Do you rent your home in the City of Sydney Council Area? Ever wondered why it gets so hot in summer — or what you can do about it? This summer, you can help make a real difference by joining the NSW ‘Renter Researchers’ citizen science project.
The initiative is part of the Healthy Homes for Renters campaign, which is working to improve living conditions and energy efficiency in rental homes. Many renters across Sydney live in properties without proper insulation, air conditioning, or draught sealing — making them uncomfortable and costly to run during extreme weather.
By becoming a Renter Researcher, you’ll not only gain valuable insight into how your own home performs during summer but also help gather important data that supports better housing standards across NSW.
