ECo Living @ South West July 2011

Venue: ITE College West

Date: 27.07.2011

Time: 9am 1pm

Overview

ECo Living @ South West is a year-long community grassroots

programme that aims to relief the burden of low/ middle-income

families while doing our bit for the Earth. Energy, water and waste audits

in HDB households are performed by volunteers in order to identify areasfor improvement.

The theme for this time was Energy. A healthy turnout of 60 students

from ITE College West volunteered to go door-to-door to conduct the

audits.

Most of the students had already taken part in the previous audits. This is

helpful in building up a relationship between students and residents.

There have been a training session at ITE College West at 26.06.2011

and the volunteers get a short briefing before the audit starts.

Once the volunteers were clear on their tasks they were told to divide

in groups, with a variety of language skills in each group. We hadpre-allocated the households to groups of volunteers.

At 9.30pm, the volunteers collected their logistics. Each group would

get a reusable bag containing the resident info sheet, an energy

monitor, a lanyard for every group member, a clipboard, reminder

medals, stickers, a help sheet on how to conduct the audit.

By 12.30am, all the volunteers had completed their allocated units andreturned to the RC.

After all the logistics were collected, a mass debrief was conducted. At

1pm, the programme officially ended.
