The ELCoE Green Open Homes Day
We’re excited to be running our first open home event on Saturday 16th of November 2024! Our Green Open Homes Day is all about local people and local homes. The aim is to share real stories of how people have retrofitted and adapted their homes to use renewable energy and apply energy efficient measures. So whether you’re interested in opening your own home, or you’re curious to discover how your local community is working to phase out fossil fuels behind closed doors, we look forward to bringing our Emersons and Lyde Green neighbours together this November.
Call out for Green Home Hosts
Of course we can’t have an open homes day without the homes, that’s why we’re on the look out for some amazing Emersons & Lyde Green residents who would be excited to share their renewable or energy efficient measures with the community.
What’s the role of a Green Open Homes host?
Hosts will open their homes to other people who are curious about renewable energy and energy-saving measures. Hosts will share their own experiences of these, giving first-hand accounts of how they approached installation and what they learnt from the project. Guests may have varying levels of knowledge, but don’t worry, hosts aren’t expected to be technical experts!
Do I need to have a home that totally runs on renewable energy?
Not necessarily! we’re looking to hear from a range of people with a variety of experiences. Maybe you’ve taken measures to block draughts in your home and improve insulation, maybe you have an air source heat pump, or maybe you’re right at the start of a retrofit journey and you can share the results of your home’s survey or your proposed plans. You could even have taken retrofit measures that you feel haven’t been effective, but want to share what you’ve learned. Either way, we’d like to hear from you.
How do I register my interest?
