Comments for Sustainable Melbourne http://www.sustainablemelbourne.com A communications hub for re-inventing Melbourne as ecologically, socially and culturally sustainable. A project of the Victorian Eco-Innovation Lab (VEIL). For the first time in history the majority of the world’s population live in cities. How do we reduce the environmental demands of cities whilst maintaining and expanding the cultural and social vitality that can make life in the city so desirable and rewarding? In cities everywhere people are concerned about sustainability. Action is occurring at many levels and on many fronts. SustainableMelbourne.com is a network and communication system to deliver information, to connect people and projects, to accelerate the city’s transformation.

]]> Comment on Retrofittable Window Insulation by Gerard Doveyhttp://www.sustainablemelbourne.com/research/retrofittable-window-insulation/#comment-26768 Gerard Dovey Fri, 02 Dec 2011 10:58:09 +0000 http://www.sustainablemelbourne.com/?p=13211#comment-26768 This last autumn, I applied a "double-Glazing" to the existing windows of my Frankston house using one of the plastic film products available in eco-type shops. It has defintely made some diference to my weatherboard house in terms of temperature control. Along with overcladding half the house's external walls in colourbond along with a layer of insulation, I am gradually getting this inefficient cottage to be much more eco-friendly and better to live in.
