in our programme ganged together to nominate Jean for a Church Times Green Award, and she won it! Here’s what it means for us.
We’re working on heating controls
This heating season, we’ll be working with five listed churches in Glasgow on a special project that will help them check their heating controls, but also help us improve our advice for everyone. We’re very grateful to the Glasgow City Heritage Trust for the support that lets us take this work on.
Thermal monitoring gets easier
Our groups tell us the thermal monitors really help them know what to do, but they’re too hard to use. Here’s what we’re doing about it.
Programme update
We’re still taking groups on our current programme, but we’re also thinking about some different formats that might suit groups in special situations.
What have our groups achieved?
The Scottish Episcopal Church is gathering to talk about many things this week, including their Net Zero plans. So we’re reflecting on what their groups achieved when they took on our programme.
Radiant chandeliers
This week, Jack Nevin, Net Zero Innovation Coordinator for the Scottish Episcopal Church, visited St Chad’s Bradford to attend a demonstration of the new Herschel ‘Halo’ Infrared Heater system. On this visit, Jack observed the effectiveness and sensitivity of this emerging heat system in a church environment.
Saving gas through better heating controls
If your community building’s heating controls are a bit short on energy efficiency features, part of what we do in HeatHack is meant for you. Read about how past groups have curbed their fuel use. We give help in our online guide and have a special event in Edinburgh to get you started.
Programme improvements
Our improved guide book now has everything in one place – great for those thinking about participating as well as those already involved.
Scottish Episcopal Church webinar
We are holding a webinar with the Scottish Episcopal Church about their new HeatHack-based Net Zero Workshops – Wednesday, 4 October at 7 pm. If you can’t make it, just get in touch!
