SuperHomes Week – 16th-24th March
Wed, 13 February 2013
Pioneering owners of some of the UK’s most eco-friendly SuperHomes will host free Open Days in March. SuperHomes are older homes refurbished by their owners for greater comfort, lower bills and far fewer carbon emissions - at least 60% less! Achieving such a high standard requires major home improvements. In short, this is a chance to see eco renovation at its impressive best. Visitors can expect to come away with plenty of ideas for greening their own properties. They’ll also gain a better understanding of the home improvements now eligible for Green Deal finance.

Most SuperHomes have superior insulation; many have alternative heating sources and some produce their own energy. Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian and post-war properties are amongst those open to the public. Visitors will learn more about both the benefits and challenges of eco renovation. SuperHomers are genuine early adopters who can speak from experience.
