Energy Efficiency Open Weekend
Learn to make your home more energy efficient this weekend at The Engine Shed when it opens its doors this weekend for a free, family-friendly event run by Historic Environment Scotland (HES).
About Energy Efficiency Open Weekend
The Energy Efficiency Open Weekend will offer tips on retrofitting historic buildings to reduce their energy needs while maintaining the traditional materials and design that make the buildings so special. Visitors do not need to have any technical expertise or knowledge beyond an interest in making their homes or other buildings more energy efficient.
Come see first-hand how traditional skills and modern technology work together. Experience The Howff, a cutting-edge immersive experience, visit the Digital Imaging Lab, and see a giant 3D printer up close.
The HES Technical Education and Training team will also be running an interactive craft zone to give visitors the opportunity to learn the basics of stonemasonry through soap carving and expand their architectural skills with construction games. Colouring pages and bee bomb making activities will be available for younger guests.
Experts will also be available to discuss learnings from common retrofitting techniques that have been used throughout Scotland and direct people to additional resources to further their knowledge.
Sessions will run promptly from 10:30a-12:30p and 1:30p-3:30p on both Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th November. Advance booking is not required.
Additional information is available on The Engine Shed website.
