EcoHome Lab: Monthly meetup and skill share

***

Happy new year all! We've no scheduled presentations for this week, so let me know if you've something exciting you'd like to share.

Now in our regular monthly slot - every second Thursday of the month. A hangout for people taking control of their home energy usage and generation. We use open-source hardware and software to gain a better understanding of energy in our homes, how to make the best use of the energy we generate and reduce energy wasted.

This is a CarbonCo-op (http://carbon.coop/) initiative working close together with OpenEnergyMonitor (https://openenergymonitor.org).
