We'll send you a tracker to record your home's temperatures all season, and then we'll get our resident maths wizard to whip up all the data we get into insights we can use for reports, submissions, and conversations with MPs.

It’s so important for us to be able to show just how hot renters' homes get, either because they’re poorly-built and maintained, or because renters just can’t afford to cool them.

This project is generously supported by a grant from the City of Sydney.

We'll send you a temperature tracker to use in your home for the season, and the data you send us will be used in in our reports, policy submissions to the government, and discussions with the media.
