A Cosy Evening of Energy Insights – Armchair Adventure


On 30 October, we enjoyed an interesting and informative evening with Govert, who shared his knowledge and practical insights on how to make our homes more comfortable, energy-efficient and sustainable.

During this Armchair Adventure, he explored the challenges of the energy transition in a time of rising energy prices and climate change. He shared valuable insights into how we can adapt our homes, improve our comfort and keep energy costs under control.

His presentation, accompanied by slides, gave us plenty to think about. Afterwards, we had the opportunity to take a closer look at the battery storage system and the heat pump in the house, giving us a better understanding of how these solutions work in practice.

Of course, the evening was not just about learning! We enjoyed coffee and cake, followed by drinks and plenty of lively conversation. There was lots of chatting about the evening’s topic, but also plenty of friendly socialising. The conversations continued well into the evening!

All in all, it was a successful, informative and thoroughly enjoyable evening, full of interesting insights, good company and, of course, plenty of Dutch gezelligheid!

Govert is Anne’s husband. Anne has been a club member for eight years, since they moved from Luxembourg. Over the course of 30 years, they lived in several countries. As the club organises more activities for and with members’ partners — who are also welcome to join — it was lovely to hear Anne’s husband give such an interesting talk at our second Armchair Adventure.
