We are going to host a new drop-in at Spooky Boogie on Sunday June 21st between 2-3pm. Our aim is to come to the community and meet you where you are most comfortable. We imagine over the next few months to host these at various places that locals go. We want to make it as easy as possible for you to get answers about how you can change your home energy usage.

Previous Events

Find out how you can reduce your bills and slash your emissions by upgrading your fossil fuel machines to the electric equivalents available today, and powering them with solar and batteries for more self-sufficiency.

Come and chat with community members who’ve electrified their homes, businesses and transport.
Learn how you can too – saving money and emissions.
In this Electrify Everything discussion event you’ll meet others in your community who’ve made their lives more fossil fuel free. When we come together and share knowledge, we all learn and get more powerful.
How electric are our homes really?
Our lights, dishwashers and ovens are mostly electric, but lots of households burn fossil fuels for water heating, space heating, driving, working outdoors and cooking.
When we electrify everything in our home, we replace some or all of these fossil fuel machines, over time, with much more efficient electric equivalents. Come and talk with local community members who have chosen to use more electric machines in their lives, saving money and emissions, future proofing their homes and businesses.

The Passive House standard is about making buildings as energy efficient as possible, by improving the building fabric, before adding energy generation.
However, there is a tension between making buildings as energy efficient as possible and then electrifying them or electrifying everything and then working on energy efficiency later. Rewiring Aotearoa have been doing some excellent work advocating for electrifying machines across the motu and have looked into this issue from their perspective.
Our buildings are machines; small and large, they are numerous in New Zealand. If we electrify everything should we make our machines as efficient as possible too?
We intend having a educational, fun filled discussion about the way forward for our Aotearoa abodes.
