Free Thermal Imaging Survey
Do you
want to check that your house insulation is up to scratch?
Energy bills are increasing and costing more money every year. Costs can be reduced by making sure our houses are well insulated and not losing unnecessary heat to the outside. Taking a thermal image of a house can show where the heat is being lost and where homes can be better insulated and therefore need less energy to heat it.
Greening Chinnor with support from Haddenham in Transition will be carrying out a free thermal image survey for 30 Chinnor households towards the end of January 2014. This will involve taking a series of infrared thermal images of the outside of your house to see areas of heat loss. The survey needs to be taken in the evening when there is at least a 10% difference in the indoor/outdoor temperature. The survey does not take long and should be completed within a half hour. Once all the images have been processed, a household report will be compiled. Greening Chinnor will organise a public meeting to enable you to see your data on a one to one basis. As part of this process Greening Chinnor will organise UK Government information to assist you in reducing unnecessary heat loss.
If you are interested please supply your contact information to Maureen Dyroff at mdyroff@tiscali.co.uk or telephone 01844 352816. There is a limit of 30 households and the list will close once this number has been reached. All successful households will be contacted once the list is completed.

Update on White's Field Hedging Project
We are pleased to report that the hedging planted last
autumn is doing extremely well. Our input this year has only involved a bit of
tidying. However we have planted some fennel and raspberries. We will add a few
more herbs and food plants in the autumn and early 2014.
Don't forget the purpose is to create a wildlife and particularly bee friendly section of the village.
