We are building an alliance of exemplar solid walled houses that have been transformed by their owners to typically reduce their energy use and carbon footprint by 60% or more. We are particularly looking for homes with insulated walls. We make the houses accessible to the public through arranging Open Days, so that others can learn how to save energy and be inspired. We support the Open Days through payment of a fee to the home owner, we publicise the Open Days and produce literature about the house for visitors to take away. A representative from NEF or SE-A can be present at the Open Days.

We already have 12 alliance members who have transformed their houses, and some have already successfully held Open Days.

If you have renovated your solid walled home to make major energy savings, would you be interested in joining this alliance to share your experiences? Or do you know of somebody else who may be interested? If so, please email me to discuss further. I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards
David Hancock

Most German houses are built with solid, indeed they still are being built this way, and are more energy efficient than ours and more comfortable to live in too.]]> Searching for energy efficient solid walled homes - please help https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=857&Focus=9302#Comment_9302 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=857&Focus=9302#Comment_9302 Mon, 12 Nov 2007 22:10:13 +0000 Nick Parsons
