Green Open Homes Day
We were excited to be run our first open home event on Saturday 16th of November 2024!
Our Green Open Homes Day was all about local people and local homes. The aim was to share real stories of how people have retrofitted and adapted their homes to use renewable energy and apply energy efficient measures.
With four homes involved in and near Emersons Green, there was a whole range of adaptations to see – from an air source heat pump, solar panels, battery systems, and even a zero emissions boiler, visitors were able to drop by for a chat with homeowners near them about using alternative energy sources.
Our home openers had installed plenty of other energy-saving measures like cavity wall or loft insulation, and secondary glazing, that helped them save money on energy bills.
We loved getting to speak to more people from our community, and we’d like to say a big thank you to our amazing home openers for generously opening their doors for the day! If you’ve retrofitted your home or made energy-saving adaptations, why not get in touch about being involved in a future Green Open Homes Day? Email info@elcoe.co.uk to connect.
