About Jeff Knowles
Jeff Knowles returned to Canberra with his family in 1963 and spent the next 20 years in schooling and his first university time here. After returning in 2000, Jeff and his partner built a full solar passive house in Jerrabomberra and worked in both education and sustainability – opening the home on many occasions over the next 15 years for what has become Sustainable House Day. The house incorporates many features that make it ideal for living well (and with a light ‘footprint’) in the ACT region.
Jeff has been involved in several (ACT Government based) sustainability programs to firstly help renters with high energy bills and more recently has taken the lead in a pilot programme to bring the ‘Scorecard’ residential efficiency program to the ACT region. Jeff is proud as a local to be educating and leading in this important area of sustainability.
Jeff is a life long learner. At present he is completing a Cert IV in Home Energy Efficiency and Sustainability through ‘Transformed’.
