EcoHome Lab: HeatPumpMonitor.org

***

This week's event is a chance to catch up on progress with heatpumpmonitor.org, an initiative to monitor the live performance of heat pumps, which has grown out of activity by members at CarbonCoop and Open Energy Monitor. Recently on the BBC https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-64261457 the list of heat pumps being monitored is growing! The event will mostly be an open discussion about the results so far and where to take this next. Trystan from OEM will be in the Carbon Co-op office, so we'll do it as a hybrid event if you'd like to join us in person. The meeting weblink is the same as always and is revealed when you RSVP.
All welcome.

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 closely with OpenEnergyMonitor (https://openenergymonitor.org).
