Podcast appearances and mentions of tim forcey

Professor of Architecture, and host of ABC TV's Grand Designs Australia, Anthony Burke, hosts this electrifying panel discussion dispelling the myth that a sustainable home is a “thing of the future”. Featuring Kate Minter (Managing Director, Rewiring Australia), Marc England (CEO, Ausgrid) and Tim Forcey (author and home efficiency expert), this session unveils some of the innovations and techniques available to homeowners and tenants to help build a better future now.

Join Tim Forcey as he shares tips and strategies on how to slash your energy bills and save the planet. Learn how to transform your home for an efficient, comfortable, cheaper electric future.

Tim Forcey (pictured) was recently a guest on The Australia Institute's "Australia Biggest Book Club". He was interviewed and talked about his relatively new book," My Efficient Electric Home Handbook". Tim has been a guest on Climate Conversations. He spoke recently at "Shepparton's GV Library" a few months ago with the members of Zero Carbon Tatura, and that event was recorded.

More than 70 people were recently at Shepparton's GV Library to hear two speakers with an enlightening understanding of how to make your home more energy-efficient - the event, known as the "Home Energy Efficiency Talk" - was promoted by the City of Greater Shepparton through its "Sustainability & Environment Team". The first of the speakers was Tim Forcey, the fellow behind the Facebook page "My Efficient Electric Home" and the author of "My Efficient Electric Home Handbook: How to slash your energy bills, protect your health & save the planet". The second speaker was the CEO of GV Community Energy, Geoff Lodge. Tim Forcey was not a stranger to the Goulburn Valley, having been a guest at a virtual event organized by" Zero Carbon Tatura" and in May this year having been a guest on "Climate Conversations"

He is a writer, a comedian, a broadcaster, a wager of Wars on Waste and a general in the Fight for Planet A, Craig Reucassel! And the reinforcements are warranted as we launch into an extended opening segment focused on AEMO's 2024 Integrated System Plan. This discussion ranged across delights such as the big Consumer Energy Resources rebrand (and what's changed other than the name), why gas peaking capacity is like insurance (Tennant tells all) and the zero carbon tech we can turn to to deal with dunkelflaute in the long term (probably not batteries, and definitely not nuclear)! Our main paperWe also reached a tipping point on the concept of tipping points dear Summerupperers and took one for the collective team by diving into the latest offering from the University of Exeter's Global Systems Institute, the 2023 Global Tipping Points report. We had a look at the summary report (lots of things to worry about in there) and then did a deep dive on section four, Positive tipping points in technology, economy and society. TL;DR: ‘tipping points' may be a tad overused as a concept here but perhaps there are one or two areas in which we can leverage learning rates and catalyse some social contagion to replicate the success experienced by solar and wind.One more thingsTennant's One More Thing is an anecdote regarding a query he put to Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen at a recent forum at Parliament House. Politicians are known to duck questions from time to time, but at least the Minister's podcast themed parry gets points for novelty.Craig's One More Thing is his keen interest in ensuring costings for prospective nuclear plants factor in the expense of the continued use of aging, emissions intensive coal fired power stations while we wait for nuclear to come online. The man has a point!Frankie's One More Thing is a plug for friend of the pod, Tim Forcey, who's just published a book! My Efficient Electric Home Handbook is a practical guide on how to make your home more comfortable, efficient, fossil fuel free and cheaper to run. Tim is also one of the founders of popular Facebook group My Efficient Electric Home. Go check it out!Luke's One More Thing is the proposal from the Victorian Government on minimum rental standards for eminently sensible things like draught proofing and insulation. Plus his chat about the new standards with Victorian Energy and Climate Minister Lily D'Ambrosio on his other podcast , First Fuel

Freja Leonard (pictured) from Friends of the Earth in Melbourne was a surprise guest at a recent monthly meeting of Zero Cabon Tatura and told members about the group's "Community Gas Retirement Roadmap". In talking about the need for people to get off gas and go all-electric, Freja mentioned what she said was a rather special Facebook page organized by Tim Forcey - "My Efficient Electric Home - switching off fossil fuels" - encouraging everyone to access the page and take note of the included advice. At this point, Freja will launch the report for northern Victoria in Shepparton on Saturday, July 29, at a free barbecue organized by the Shepparton-based group, "Slap Tomorrow". The barbecue will see the sausages and onion cooked on an induction hotplate, powered by an electric car. Beyond that, Freja will again be in northern Victoria promoting the idea of getting off gas and going all-electric at the Tatura Transition Towns annual film festival on Saturday, August 26, which has been formatted to illustrate the benefits of cooking on electric appliances. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/robert-mclean/message

Today I'm chatting with chemical engineer/home energy advisor Tim Forcey. He's probably known best in the FIRE community for creating the extremely popular Facebook group, My Efficient Electric Home (MEEH) which currently has over 65,000 members.I've always said one of the most common traits in FIRE community is hyper efficiency of everything we spend money on, so I was very excited personally to have Tim on the show, especially with energy prices creeping higher and higher.Some of the topics we cover include:What made Tim become a home energy advisor? (00:02:25)What are the low hanging fruits to make our homes more energy efficient? (00:08:42)Is it true that electric air-conditioners are cheaper to run than gas systems for heating your home? (00:11:07)What is the “thermal envelope” and why is it important? (00:25:06)Building regulations in Australia and what Tim would mandate if he were in charge (00:37:46)What are heat pumps, how do they work and why has gas heating been so popular? (00:44:21)Tim's thoughts on solar energy and home batteries (00:52:12)The story behind “My Efficient Electric Home (MEEH)” Facebook group (01:00:50)LinksWebsite - timforcey.com.auFacebook group - My Efficient Electric Home (MEEH)YouTube Channel - RenewYouTube - Heat Pumps - Part 1 - Hot WaterYouTube - Heat Pumps - Part 2 - Space Heatingwww.aussiefirebug.com/podcast

Thanks to Michaela and Andy,3CR in Melbourne and Raul at Radio Skid Row in SydneyThe Beetaloo Gas Basin and The Great Artesian Water Basin are remote from us but tonight we hear the authentic voices of Traditional Owners and farmers.

They came from so far away to tell us city people their story. Please take up the campaign to stop Origin Gas Projects in the NT and Santos Gas in Narrabri." Water is life"......

Tim Forcey, through extensive work at the University of Melbourne, and the thinktank Beyond Zero Emissions, is a household name in a very particular type of household. But the work he does on home energy efficiency is relevant to every household. He started the Facebook group that became My Efficient Electric Home four years ago, and it has started to rapidly pick up steam. Tim's experience and expertise is broad, but in this episode we focus a lot on heatpump technology, the radically more efficient technology for heating that he's on a crusade to popularise, and the lessons he's learnt for running a successful Facebook group. If you're joining us from MEEH, welcome! We look forward to bringing you more about this topic, just as soon as people step forward to help us, or you let us know what you'd like covered!
