Eco open houses
During two summer weekends of 28-29 June and 5-6 July 2008 people will be
able to visit eco-houses in Brighton & Hove who will be opening their doors
to the public.
Eco Open Houses is a joint project between the Brighton Permaculture Trust,
the Low Carbon Trust and Brighton & Hove City Council. The event aims to
empower and inspire members of the public to make environmental changes to
their own homes through seeing what practical steps other people have taken
in their homes. It is about people learning from the experience of others
and making positive changes to reduce their environmental footprint.
The houses will demonstrate:
-
environmental renovation
-
insulation methods
-
renewable energy
-
reduced energy bills
-
water savings
-
waste water recycling and rainwater harvesting
-
green roofs
-
natural and recycled materials
By the end of May 2008 this website will list the houses featured in this event.
