Welcome
In early summer 2008 people were be able to visit eco-houses in Brighton and Hove. We hope this will be an annual event.
You can download the brochure of the eco open houses event that has already run as a pdf (large file - 3Mb)
Eco Open Houses is a joint project between Brighton Permaculture Trust,
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
• rainwater harvesting
• green roofs
• natural and recycled materials
This event is free and all are welcome. We can visit these houses thanks to the generosity of the householders. Please be respectful and observe some rules:
- Opening days and times vary between houses. Some can only be visited as part of a guided tour. Please check the house's page before turning up!
- Children must be supervised by an adult.
- Sorry, no dogs (please ask householder for permission to admit guide dogs).
