Superhomes
This year marks SuperHomes’ 10th anniversary.
To celebrate, one of the UK’s most eco-friendly SuperHomes will be hosting a free Open Day this September in Faringdon (Sat 09). SuperHomes are older homes refurbished by their owners who enjoy greater comfort, lower energy bills and at least 60% less carbon emissions.
Zoë Williams’ 1950s bungalow in Faringdon uses a range of measures to keep it as eco-friendly as possible and minimising her household bills comes as an added bonus. Her home is fitted with a boiler powered by wood pellets and a sun oven which runs on solar energy – meaning her house is free from fossil fuels from heating to cooking.
Take a tour of a SuperHome and you will come away with a number of energy saving tips for your own home. You can also expect to hear first-hand from the owners of their journey to becoming a SuperHomer and honest reviews of the process of improving your home sustainably.
The free events are co-ordinated by the National Energy Foundation and as it’s our 10th year we have more SuperHomes open across the countRy this September than ever before and 100 events across the country.
To pre-book a free tour of these unmissable events head over to our website www.superhomes.org.uk.
