Security Alert
by Gay Buckingham 06 Aug '21

06 Aug '21

A member of the public has approached one of our householders, asking if they would bring to residents’ attention the fact that people going past the High Street units can see a great deal of the interior. I understand the person who made the approach travels by bus and wanted us to understand that, even if the blinds/drapes are part pulled, anyone passing, but bus patrons in particular, get a very intimate view of people and their activities – and that we should make all our family members and visitors aware of this. The complainant (if that is the correct term!) wanted the matter brought to one of our Thursday meetings. I don’t believe this is an agenda item nor do I think it requires discussion, so I am bringing it to your attention in this email instead. I was not the person approached but have undertaken to alert you all on behalf of the person who was approached. Enjoy the weekend! Best, Gay Gay Buckingham +64 27 4544012

Monitoring Air Quality - Installing equipment in our units
by Maria Callau 05 Aug '21

05 Aug '21

Hi Everyone, The equipment for the Energy Management monitoring research program is almost ready to be installed. I had many people of the group expressing interest in being part of it. So I can almost assume that everybody wants to be part of this research project. Can I ask: *If somebody DOES NOT want their house monitored please reply to this email.* Michael Jack from the University will need to access the houses to install the equipment which includes two monitors to be installed in the walls. One in the lounge and one bedroom. They will be installed with a double sided tape to avoid holes in the walls. The idea is that they will remain there for 2 years. He will also install an energy monitoring device in the the meter box. After 3 months from the date they are installed, you will be able to download an app and view the data which includes temperature, humidity, CO2, lighting, sound, etc. Here is a link to the equipment to be installed. https://www.tether.co.nz/enviroq There will also be a small survey which is still being discussed. We still need to coordinate a time, he was suggesting a couple of days next week after 5pm. Kind Regards, *Maria Callau* 0211847490 *SUR *Architecture Limited www.sur-architecture.com

just cleaned the filters in the air exchange units - Tim, are there more on the way?
by Jeffrey Robinson 02 Aug '21

Hi everyone I just cleaned the air exchange filters, easy to do (with a vacuum cleaner), they slide out of the main unit in the attic. One filter takes air from the wet areas and (so Catherine tells me) the air is immediately expelled outside, this was pretty dirty. The other was dusty. They are just made of paper and, if we had some spares, we would replace the wet area one now. Tim said he ordered a 'box' and they sent him a box of 2! Can Toiora order a bulk lot? CheersJeffrey
