Eco Open Houses 2010

Eco Open Houses is an annual collaborative project between Brighton Permaculture Trust, Low Carbon Trust and Brighton & Hove City Council.  

This year, on 09th, 10th, 11th and 12th September, people will be able to visit eco-houses in Brighton & Hove.  This event is run is conjunction with Brighton & Hove Open Door and is funded by the Energy Saving Trust.  The event is free and all are welcome.

The houses will feature low energy and water use through energy efficiency and water conservation measures such as high levels of insulation, renewable energy, rainwater harvesting, grey water reuse or an innovative use of recycled or natural materials.  Features include:

  • Insulation - floor, walls or roof
  • Renewable energy systems
  • Natural, recycled & reclaimed materials
  • Green roofs & living walls
  • Water saving devices & systems

The event aims to empower and inspire members of the public to make environmental changes to their own homes and behaviour through seeing what practical steps other local 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.
