Eco Open Houses – June/July

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.

Visit www.ecoopenhouses.org for more information.

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

-waste water recycling and rainwater harvesting

-green roofs
