Eco Open Houses 2011 (8-11 Sept) was a great success
We offer a big thank you to everyone who took part - the event was a great success. You can read some of the comments people have made about their visits.
There is plenty of information on this website about the houses that were open in previous years, and ideas for you to take on.
Some of the houses are old, some are new, some have won awards, and others just seem plain ordinary. What they have in common is that the people living in them save lots of money by having low energy and water bills, whilst enjoying warm happy homes in winter!
Eco Open Houses aims to show how simple behaviour changes and changes which can easily be made to your home can reduce your energy and water bills. By listening to the experiences of friends and neighbours and seeing the practical steps they have taken in their homes, we can all learn how to achieve reductions in our own homes.
Whether you are a home owner or tenant wanting to find out what you can do in your home to save money and feel healthier and warmer, a builder looking for better ways to build for your clients or just simply curious, be inspired by the eco-homes near you! You can see details of the houses on this website, or download the brochure (large pdf - may be slow).
