A series of free workshops for residents will focus on energy efficiency measures and their DIY installation, writes Edinburgh World Heritage's Chiara Ronchini.

The idea is to have practical workshops where residents learn how to install very simple energy efficiency measures in order to prepare their homes for winter and save money. The three October sessions aim at targeting the whole house from floors and doors, to windows and lofts.

The workshops will run at Greenworks, 20 Graham Street from 2pm–5pm as follows:

  • Saturday 15 October: Draught-proofing your home
  • Sunday 16 October: Wooden shutters
  • Saturday 22 October: Loft insulation.

To get involved, first book your place: email chiararonchini@ewht.org.uk or Tel. 220 7734.

(The workshops will be run in partnership with Greenworks, a not-for-profit social enterprise for sustainable building and hands-on eco-workshops.)
