Discover practical and affordable ways to keep your home cooler during summer without relying on air conditioning or expensive renovations. In this engaging workshop, Rin shares real-life solutions that have been successfully implemented and tested in her own home, using data gathered through thermal camera monitoring.

Participants will explore the effectiveness of different cooling strategies, from paint colour choices and window treatments to the impact of trees, gazebos, furniture placement, and awnings.

This workshop is packed with practical ideas that can be applied by homeowners, renters, and anyone looking to stay comfortable while reducing energy use and costs.
