Behind-the-scenes on Building an Eco Home with Ian Collins

An exciting chance to go behind the scenes on a
newly constructed Eco House in Cambridge.

Join the owner in his new home for the complete story of the building of a house in the back garden of his former home (dating from 1930), complete with comparison energy bills, graphs showing savings, thermal imaging photos. A tour and refreshements will also be included.

The house is single storey, built in an L shape around a 50 year old liquidambar tree. A passive solar design, it includes a ground source heat pump, mechanical ventilation with heat recovery, rainwater collection and reuse, solar hot water heating, and lots of thought to the sustainability of the materials used in construction.

Venue: The house is located on Madingley Road (full address will be given upon booking).

The house can’t accommodate more than 25 people, so booking is essential – email info@cambridgecarbonfootprint.org to reserve your place.
