What can we do to reduce the amount of energy we use? Homes can be engineered to maintain comfort without a heating system, according to Tony Cowling, a director of the Reading Hydro Project and Reading Community Energy Society in England. Tony thinks Energy Use Reduction should be our number one priority. In this session, Cowling catalogs the myriad ways to retrofit homes for reduced energy use.
This is the audio from a session held as part of the Planet in Crisis – Creating Action for COP26 global online summit. In November 2020, exactly one year before the official COP26 climate conference, Scientists Warning Europe organised this series of online Pre-COP events to raise awareness, push the conversation, show demand, and drive real action. Over 25 events were attended by more than 2,000 people from across the globe.
