Energy efficient Wekerle Energiahatékony Wekerle

Energy Efficient Wekerle is a bottom-up initiative which is trying to improve energy efficiency in a 100-year-old neighbourhood of Budapest. There are several different programmes under this initiative, such as the ‘Wekerle Energy Brigade’, which offers one-off training sessions to participants so they can learn DIY insulation techniques and then the opportunity to rent the necessary equipment. Another service is the rental of a thermal imaging camera, whose use is demonstrated at community events to show when and how to use these devices. They regularly organise events in a local café that was opened by a member of the community. The initiative is now linked to Transition Wekerle.
